Get Used To It Get used to working for a corporation, Pulpy boy. Today I was going to write about how the Sun-Sentinel’s resident crotchety old man Tom Jicha needs to stick to writing lame TV pieces instead of politics (is there something in the water? Jicha rants about global…
Yeah, I was rolling along, with 11 of 14 Sweet 16 teams intact until that last two games of the day. Kentucky-Kansas and Texas-USC. Kentucky, my team, got whupped. I had them making it to the 8 to lose to UCLA. Texas got whupped. I had them going all the…
On the air Wednesday morning, NBC-6 sports anchor and Miami Dolphins color commentator Joe Rose commentated on, um, color — and what he said wasn’t pretty. When a caller mentioned something about the difference between light-skinned and darker-skinned black women on Rose’s morning drive radio show on 790 The Ticket,…
Memphis Will Excite Why talk about the news or crime when the best days of the tournament are here. The first round is so great, all those games going on at once, with the scores and times going like stock tickers, the occasional gem (like VCU-Duke), the mini-dramas in routs…
The Balance Sheet is reporting that the City of Hollywood’s CRA is producing a video starring … Mayor Mara Giulianti. They’ve gotten a copy of the script, which includes this little stage direction: “Mayor Mara in outside locations (downtown & broadwalk).” And ends with the mayor, who is running for…
Don’t you hate it when the people who program your sports don’t know a damn thing about the games? Our CBS affiliate, WFOR-Channel 4 appears to have made several horrible decisions regarding its TV coverage of March Madness today. The second game, at 2:30, they have Georgetown-Belmont — which has…
The Sun-Sentinel’s front-page feature on Hollywood Mayor Mara Giulianti left me wondering why the hell it had been written, other than to gross us all out with the information that the 62-year-old Giulianti and her husband like to “skinny-dip” in their backyard hot tub. That horrific image is not going…
Remember those “glitches” from Election Night that had Al Zucaro thinking he’d beaten Lois Frankel to become the next mayor of West Palm Beach? Well, George Bennett reports in the Palm Beach Post today that it was the fault of an Internet company hired by the elections office to display…
Mex One, who also goes by the name David Alvarado, is trying to explain why a surprisingly massive break-dancing exhibition featuring more than 60 crews from around the world would be happening in, of all places, Fort Lauderdale. “We have people flying in from Japan, South America, France, Italy, Korea…
The e-mails regarding one of the leading 2008 presidential contenders arrive every week or so, and the subject lines aren’t kind. “Obama profits from media cover-up of family ties to slavery.” “Letter to Random House charges Barack Obama book is a fraud.” “The last days of Obama.” “Obama caught in…
The Rum Shack and I go way back. I’d enjoyed the place when it was Rosie’s, but in its second incarnation as Ray’s Key West Grill, the place was just weird. The people were as unpredictable as the food and service. You might hear a guy growling “I am the…
In a Tanker’s Wake Tailpipe lies and embellishes: The details in this story are completely incorrect (“Ten Seconds to Eternity,” Tailpipe, March 12). Who are your sources? None, maybe, or perhaps it’s those with ulterior motives. The people associated with this paddle trip know what happened; it was a non-event…
Frank Crimi wheels himself through the buffet line at the Tropic Café, a tiki-themed cafeteria on the third floor of the Broward County Courthouse. He serves himself two fried chicken legs, some lasagna, mixed vegetables, and garlic bread, then grabs a bag of potato chips, two cans of V8 juice,…
Do You Believe? I’ve been staying away from the NCAAs — but it’s time to unload some of my picks: — All 10 seeds will advance to the second round. — Memphis runs to the 8. — SEC goes strong again this year with four Sweet 16 reps (Vandy, Tenn,…
Hey, Frankelstein may have pulled it off (despite the Post’s endorsement of her opponent, Al Zucaro), but it was a bad day for incumbents yesterday. Two were knocked loose from Cooper City after it was found out that they enjoyed a glass of wine or two before commission meetings and…
Yes, ol’ Pat has exposed himself as a gutless government crony and warmonger. It started in the Miami Herald yesterday with Barry Jackson’s very short article headlined, “Heat’s Riley offers political views.” In that piece, the slicked-back b-ball legend basically complained that everybody was being too hard on poor George…
This Broward-based fellow, Marc Goulet, billed himself as a physician and ran six medical clinics in five counties. Problem is that he doesn’t have a license, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office (as reported by the Miami Herald). I did a little quick Internet digging on the guy and found…
Someone named George A. was kind enough a couple of days ago to link this Jerry Capeci piece on indicted Hollywood cop (and wannabe Mafioso) Kevin Companion in a message below. I was going to let it stand alone — you know, as one of those little Pulp treats you…
Joe Kollin, a veteran Sun-Sentinel reporter who recently began a condo living column in the newspaper, is a journalist with principles. And the latest proof of this, the full glory of which is printed below, shows that he also owns something else: gonads the size of Florida grapefruits. In this…
Getty Images Photo Of The Day The Miami Herald just removed the “Photo of the Day” featuring hot bare-breasted Latinas to make room for … hot Hispanic asses from the Calle Ocho celebration. I could get used to this…
Mara Wants “Transparency” Mayor Mara Giulianti, after decades of being against any type of ethics in government at all, has finally seen the light. In her “Facets of the Diamond” column in the puffy South Florida Sun-Times the Hollywood honchess breaks the news that she is now recommending a new…
The Riviera Beach Municipal Marina is a happening place. Houseboat resident and political activist extraordinaire Fane Lozman beat the city in stirring First Amendment case last week after a jury decided that the city’s attempt to evict him from Slip 452 was a violation of Lozman’s freedom of speech (say…
