The Florida Marlins have released the final plans on a $515 million retractable-roof stadium.

Broward County Mayor Stacy Ritter should have just kept her mouth shut. The Miami Herald got a few words out of Ritter regarding her and her husband Russ Klenet’s Ponzi scheme/home renovation/voting scandal. And what does Ritter offer? Obfuscation and lies. From the article: Ritter, a Democratic lawmaker at the time, disputes media…

Teenagers toilet papered Bernie Madoff’s Palm Beach house this weekend and then called the newspaper to take credit. They said the prank was sanctioned by their parents because Madoff had lost their trust funds. Madoff is confined to his Manhattan condo, so he didn’t see the TP himself. Nor did…
I will venture a guess that Jack Seiler, Dean Trantalis, and Steve Rossi all have some familiarity with porn. The difference between those three candidates and the fourth candidate for Fort Lauderdale mayor is a paper trail: Earl Rynerson’s credit card statements contain charges that can be traced back to…
Last August, when the presidential race was a toss-up and the the stock market was not yet gyrating, Barack Obama’s campaign released this paper, which promised that as president he would create five million “green jobs.”Not many, it seemed, would be in the recycling industry.

This weekend’s New York Times Magazine has a lengthy article that dangles a tantalizing reward: The answer to the question, What Do Women Want?Sexually.Sorry, fellow straight guys.

Yep, while nobody (except maybe the unsleeping eye of Anthony Man) was watching, Dr. Marion Thorpe announced that he would be proud to serve Florida in the U.S. Senate. That declaration didn’t make much of a splash. Hell, the Quinniapac poll released last week didn’t even bother factoring Thorpe, the…
Broward County Mayor Stacy Ritter’s involvement with a billion-dollar Ponzi scheme should finally wise Barack Obama up about his supporter, friend, and possible White House hire (that’s the two of them pictured above at an Obama rally at the BankAtlantic Center last year).
