¿Y qué? El presidente Barack Obama fue a la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas el martes y defendió la democracia y denunció el terrorismo. Oooh. Aaaaah ¿Es por la paz mundial y la erradicación del hambre también? ¿Está en contra del odio? Que gran declaración. Todo lo que el presidente realmente hizo en su […]
Looks like Miami Lakes Mayor Michael “Muscles” Pizzi is seeking some higher intervention in his re-election campaign — as evidenced by the generous use of mirrors on this here yard sign, posted on the corner of 154th Street and Northwest 79th Avenue. And here we thought santeria rituals in political campaigns were unique to Hialeah. […]
So, there are 45 days left in the race for the White House and all the little, smaller seats that actually sometimes have a lot more impact on our day to day lives — and resources and services and taxes — than the national election. And while you can expect me to dwell repeatedly through […]
Florida continues to be in the national spotlight for both presidential candidates, but Republican nominee Mitt Romney owns it this week. After his post-Univision forum rally on Wednesday, his son Craig Romney was in Miami Lakes for a meet-and-greet Friday evening and his vice presidential running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan, will greet breakfast diners at […]
George P. Bush and buddies end their MavPAC bus tour in downtown Miami this afternoon, at the Wolfson campus of Miami Dade College. Bush and Jay Zeidman co-founders of the Maverick PAC — which aims to engage young voters and recruit fresh Republican blood — started the tour on Monday, visiting college campuses in Tallahassee, […]

Man, what I wouldn’t give to be at the Miami-Dade County Commission meeting today when Commissioner Esteban “Stevie el Bobo” Bovo proposes — again — that the way to curb absentee ballot fraud is by having pre-paid postage on the ballots themselves so people can put them in the mail. Just who does he think […]
Dear Gov. Rick Scott: First, let me offer some kudos on your efforts to stem voter fraud in Florida, my home state. Then, let me offer my assistance. I am happy to volunteer my time – you can save taxpayer-paid employees for something else – to go through the voter rolls and cross-check the predominantly […]
Where are the authorities and why is Miami-Dade Commissioner Steve “El bobo boletero” Bovo still a free man? Hey, Senator or State Representative or whatever-we-call-you-now Alex Diaz de la Portilla! Save your PAC money. Bovo doesn’t need to be recalled. He needs to be handcuffed! The latest out of the Hialeah absentee ballot fraud scandal […]
It was no surprise to anyone to learn this week that both Miami-Dade Commission Chairman Joe Martinez and the county’s Property Appraiser Pedro Garcia filed court challenges to the Aug. 14 election that was tainted by absentee ballot fraud that is known and public and investigated. Garcia lost to termed-out State Rep. Carlos Lopez-Cantera solely […]
