The Bus Loop gets Greedy

Aug 25th, 2010

Those involved with charity often consider themselves morally superior; after all they donate their time for good causes. They also usually consider themselves immune from criticism, even when they go too far. In a depressed economy, when many are out of work and many more are making far less than they were 2 years ago; ……



Why I’m Voting for Rick Scott

Aug 16th, 2010

As a registered Republican, I’ll be voting on August 24th in the Republican primary. A year ago, it appeared the Bill McCollum was going to coast into the position. The Democratic candidate, Alex Sink, is a nobody. Democrats know they have no chance. The winner of the Republican primary will be Governor. But I realize ……



Yelp vs Urbanspoon

Aug 15th, 2010

As someone who’s been reviewing restaurants and clubs for as long as the internet has been around, I take it seriously. Not because I want to feel like my opinions are gospel; but because I’d like to help other people avoid an unexpected experience, particuarly when they’re on vacation and they only have a few ……

 WorstPizza.com Critic’s Rating: 1 Slice

I’m relatively new to Florida (4 years), and as someone who worked in New York as a food critic for 8 years I think I know something about Italian food; particularly pizza. I’ve stumbled upon this site a few times through Google, and I have to admit I never really took it ……



Wasserman-Schulz’s Numbers Don’t Add Up

Jul 16th, 2010

As an affluent, educated, straight white male living in South Florida, I have to say I’m just plain embarrassed to have Debbie Wasserman Schultz as my representative. There’s nothing worse than a “representative” who couldn’t give a rat’s butt about her constituents. She lives for the progressive agenda, which is in direct conflict with the ……



Time for EOL on New Times’ Best of Awards

Jun 6th, 2010

The New Times “Best of” awards are one of the inspirations for InsideFortLauderdale, and I have to thank them for that. When I first moved to Fort Lauderdale, I remember searching the internet for restaurants and clubs and that there was very little information. The New Times’ Best of Awards always seemed to pop ……



Crist Ends his Political Career

Apr 16th, 2010

Charlie Crist effectively ended his political career when he vetoed SB6, a revolutionary bill that would have been the first step to end the stranglehold the Teacher’s unions have on Florida’s education system. In a move that is surely motivated by the fact he is trailing Marco Rubio in the Senate Primary polls by 23 ……

Floridians know about Public Options

Jul 19th, 2009

As the  health care “debate” rages on, its interesting to hear the different takes on it. As a concept, who could be against quality health care for everyone? The problem is that for any idea, you have to put it in the context of reality. Bill Clinton thought that every family deserved a home. Its ……
