Well, as usual, this being Monday, the floodgates opened and everybody was posting. As a result, I have a lot of ground to cover for this evening's Sift. Get comfortable.
A- The world according to babalu: Obama wants the U.S. to be a communist state and employs the thug-like tactics of the
If it bothers you so, i could point out a few acts of "violence and thuggery" recently from Obama backers, with pictures and everything. Let me know, Id be happuy to ram them down your snide throat.
Not unlike a dumbed down 50 Cent, babalu delivers day after day.
B- Indeed, Eye on Miami has a sense of humor.
C- The Cuban reforms? Just an illusion, according to Miami & Beyond.
D- Ipanemic covers the Exxxotica Convention for Miami Beach 411.
It was just like a regular convention only with more dildos. And porn stars. And whips. And latex. There was a stage off in the far corner, featuring screaming orgasm competitions and wet t-shirt contests.
E- A couple new clubs are noted by Miami Nights.
F- Mayor Manny thinks the Miami Herald spent too much time writing about his blog. Two words for the Mayor: Hyper. Link.
G- Miamism Pix gives us a good visual of the recent changes to the Miami skyline.
H- [redacted] on Miami's homeless...
If New York has the smartest homeless people in the country, then Miami has the friendliest. It makes sense: After all, bums in Miami have had the good fortune of being homeless in a tropical paradise. Just the other day when Brooke and I were at the beach, a homeless guy came walking down the shoreline, trudged onto the sand, plopped his house-bag down and just laid there in the sun. EXACTLY LIKE ME AND BROOKE. I mean, that’s what people come to Miami to do – lay on the beach. And when Brooke and I had to go home to do some work? The homeless guy got to stay! Because he had nothing else to do.
I- Spangdish rates some restaurants as to their kid friendliness quotient.
J- Mark your calendars. Arianna Huffington is coming to Coral Gables on May 6th, according to the (covert) overt.
K- I'm a day late with this one but check out the South Florida Fan Blog's recent brush with tennis greatness.
After all, at least for one Saturday in April, I played tennis next to Venus Williams, almost on the same court, at the same time, and I held my own.

There's on sentence in the mayor's post that explains so much about what is wrong with our government:
"To learn more about Elevate Miami, visit: http://www.elevatemiami.com/ or my website http://www.miamigov.com/."
No. Miami's government site is not your site, it's the city's site. You are not the city. It's not yours to run and control like the despotic dictators you demonize in your ascent to power. When you start referring to public goods as yours, you cease to be the executive of a democratically representative population and are nothing more than a two-bit dictator overseeing a banana republic for your own personal profit and influence.
Too much spicy food this evening, Alex? :)

Rick, Thanks so much for putting in the Venus Williams story. We really appreciate it when you link us.
Let me know what we can do to return the favor more.
rick,
Watching the Orange Bowl come down reminds me every day of why I will a.) never move back to Miami and b.) do my damn best to make sure they never get another unnecessary tax dollar from me. You would have to be insane to want to purchase property in Miami and grant those corrupt a-holes (I can say that, right?) on the commission any sort of governing power over your land. The entire thing is a cesspool run by people who would feel right at home in any despotic regime.
It all lends itself to my theory that the Cuban-American politicians that this community has empowered are not much different, philosophically or tactically, than the Castro regime they love to allude to when drumming up the votes of both the living and the dead.
