Miami New Times is the local ultra-liberal rag. Read it for fun, not for news.
Fun indeed! I can't remember the last time I encountered this much melodrama in the first paragraph of an article (Could the author still be in high school? One wonders.):
Marielena Stuart stood in the middle of a quiet street, 120 miles across the swamp from Miami, and stared down the black plastic barrel of a news camera. Behind her loomed a monstrous church, its 100-foot orange-brick façade shimmering like scales in the nighttime spotlights. Stuart glanced up at its one round window — a Cyclops's unblinking eye gazing out over the strange, tiny town of Ave Maria — and shuddered.
The only thing missing was the opening, "It was a dark and stormy night ... " I guess this is the liberal version of "hard-hitting journalism."
