KEY LARGO, Fla. - A 19-year-old South Florida woman who fled from law enforcement in the Florida Keys told the deputy who caught up to her that getting arrested was on her "bucket list." Janiya Shaimiracle Douglas, from Homestead, was charged with fleeing and eluding, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said. The deputy spotted the woman's Toyota sedan "speeding and driving recklessly" just before 8 a.m. Thursday morning on Card Sound Road in Key Largo. He turned on his lights and siren but said the driver did not immediately stop.

Democrats apparently have it all, just like Bogie and Bacall and Edward G. Robinson sailing away to Key Largo. When votes don't go your way, you keep on counting until it comes up the way you want.

President Obama Sunday returned from yet another golf vacation, this one a two-day excursion to Key Largo with First Lady Michelle Obama. The Obamas stayed at the ritzy Ocean Reef Club, requiring a major security operation to ensure their safety and happiness. “The White House rented several houses in Ocean Reef and security in the community was tight,” according to KeysInfoNet, which said F-16s had to be scrambled a couple of times to escort private planes out of the area. It’s the third vacation of the year for the Obamas, following their annual sojourn in Hawaii in January and separate...

After a joint appearance of the Wons at a Coral Gables high school to deliver the pre-vacation obligatory speech on the importance of getting an overpriced college education.Besides, that whole Moscow/Kiev situation could stand a little unplugged cooling-off period if you ask me.
