TENNIS ANYONE? THUGET DOES THE SONY ERICSSON

Do you like my hat?  I bought it with the extra money I got from the raise Mayor Regalado gave me!!!

I wonder who's playing?  Who cares!  I'm skipping work and I got the tickets for FREEEEE

Hey mom, say FREEEEE!!!

Who is that woman with the red hair and the I-Phone???

Hot on the heels of the scandalous story in the Crespo Gram Report on "thuget" Ada Rojas' insatiable appetite for free tickets, Ada Rojas does the Sony Ericsson tennis tournament!

"Don't you know who I am???"

While the rest of us are hard at work to pay for tax and fee increases, it's good to know some people can still enjoy the "Beverly Hills" lifestyle...

Ah, to work for Mayor Regalado's office!

TOMMY: CAN YOU CALL THE COMMIES?

Hey Tomass,

Can you call your Commie pals over China and tell them to release our blogger brother-in-arms?

Seems they don't like freedom of expression over there or freedom of the press.

Prominent Chinese blogger charged as crackdown deepens.

BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese police have arrested prominent writer Ran Yunfei for challenging the ruling Communist Party, people close to the blogger said on Monday, the latest in a string of arrests in a deepening crackdown on dissent.

"Basically, it's the crime of expressing your opinions," said Wang, formerly a legal scholar.

More than 100 activists, many of them active on Twitter and blogging sites, have been detained, subjected to monitoring and intimidation by the security forces or have gone missing since late February, particularly after the online calls for "Jasmine" gatherings, according to Amnesty International.

"The government on the one hand prevents freedom of the press and disallows the free flow of information, and on the other hand ... conceals the truth," Ran wrote on his Twitter account on Feb 14.

Sounds like the kind of shit that happens in another country about 90 miles south of Key West Tomassito...

THE MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE DOES IT AGAIN!

The Herald Mayor's Press Office does it again!

Reporter Press Secretary Chuck Rabin could not contain himself and waited exactly FIVE paragraphs into his story to actually mention the contents of the Mayor's address.

Instead Rabin attacks Chief Exposito, devoting the first four paragraphs of his article to reporting and continuing the childish bickering between the mayor and police chief.

Only after he sets up the conflict between mayor and chief, conveniently failing to mention that it was the mayor who hired the chief in the first place, does Chuckie say that Retardado "focused on public/private partnerships, keeping the city clean, art in public places and helping the poor."

Miami is going bankrupt.

The CFO Larry Spring has his properties foreclosed on.

The budget is based on non existent revenues from red light cameras and the failed takeover of the parking authority.

Billboards going up everywhere, with lobbyists and special interests controlling City Hall.

All anyone has to do is read this blog, The Crespo Gram Report, Investigation Miami, the Straw Buyer, to know THE CITY IS ALL FUCKED UP!!!

And Chuck Rabin reports on the bickering between the mayor and chief???

What vision did Mayor Regalado lay as to how he intends to lead the city forward as he hacked and coughed his way though his so called speech?

No vision at all.

Where are the opposing and critical views the Herald used to include when Mayor Manny Diaz gave state of the city speeches?

Nowhere.

But Chuck did make sure to take one final swipe at Chief Exposito.

Chuck...

If you are going to be a sycophant, at least pick someone with class.

Unfortunately for the citizens of Miami, you got your head up the Tom Ass!

WHERE WAS THE PHANTOM MAYOR?

Not present at the State of the City address.

Is a rift emerging?

We've heard the Phantom Mayor is talking to the feds about his involvement in the gambling machine issue, spilling his guts to prevent jail time...

Will he stab Tomasito in the back?

A NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT

Mayor Regalado and City Manager Crapp's inability to resolve the situation with City of Miami Police Chief Miguel Exposito is leading to another "public relations nightmare," this time in the New York Times.

Miami Police Chief Under Investigation

Compare this to the recent investigation completed by the U.S. Department of Justice in New Orleans and you'll see how the complete ineptitude of Regalado and Crapp managed to turn this into a giant mess.

NEW ORLEANS — Justice Department officials on Thursday released the findings of a 10-month investigation into this city’s Police Department, revealing a force that is profoundly and alarmingly troubled and setting in motion a process for its wholesale reform.

The report describes in chilling detail a department that is severely dysfunctional on every level: one that regularly uses excessive force on civilians, frequently fails to investigate serious crimes and has a deeply inadequate, in many cases nonexistent, system of accountability.

Using the report as a guideline, federal and local officials will now enter into negotiations leading to a consent decree, a blueprint for systemic reform that will be enforced by a federal judge.

Why did the Mayor not call for the sort of review of the City of Miami Police Department?

Instead, they went of and hired a $70,000 consultant that agrees with the police chief!

Mayor Regalado continues on a daily basis to show that he and Manager Crapp are unfit to serve and unfit to lead.

RAQUELITA 2013 - THE CAMPAIGN BEGINS

Mark today as the day the Raquelita for Mayor of Miami 2013 campaign has started.

With her unintelligible Op-Ed piece in the Herald Press Office, Raquelita has tipped her hand and revealed what we have been thinking all along, she is in the running for her dad's post.

Raquelita, who had no bearing whatsoever on the recall election other than blabbering on a Spanish radio station no one listens to, pens the epic "Recall's lessons still being absorbed," where she manages to quote Shakespeare and talk about the recall, Tallahassee, the School Board, Charter Reform, Alvarez and Burgess.

While her name recognition is high among the Cuban elderly who put her father in office, Raquelita needs to boost her profile among the Anglo "thinking class" who still read and think the Herald Press Office matters.

Ask yourself, why the hell else would she opine on the recall?  And why does the Herald Press Office give her the opportunity to do so?

Rumors have been circling around town that Tomas Regalado is tired of being in office, and he is literally sick, having been seen with shaky hands at events, and looking more and more uncomfortable in his own hunchbacked self.

Phantom Mayor Armando Gutierrez cannot fathom the possibility of losing his iron grip over City Hall, so enter Raquelita.

Her election to the School Board had nothing to do with children, it had nothing to do with her wanting to improve education, but had everything to do with giving her a profile, fund-raising base, and machinery with which to run for future office. 

When her father declares that he does not want to run, but wants his legacy to continue, he will point to his eldest daughter, the single mother, who loves children and is on the school board, and the daughter of Cuban radio personality and his beloved dead wife "Raquelita" as his logical successor.

The Cuban elderly will cry with passion over how beautiful it is that Tomasito wants to pass on his legacy to Raquelita.  Tomasito will say he is for women's rights, because a woman has never been elected mayor.

Phantom Mayor Armando and his wife Maritza will orchestrate the absentee ballots and press strategy.  Every single developer, lobbyist, billboard company, gambling machine operator, and anyone else in Miami will be shaken down to fill up Raquelita's coffers.

And the City of Miami will get more of the same.

Raquelita likes Romans, we prefer the Greeks, specifically the oracle at Delphi.

Don't say we didn't see this coming, and don't say we didn't warn you.

If Phantom Mayor Gutierrez, Tomasito, and Raquelita are not stopped now, prepare for a Regalado dynasty until 2025.

A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS

Are Tomasito and Chavez starting to look like one another???
