Lou Pearlman is (allegedly) a scumbag, part 423,876. Deltona massacre trial goes to closing arguments. The Sentinel’s edit board doesn’t like net neutrality. They’d prefer to stick their heads in the sand and pretend the mega telecoms aren’t out to screw us. Coming this fall: TV shows about TV shows. Um, so this guy...

One female city commissioner thinks Robert Stuart is a hot piece of ass. (Hint: It’s not Patty Sheehan) Pretty much everyone thinks Homer Hartage is going to lose his congressional bid. Except Homer Hartage, who earnestly believes he’s going to win. Everyone thinks Fred Brummer is an asshole. Jim Clark, the guy who writes...
