No One At This Taco Bell Speaks English In South Florida
Hialeah Florida is a very Cuban and Latin area, High Crime Prostitution, and very little English. I can literally drive there from my house in 30 minutes. I live in south Broward County. Hialeah is in north Miami-Dade County. I try not to go south. We have a saying here, will the last American to leave Miami please take the American flag... of course that is mostly hyperbole, as places like South Beach is a tourist Mecca with really hot models and South American women are really beautiful.

I no longer have any patirence for the live shots of TV newsmen and newswomen standing in an area designatied as dangerous and bringing us the "news" that the wind is blowing, the rain is failling, and there are consequences for people and structures. We know that already because it is a "hurricane" and now a "tropical storm."
I feel bad n paticular for the rookie correspondents, especially the women, who seem to get a hazing when they move up from lesser jobs to a gig at a national network. They seem to be the onces sent out to get soaked, blown, and used as a rag doll to illustrate the...
