If that all sounds familiar, that's because we tried this in February with an internet poll system that was quickly hacked and stuffed with fake votes. So this time we have a foolproof plan (we think). We've set up a vote-by-text system that allows for only one vote per cell phone per category. That's, for example, one vote for Best Strip Club per phone.

This guy was unavailable in helping us figure out our voter irregularities.

​South Florida is the headquarters of the hanging chad, the originator of the butterfly ballot. So perhaps it should be no surprise that this year's New Times Readers' Poll appears to have been hacked.

How or why we're not sure, but it has become clear that the poll we made live on the internet ten days ago has fallen victim to some kind of, well, let's call it voter irregularities.

The problem first became clear last week, when John Todora called. He's the owner of Whiskey Tango, the joint in Hollywood that was winning in the Best Bar category. Winning is an understatement: More >>

​Just a few years ago, the web presence of New Times was the digital equivalent of a kid in a bowler hat yelling out the news next to the haberdashery.

Now, we've got a sweet new homepage, award-winning blogs, and apparently a smart phone app that rocks.

Sure, that sounds like we're using this space for some self promotion. And that's true. But our Best Of app has gotten some serious love from those who know about these kinds of things.

The app, just for some background, compiles all of the Best Of issues from New Times and its sister publications across the country. Open it in major cities across the country and it'll give you the best restaurants, bars, clubs, and everything else nearby.

His rookie counterparts -- Logan Morrison and Mike Stanton -- were fantastic playmakers as rookies but didn't have nearly the production that Sanchez did.

Joyce Kaufman -- Best Object of Political Hatred

​New Times Best of Broward-Palm Beach edition is here, folks.

Even as Gov. Rick Scott continues to go lower and lower in the ranks of sanity every week, Joyce Kaufman is still the area's number-one object of political hatred.

Kaufman, Rep. Allen West's former chief of staff, has been a consistent teller of blathering, near-sociopathic comments during her afternoon radio show on WFTL-AM (850).
