Dear Carnivale, Indeed day do now call Dade county Miami-Dade county! Wow! I'm sure it's changed a lot since then. Fortunately, I live in the county only, not in the city. I live on a beautiful! island in Biscayne bay from whose vantage point it all looks (I did say Looks!) so wonderful. From the balcony full of tomato (e-less, Dan!) plants, gardenias, purslane, prayer plants, tropical cannas, ad infinitem, I just say "NO", (thanks, Nancy), to the madness that beckons from the west! Madness is right on! Wednesday night at 8:10, I was fired from a job at a top-ranked hotel in downtown Miami. Rank is pivotal word here. Reason: too much whistle blowing, of course! The reader knows me by now. I had been helping with the hotel's guest victims' problems caused by the criminal elmenent: the staff, administration & owners. They're all foreigners and strident anti-Americans. Mind you, I have nothing against law-abiding, constitution-understanding, equal rights-respecting foreigners. In fact, from the gazillion docs I've seen, I'm related to some! But these ones go too far! Americans don't have to go out of the country to be abused. They can enjoy said experience right here in Miami, the one in Miami-Dade County!! The Americans they especially hate and constantly stick it to are the non-Spanish speaking ones. Boy do they go away stucked!!! Their scam is very well done & it produces beaucoup $$$$. They've got 150 rooms, minus 1 suite where the a-- hole AWAB owner from Chelsea, London, England, orchestrates his sado-masochistic bad & gettin' badder business practices. Their prime victims are older, gentler Americans who won't make a scene & who will run away with their tails between their legs. The owner won't mess with the cruise line groups cuz he knows they'll blacklist him in a NY nanominute! What's the scam? Orders are at the reception front desk, that when occupancy reaches 85% to just say NO! to all cheap reservations, even though they were reserved, paid, confirmed & reconfirmed! Why because they can bait & switch that room which they rented for $89 and miraculously (no pun intended for those of religious beliefs) into a wahpping (sorry, Italians, that one was a Neronian slip!) $189. "Sorry, but we don't have any paperwork on your reservation or payment. We never recieved it." Where do day put all the elderly American couples? Where else in the Swappiest hotel in all of greater (or lesser) downtown Miami, the Everglades located 8 blocks away on Biscayne blvd. We are further ordered that, since these poor USA Yanks or Rebels aren't and never have technically been our guests, they cannot use our courtesy (or is it discourtesy) phone to call for help!! Talk about revisionism!! This takes the boat! Do you have any idea how humiliated, embarrased, shamed I was to have to explain & smooth over the owner's decision to all those retirees from OH, PA, MI, MA. Now if the victims were younger & could possibly raise the roof, the staff was ordered to feign a double-take with the company line: "Okay, let me check in the back office! Oh, yes, here's your reservation, right here! Sorry, for the mixup." I went to the Miami Police about this 'issue' yesterday & I was told that it wasn't within their jurisdiction. If the reader can direct me to a forum (sorry, another Neronian slip) from which this info can be broadcast, I and, I suspect, many other Americans would be most appreciative. Welcome to Miami?

Dear Everybody! The US Consulate & Embassy in Miami has just posted a travel advisory warning to & for all US citizens not to travel to the following 3rd world country: Miami! Remember? Eisenhower declared it was to be shared with Cuba in 1959, but the bums kept it after 1 Jan 1959! The rest was cut to smithereens & parcelled out to Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, Honduras, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, definitely ad infinitem, on or about the year 1990. Wuh happen to de pepo from Eucador, Costa Rica, Belize, El Salvador, Mexico, Guyana? I donno! I gotta nuf twuable avoiding being stepped on (litterally & figuratively) by de utters both in the street & at the jobsite! Please remember that the only mafia in town is still the Italian or Asian one. (I cite or incite the FBI home page for North Miami, donno witch) The decision the US consulate in Miami was based upon my allegations of terrorism against American Tourists. Please promulgate (spread?) the above info asap! Please be advised that, due to the high awareness level here based upon the concept of politcal correctness (read:politcal corruptness), I can't divulge the name of the government! Thanks for the phone calls dough, although people should stop asking for the name of the hotel! I can't give it out because I've reported what's been going on to the US attorney. (yes, they are still permitted to maintain offices here!) Well actually, I reported it by phone & fax to US territory north of here in FT Lauderdale. In fact the US attorney was just on TV. We are still permitted to recieve US TV signals, at least as of today! If phone lines are cut to the US, I will most definitely be up the creek without a paddle to beam-up! Please contact your US representative & senator now (as we speak?) & ask him/her to boycott Miami & Miami-Dade County. If s/he doesn't know where it is, tell him/her to check the map. It's the fungus stuck onto the south end of Florida! Thanks & please stop asking the name of the hotel because that'll mess up the investigation!! duh! The big ones is involved as we speak, so let's stop speakin' about the hotel name &address, otay?
