Kathleen and I are taking a little trip to Miami and a cruise to the Bahamas. You can follow along on Twitter (@jerrybrito & @kathleenohearn) and on Flickr where I’m tagging trip photos with “0508“. Wish us well!

I’d love to know who was the Romney speech writer responsible for this hilarity. According to the Miami Herald:

People chuckled when presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a Mormon raised in Michigan and elected in Massachusetts, bungled the names of Cuban-American politicians during a recent speech in Miami. But when he mistakenly associated Fidel Castro’s trademark speech-ending slogan — Patria o muerte, venceremos! — with a free Cuba, listeners didn’t laugh. They winced. Castro has closed his speeches with the phrase — in English, ”Fatherland or death, we shall overcome” — for decades.

You have no idea how bad that is. That’s Castro’s trademark phrase. Like Mr. T’s “I pity the fool,” or He-Man’s “By the power of Greyskull!”

Castro (maybe) dead

Babalú Blog is reporting rumors that Castro might be dead and that an official announcement may be in the offing soon. I only hope they can hold off until I’m in Miami next week. The city will be one giant party.
