Lots of action overnight in the SoFla blogosphere including a new blog. Here's your morning Sift...
***New Blog Alert***
The blog may be new but the blogger is not. Carlos Miller of Photography is not a crime fame, has a new blog called Magic City Mania. Carlos describes it as such...
Magic City Mania will consists mostly of personal stories growing up in Miami as well as personal reflections as I go about my day in this mad city.
Check it out.
A- Miami & Beyond has the latest Joe Garcia advertisement featuring Jim DeFede which babalu, speaking for the entire Cuban-American community in Miami, claims is going to lose him EVERY (that's in caps!) Cuban-American vote in Joe's district.
B- For his first post at Magic City Mania, Carlos tells us an interesting story about his father's love of Cuba and his own visit there years later.
C- Eye on Miami finds new ways to spell architect in Miami.
D- Some Cranky Guy wonders why people are drawn to Barack Obama.
E- Cuban Home Cooking bakes up some Natilla.
F- Incertus provides us with a post that gives new meaning to the hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers."
G- Greg Linch, the editor of UM's The Miami Hurricane, has finished serving his term. I'm thinking that the blog goes away, too?

Thanks for the link!
Re. A: that "Defede asked Alarcon softballs" is an old debate. babalu was wrong them and is wrong now. (Even 26 parallel admitted there were hard questions). The interview itself is deep in the bowels of the Herald, but I remember some questions and if asking Alarcon, among other things, why the regime murdered imocemts of the 13 de Marzo tugboat is a softball... please.
Look, the only acceptable interview for babalu would have been for Defede to pull out a gun and shoot Alarcon. I defy Babalu to produce one interview with anybody on the Castro regime that they have been satified with.
This is the same babalu that celebrated DeFede's firing almost as much as castro's non-death so there you go. A veritable bedrock of impartiality and clear-eyed perspective when it comes to DeFede's influence.
Note also that there's no discussion about what DeFede says, just his presence. Avoid the issue, demonize by proxy. It's the only thing they know how to do.
Thanks for the mention and the link. It's a personal blog, so I'll probably be posting more now that I have more time.
A - Jim Defede is a great journalist and his work alone has gained him great respect in the field, even after being fired from the Herald.
Defede will most likely continue providing excellent political analysis for SoFla for many years to come, and throughout the local media.
But, the Henry Gomez comment is typical of the hard-liner and Alex responds well to Gomez here and on his blog.
But, notice the comments left on Babalu by their prestigious historian Antonio de la Cova. He's still waiting to get a response from Defede even after insinuating that Defede was on the payroll of the Cuban government...

and on two occasions referring to Defede as "Jim DEFECES."

Even when a hard-liner gets a Ph.D., he still acts like a Henry Gomez.
