Odds and ends

• A gay pride march in Havana didn’t get off the ground, as activists were detained in advance. McClatchy’s report says the event was “organized with Florida’s Unity Coalition” and did not have the approval of Mariela Castro’s organization.

• The blog of Rui Ferreira and Helena Poleo, both of the Nuevo Herald, is now Elblogaldia.com. And while you’ll have to go elsewhere to read about the intrigue regarding Los Miquis de Miami, it seems that anonymous, acerbic, informative blog has bitten the dust. Too bad.

• The LA Times’ sports blog on the Cuban national baseball team, ready for the Olympics.

• It’s not exactly the Lincoln-Douglas debates, but this video is part of how campaigning is done these days, in this case in the Miami-Dade Congressional races, from the Democratic perspective.
