Gringo Gazette Gaffe


On the front page of the latest edition of the Gazette, a story about the infamous teachers strike is accompanied by a photo and caption. A reference to the president of Mexico has misspelled his name calling him, Felipe Calderone. I guess the editor believes him to be Italian.
What a proud moment for expatriot journalism. That page is destined to be wrapped around a big ol' Mackerel, at least.

I don't know how to cut 'n paste or I would have. Sorry.

Send them to me. Mackerel deserves a better shroud. I use them under the litter box, Tosca is very old now and sometimes her aim ain't what it used to be.

They also fit perfectly in the bottom of Gracie's birdcage, as well as make good fireplace or BBQ starters.

Im sure that you would lose track trying to catch the misspells as well as trying to find the middle and end of any article that caught your attention.

Dennis Would rather wrap my Mackerel in foil with various seasonings under low heat.:D Any contact with newspaper of any variety could very likely ruin a good meal.:D
