Corruption in all its glory
In case you missed it: Our president is on a crusade for respect, peace and justice in our tiny nation and of course he can't use criticism from other rich people who just stand on the sidelines and do nothing. Like I. Roberto Eisenmann.
One can always count on Giordano to deliver those who lost their livelihoods or their lives, or family members, another kick in the balls. Smearing a filmmaker who lost his life, chastising a man who lost his wife for not being emotional enough when he gives a speech - there's really no depth to which he won't sink.
Ricky and Raul call the Italian embassy: "things have changed, Ricky, Berlusconi is gone, Valter is on the run, I can't help you, and don't call again. It's not safe. It's each on his own now, ciao".
The lanchas typically used by drug traffickers are invisible for radar. Not only is this whole radar deal mired in corruption, it's also a completely unnecessary purchase costing Panamanian taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
Martinelli's government of business people put its IT arm at work and launched a really bad attack video and a malware email campaign.
According to Mauro Zuñiga, Martinelli plans to privatize the Social Security, pardon Noriega and use the controversy as cover for an even bigger scandal with Italy than the radar and helicopter bribery.
Hello gringo government! You thought Noriega was bad, turning the country into a branch office of the narco cartels? Think again! Our own Maximo Leader, Ricardo Martinelli, is making Panama a stronghold of the Panamanian-Italian mafia, Canal included!
Don Winner breathlessly reports what anyone with half a brain has already known for five years at least: The Canal expansion project is a disaster.
Angelica Maytín of Bribery International just presented the annual Cost of Business Index, but the real news is that despite all the hype no progress has been made in poverty reduction, at all.
Your Bananama Republic is forced to report from Changuinola, of all places, because our government doesn't pay its bills!
