- Chavez pays SUNTRACS says the government. Chavez doesn't pay SUNTRACS, says the government. Chavez pays perridistas, says El Siglo. Chavez doesn't pay perredistas, says the government;

- FARC attacks police. Police captures FARC. FARC threatens to kidnap politicians. Government stays mute;

- Panamanian government and representative in UN Security Council still trying to find out where this place "Kosovo" actually is;

- Perredistas rolling over each other fighting in internal elections. Screaming matches between Balabina and El Toro;

- Before Inter American Court for Human Rights in the Portugal case, lawyer for Panama first thinks he's in one of his domestic kangaroo courts and is taught a lesson in International Law for Dummies by the presiding judge, then it turns out that the State never paid a special judge for the case, then it turns out that although they claim the State paid for a DNA test that test was in fact paid for privately because the State refused to pay any other lab than that where Sossa had a personal interest;

- Admiral Traad, the drug trafficking former head of Panama's maritime service, is released by a judge with Supreme Court aspirations;

- Somehow CUSA, a construction company in which the Aleman Zubieta family has interests, has obtained a contract from the Canal headed by Aleman Zubieta to clean up 2.3% of the area where the gringos left all kind of unexploded bombs behind;

- Round two, or three, or four in the fight of one man against the advertising cartel that destroyed his independent ratings business.

Looking forward to next week!
