We heart Bananama Republic


The tag line at the top of Bananama Republic's page is 'Panama In All Its Glory' which neatly sums up this megablog. Since it revved back up recently BR has been nailing some hugely entertaining stuff, but none better than today's commentary on a big news story broken by Panama's daily 'Panamá Ámerica' in Spanish language.

It turns out that the new chief of police in the country was arrested on war crimes charges (not kidding...serious ones, too...unless taking US civilians hostage doesn't count as much these days) and then thrown out of the police force in disgrace in 1992. Read all about it at Bananama Republic's take on the juice, right here.
