Piss On That, Part IV

Are these people trying to script a telenovela? Seriously now! I can totally sell this to Univision-- [insert deep basso profoundo voice] Este Sabado! Amor! Guerra! Presidentes! Muerte! Traícion! Todos en... HONDURAS!

It'd totally rock, right?

Anyway-- the latest: 50 Zelaya supporters were arrested in a pre-dawn raid carried out under a new controversial (gasp!) law that suspended (at least temporarily) civil liberties. The Interim Government has indicated that it could be lifted soon (there are elections set for November 29th) and the head of the Armed Forces has urged a negotiated settlement to the crisis (read: we don't want none your silly civilian mess) and Congress has said if President Micheletti doesn't repeal his decree suspending civil liberties they will.

So despite a pretty dumb move it seems that common sense is still stalking the halls of government in Tegucigalpa. Tune in soon for more, because I'm sure something else crazy is gonna happen. Oh and for your viewing pleasure:



The man himself, Zelaya. Despite my distaste for this certified card-carrying member of the Latin American Loony Left, I have to admit: that's one kick-ass shitkicker of a hat.
