eric jackson doesn’t use a blog format but his site is a good one. he works hard. nice photos

if you can read and write in spanish, panama america is a news site that allows for comments. public officials get shredded to pieces on that site.

I have zombies. I do walks with them.

You think that is a great thing, but it isn’t.

See, everybody knows that our precious country is governed submarine-style. Dive deep in case of trouble, make no noise, speak no word and don’t make any waves. This, in short is the Torrijos philosophy of how to run a country. It doesn’t matter that nothing ever gets done and a couple of madmen have taken over the torpedo room; on the long haul the strategy keeps Torrijos safe and out of trouble he can’t handle – which is ALL trouble.

This, now, prompted aforementioned Latin Business Chronicle to festively declare Torrijos “Latin American Leader of the Year” a couple of years ago. After that, other leaders, businessmen and business media outlets have obviously actively sought to be excluded from any shortlist to be nominated whatever of the year by the publication. It’s difficult enough as it is to do business in this region without the guilt-by-association that any type of nomination would inevitably incur.

Unfortunately, Sam has been unable to escape that ugly faith, and in the spirit of solidarity in the Panamanian blogosphere I would suggest we include him in this list here in what would be at least an attempt to offset any damage done to him.

The Panama News is good, but it’s not a blog. It’s an online newspaper.

If you look at what a blog really is (meaning opinions on a subject, or an online diary of original content) I think this list is pretty darn accurate. I’d also submit food gone wild at http://www.heidibella.com and Cojito’s hilarious sex blog http://www.thepanamapages.com

IMHO, Bud
