Although it’s not a holiday in Panama – Panama has TWO Independence Days (from Spain and from Columbia) in November – I’m going to take a blogging vacation today! Have a hot dog and beer for me, whilst I am having a brat and beer in Panama. [Berard makes brats that are every bit as good as Usinger's!]
And for all of you who think the US is going to hell . . .
The Dream Team for 2012 is taking shape! Sarah Palin has chosen the eve of July 4th to announce that she is retiring early as Governor of Alaska. We can’t be sure if her plans are to go on a shopping spree, run for President, or impersonate Tina Fey on “Saturday Night Live!” . . .one can’t be certain . . . or maybe just to travel a bit to enhance her foreign policy experience (“You can see Russia from Alaska!”) At any rate the Dream Team is starting to take shape . . .
VANITY FAIR did what her aides called a “hatchet job” on the future President, shown here with Cindy McCain, called, “It Came From Wasilla”
Then of course there is the “other candidate” . . . it’s unclear at this moment if the ticket would be Palin/Limbaugh, or Limbaugh/Palin. You think Obama vs. Hillary was good . . . just wait ’til you see this!
Cheers!

Richard, I enjoy your blog concerning life in and
around Panama. I’m considering retirement there. However the injection of your political
views is a bit much. I am a firm believer in Free
Speech etc,but this reminds me of the daily
“hate fest” rantings of Olberman/Maddow etc.
Just where should societies criminals be??????
Well, as we’ve all just discovered, many of the big criminals have been sitting in Wall Street and corporate offices! Yes, we do need prisons, hopefully to reform, redirect and rehabiliate (of course that costs money) where possible . . . and we need alternatives to prison. What’s wrong with our society when we lock more people up than anyplace else??
I don’t expect all readers to agree with me . . . hell, I don’t always agree with me . . . but it is my blog and that’s what blogging is about. Regards, Richard
