Fausta,
Thanks for keeping the interest in Jamaican political realities alive.
Thank you for your support, Dr Paul.
Re the Colorado Party in Paraguay. American friends living in Asuncion during the Stroessner years received a Christmas gift of a German Ahephard puppy, which got named El Gran Macho Colorado. Everyone was instructed to call the dog Macho, not wanting to spend time in jail.
Any way you cut it, gringo, that is some name for a dog!
