http://twitter.com/Narco_News

If you want to follow the Honduras coup news.....

Also there are elections in Mexico July 5th. NN will be twittering that too. Very important to follow since the last election in 2006 was stolen by Calderon.

2. Not much is coming out of Honduras as yet

and I found much better information in the Mexican newspapers, along with pictures of considerable resistance like streets blocked with burning tires and other such nuisances.

I hope the right wing, pasty faced colonial oligarchs have jumped the shark this time. By all reports, they ousted a sensible moderate.

This will be very interesting to watch. Again, the US needs to butt out except to condemn the military and possibly pull out diplomats until the dust settles.

5. Yes, I've been following it with others

Still, the best stuff is in the Mexican papers.

My Spanish still sucks, but it's not hard to get the gist.

4. Greg Grandin on Fordlandia, Honduras, and Uribe's Visit to Washington

This might be of interest too. More general but he does touch on Honduras at the end. The book alone is worth checking out.
