Some more recent news from around the world: as reported by the BBC, the military coup in Fiji will not be holding elections.
This is a very depressing story, of course; however, Fosco can't really get past the fact that the coup leader's name is essentially Bananarama. Yes, that's right: Fiji is being ruled by Commodore Frank Bananarama. It's almost like we're living in a Pynchon novel. Also, I would recommend that the elected government of Singapore keep an eye on General Wilson Phillips. Just saying.
As for Fiji's future, I heard a rumour that this will be a cruel summer. However, several international celebrities have already spoken out in opposition to the coup, including Venus Williams. Additional celebrity support is imminent, although I've heard that Robert De Niro's Waiting.
Hey, if you ever wondered how the lyrics to "Venus" would be subtitled in Portuguese, well, you're in luck:
Por favor, divirta-se!
