Just when I thought these two stories wouldn't go much further:

1) A third woman (this time named Hortensia) has stepped forward to claim that Paraguayan President (and former bishop) Fernando Lugo fathered a child with his. Add this to the two we reported before, and you've got the cast for a remake of Los Tres Chiflados. But no, there's more! Word is that there are at least three more Clerical Love Children to come. Admitting that there are some, well, jokes and hair-pulling inside the Lugo regime, Paraguay's Minister of Women, Gloria Rubín: "They say that more kids are going to turn up, five or six. Some say 16," she says. "And, well, if they do, we'll check them out, case by case."

2) For the third time this week (and at least the fifth since December), a military member/policeman accused of taking part in torture during the 1976-1983 dictatorship has committed suicide. This time it's La Pampa politician Eulises Guiñazú, 72.
