		<description><![CDATA[IRS agents are the last people I want to see in Panama, sipping my pipas (coconut water) on the beach. I had heard they were setting up an office in Panama City, so I guess they knew all along something big was coming. What a way to ruin a party! Here’s the news: Under threat [...]]]></description>
