My fav quote

In case you don’t already know, Nicaragua’s general elections will take place on November 5 so there is no shortage of political humor in Managua at this time. Every politician has a new promise and a catchy campaign slogan. My favourite slogan which has won the competition for my favourite quote of the week is the MRS presidential candidate El Mundo Jarquín’s campaign slogan: “Soy feo pero no ladrón”---I may be ugly but I’m not a thief…” "Vota por el Feo que quiere una Nicaragua linda---Vote for the ugly dude who wants a pretty nicaragua"
And yes, he is ugly. I guess its the kinda ugliness we just had to talk about. My interview with the head of his campaign management team headed by a Costa Rican comedian is forthcoming….
