Alegron de burro

Here's an article in today's La Prensa about what keeps us all interested in and wondering about Nica politics:

It's amazing to me how the political winds shift on a daily basis. For anyone interested in politics, history, sociology, economics and current events, Nicaragua is the jackpot in the Americas.

BTW, alegron de burro, roughly translates to getting someone's hopes up about nothing. In this case I think it's a good thing that Aleman in back under house arrest and probably should ultimately be back in El Modelo for the duration of his 20 year sentence. But that may never be given the ever changing political climate in Nicalandia.
