...streets, the battle over Sandinista symbols has led to a kind of semiotic chaos in which the government and opposition groups use the same images to convey very different messages. The ruling party pays homage to national hero Rigoberto Lopez Perez, who assassinated former dictator Anastasio Somoza Garcia, but dissidents paint graffiti with the message "Rigoberto come back!" to underscore the strength of their disdain for the current president. While the government plasters the country with posters touting Ortega's fealty to Sandino, anti-government protesters wave signs proclaiming "Sandino would never have been a Danielista...
...arrests are significant. Lopez Pena, who went by the alias 'Thierry,' was "the person with most political and military weight in the group," said Spanish Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba at a press conference on Wednesday.

At least one Black Eyed Pea showed up, and the vicious gossip Perez Hilton wore his hair in a kind of comb-over pompadour...

Despite a former plan to just “have fun” and “be less antagonistic to the audience” during this performance, Wallach takes the stage with a vengeance. Attempting to sell his songs and win over the crowd using the same force of will and energy that landed him in front...
