Dvorak asked for some Brazilian news, here it is.
On one side is José Sarney, the ageing president of the Senate and former President of Brazil, who is mired in corruption allegations and clinging on to power. On the other is a rapidly growing campaign to oust him run by young, educated Brazilians using the internet to mobilise support.
Critics say that Mr Sarney is a symbol of an outdated, corrupt and autocratic system that modern Brazilians are trying to leave behind.
This is a story about our ex-president now president of the senate Jose Sarney (who failed 5 times in controlling hyper-inflation and once shut down all Brazil’s banks) having 13 charges against him behind dropped. These charges included moving about 600 thousand dollars from the gov’t to his foundation and for secretly employing members of his family.

There is a chaos on brazilian politics now, I`m back in brazil after 6 years living in California.
Brazil has corroption as every other country has it, but we are evolving rapdily without all the pressure that america put on herself to be the superpower we can try new ideas much more easily.
Politics is mess up, but what i think Dvorak wanted to show was that who is mobilizing this campain against Sarney is the young people not old folks fighting against eachother.
