The main political news out of the Colombian Presidential race today (correction: this came out last Friday and I've just found out how long I've had my head in the sand) is that current second in the polls and evermore likely runoff contender Antanas Mockus admitted during a radio interview that he has been diagnosed with the onset (or early stage, i'm not a doctor and don't know the best term in English) of Parkinson's. The link to Mockus's recorded words on the radio show is on this link.
However, both he and his medics have made it very clear that the early nature of the disease means that he wouldn't be affected during his term of office in any way that might diminish his performance as President. So right now in Colombia the population is on the same learning curve about Parkinson's that N.America went through thanks to that Back To The Future dude. This is a good thing.
