A friend sent me a link to this video, in which two jovial CNN reporters discuss Senator Beer’s amusing new nickname: Obama.
I watched the clip twice, and I can’t help but wonder what Hillary’s beer would be. Tusker, methinks.
Also — they have keg beer in Kenya?
From Slate: Kenya’s Problems Aren’t Uniquely African: It’s not just “tribal enmity plus poverty equals violence.”
Uganda, Rwanda, Liberia, Somalia, Sudan, Sierra Leone—tribal enmity plus poverty equals violence. Kenya is another country evolving into a failed state. Doesn’t it prove, once again, that Africa is an exception to all the rules about global development, democratization, and “progress”?
Actually, it doesn’t. In fact, the closer one looks at Kenya, the less exceptional Africa seems. What was most striking to me about the recent violence in Kenya was not how much the country resembles Rwanda, but rather how much it resembles, say, Ukraine in 2004 or South Korea in the 1980s.

White African and Kenyan Pundit are presenting a new tool to chronicle the incidents of violence happening around Kenya. Check it out here: www.ushahidi.com. Ushahidi means witnessing in Kiswahili, and the website itself is quite and interesting way of using the Internet.
