Yes, there is a black president now:
But that doesn't mean crazy people won't stop being crazy! Travis Kavulla at the Corner:
It must be the first time one country has celebrated the election of
another country's president with a day off. But that is just what has
happened here in Kenya, where President Mwai Kibaki, with all the
caprice of an African leader, has declared today a public holiday in
honor of Barack Obama, whose father was Kenyan. Work is at a
standstill, banks are closed, as are all government offices and most
shops. (Ironically, Kibaki's 2007 campaign slogan was 'kazi iendelee' —
let the work continue.) Bars, however, are open and people are still
hawking Obama paraphernalia and stars-and-stripes apparel. And then
there are the glue-sniffing street children, who continue to beg. Sad
that the first concrete effect of an Obama presidency on Kenya would be
to further depress the productivity of a country that could really use
a booster shot in that department.
Hilarious.
hilarious is right.
