Kenya Update

It's gotten worse, and may continue to do so. Kibaki, the incumbent, has been declared the winner. 94 people are dead so far in the rioting. Live television coverage has been suspended. International observers are saying that Kibaki's totals have been inflated, and members of the country's election commission have seen irregularities. "In some areas, more people voted for the president than there were registered voters," is a telling quote.

WHAT?!!?! He's claiming to be the winner?

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

Of course, our president never won any of the elections he ran in, either. . . .

Well, the election officials have declared him the winner. But something's wonky regardless.

Also: nowadays I am working under the assumption that ours is a broken democracy.
