I haven't really been posting about Kenya because it's depressing enough to read about it, let alone recap it. Suffice it to say that things are not better. You may have heard that China's government newspaper asserts that the Kenya situation proves that Africa is not ready for Western-style democracy and needs dictators to keep order. Project much?

Researchers at the University of Sheffield have learned that children don't like clowns, and some are afraid of them. This is news? The clowns, however, are in denial. I can't say that I found clowns scary as a child; I was mostly indifferent to them. Nowadays I simply don't trust them, and when I see them on the bus I keep my hand near my wallet.

I like the clowns at Cirque du Soleil. Does that make me a snob?

I like those sorts of clowns, too (if I'm looking at the right thing.) I like the clowns of Circus Flora, too (also a European style circus). It probably does make us snobs, but why does that matter? Actually, I think it just means we don't like American style Clowns.
