'Food for thought'

ADAM: What’s wrong with macaroons?
KAREN: I can answer that so easily. Generally, macaroons have coconut in them, and are repulsive. So they are NOT to be trusted.
ADAM: It’s not their fault, they’re made that way.
KAREN: You could say that about anybody.
ADAM: You can’t distrust—
KAREN: You can say about anybody that who they become, that they’re a product of their experiences and environment, but that’s still who they are.
ADAM: That’s not a product of their experiences and environment, that’s their ingredients. That’s their DNA.
KAREN: Exactly, the same as people!
ADAM: No, it’s not the same as people at all. It’s not fair to say you can’t trust them ‘cause of who they are, or what they are.
KAREN: I’m just saying, that doesn’t change that you can’t trust them. Perhaps you can say, it’s not their fault that they were made that way, they didn’t choose to be made that way, but that’s still how they are.
ADAM: Well, you know, I tend to agree that I find macaroons disgusting. But I wouldn’t say they’re distrustful. I just don’t want to hang out with them.
KAREN: Do you know what? They are, because they look like they’ll be nice, but then you eat them and they’re disgusting. They’re dishonest.
ADAM: It’s not their fault. They don’t realize they are being dishonest. They just see themselves as quite an attractive, cakey biscuit. You need to give ‘em a break. You need to give macaroons a break. I’m not saying you should try them and like them. I’m just saying, you know what, leave them alone. They’ve got their own little corner of the bakery, no one’s bothering them, there are people who love them AND trust them. I think you just need to give ‘em a break.
KAREN: Sleep Talkin’ Man obviously understands what I’m talking about.
ADAM: Well, it may be because of the Republic of Bagel, that they’re, you know, the macaroons are starting to get a bit uppity and want their own independence. And that’s just gonna cause complete chaos.
KAREN: Oh, they can HAVE their independence.

Election 2013, Kim Kardashian Swimsuit, buy potent cheap Viagra, easy weightloss ways


The edit of the title is my (doomed) attempt to harvest more clicks from the wilds of the internet through the art called Search Engine Optimisation. Hope you'll get past that

It is often said that anybody who expresses an interest in running for office should automatically be disqualified from running for office, as the kind of person who wants to be in charge of everything should never, in any circumstances, be given access to the levers of power. The past recent months has witnessed banay-nay campaigns by the two horses top presidential contenders.

Now, I've got to be very careful about what I say here, as a few of the people who will read this in these circumstances could be most charitably described as "fanatics", while others are - at best - stark raving bonkers, and would write twenty page letters to blogspot (subsequently may be published in full) over the choice of what I write here.

We are all politicians (according to Socrates, is it?). We consume it like pizza ( or whatever snack eating proclivity you are in to), we debate, we tweet, we blog and then some. In this coming election, there are those who wanted to be in charge; those who had taken a good look at the people who want to be in charge, and ran very far away- Miguna ? Tony Gachoka ? though Tony just ran to a different camp; and those who watch from the sidelines because they are undecided
Some, like Boniface Mwangi, dunno what skunk that fella smokes on to give him an Italian mobster's cojones, talk of wishing the politicians some sort of terrible physical harm such as a hangnail or a bad haircut.


Same as Rachael Shebesh who said, "My DNA is TNA", my DNA is TNA and I have a (quite possibly framed) certificate to prove it.
 Despite my obvious political "allegiance", the stark truth is I probably never would have had the chance to write this if it weren’t for Raila Odinga and others—the gumption, and guts behind the reform agenda. Heck, the man was jailed for agitating for the aforementioned. In Moi's time I don't think folks like Ole Itumbi (& myself, no?) could write about politics on a blog. Thank you, chief for your contribution. As concerns CORD's manifesto? I can rest easy, he is NOT taking us the communist way.

 "Democracy is the worst form of government but we are yet to find a better one" or " The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter". by Winston Churchill.<<< so what's the solution, Mr Smarty pants, Churchill? ? The only way that this situation can be remedied  then is by appointing our leaders by lottery?? (although this gives us an unacceptable one-in-forty-million chance that I will end up as President), in which anybody who expresses desire for high profile appointments should prove their ambition through grooming my fur

Vote Wisely.
