Just like the kool-aide drinkers here, they’re expecting a check.

[Tarpon]

Donkeys, coming to America as the new renewable fuels vehicles.

Cue music from “Roots.” (Loved that mini-series, BTW)

What makes these people think Obama gives a rats a$$ about them? He cannot even vote Yes on the Born Alive Act....

[MAD-AS-HELL]

"Vote for Obama, or the goat gets it"

He had no hope of help from his rich American relative, until his rich American relative had the means to reach into my pocket and take the money from me.

Why the .... HECK is Africa always shown as poor, whining, begging, people with tons of kids? Why can’t they move forward? I’m just so sick of everything right now.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Showers of ‘cow urine’ for us, now.

Obama’s celebrity fans in Hollywood promise to adopt at least a villager each...
Streisand will take a whole family.

Kenyan relatives of U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) attend a media briefing in Nyangoma Kogelo village, 430 km west of Kenya's capital Nairobi, November 3, 2008. Nyangoma Kogelo is Obama's family's ancestral village.

I'll bet none of them thought to ask the relatives where he was born.

[Slump Tester]

What makes them think he'll give anymore of a $hit about them than he does his half brother living in the $12/year hut?

Speaking of the half brother, I wonder if Barack Hussein being president helps him with the village hotties?

[El Gato]

I take it this is the main entre for the feast?

Well, goat's OK if fixed properly. But I'd rather it had been Moose or Caribou.

Since he (the One) is 6th generation Irish, I hope his ancesteral village of Moneygall, Co.Offlay gets the same attention.
