I've been really busy with work and just realized it's been a month since
I've updated my blog. Aack! Sorry. I'm on Facebook fairly regularly, if you
are interested, and find it easier to share articles and such through that
venue. Hillary Clinton's visit produced a flurry coverage of the Congo, some
of it good (Christian Science Monitor & NY Times), some of it not so good. I
heard a rumour that in the US most of the attention was paid to her snippy
response to the arrogant student who wanted to know Bill Clinton's thoughts.
Over here we didn't even hear the whole story. It amazes me how Americans
can expend so much energy on stupid trivia rather than getting the point.
But maybe that's intentional.
The other rumour I heard was that there were Town Hall meetings about Health
Care where actual fights broke out. Is this really true? Have Americans
completely lost their marbles?
I am certainly glad I don't live there, President Obama notwithstanding.
