Payable in Livestock

posted by on February 29 at 13:38 PM

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan elders may impose a fine on U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, payable in livestock, after a photo of her rival Barack Obama in robes dragged their people into the race for the White House.

The picture, which appeared on a U.S. Web site, showed the Illinois senator in a white headdress and traditional Somali attire during a 2006 visit to Wajir in Kenya’s remote northeast.

Goats are preferable, though cows would probably be okay. Chickens are just insulting.

The futures in cattle.

According to the article, goats and camels would be considered acceptible alternatives to cattle.

Now somebody in the Clinton campaign just needs to determine the exchange rate of goats to camels to cows...

I hear commodities prices are climbing - sure hope Hils bought some cattle futures.

I don't see why they should fuck off. Their traditional attire has been characterized as clothing for terrorists. Sure it's silly that they've decided to fine Hillary, they should go after the right-wing media hacks.

Go Kenyans, get yourselves some cows! (Just make sure they aren't downers)
