Obama Bulls

posted by on November 4 at 12:48 PM

The story:

Barack Obama’s Kenyan family to celebrate by slaughtering bulls, chicken and goats. Times reporter attends the Obama family victory feast in the village of Kogelo, Kenya, and brings along a live goat.

The best passage in that story:

“The reason we are here is that we are looking forward to a great day to celebrate,” he said, rubbishing any suggestion that Mr McCain might win. “We are not considering that possibility. I am not,” he said confidently, as a cock crowed in the shade of a mango tree.

These stories carry such veiled contempt for the primitive Africans. But my family in rural Nevada slaughters pigs and chickens when we're having a party. We'd slaughter the cow also, except we've already sent a cow to the butcher and we've got the parts in the freezer.

If my cat doesn't stop meowing for an early dinner, I'm taking her to that Obama party.

My relatives in Illinois will routinely roast a pig on a spit for big parties like high school graduations or weddings.
