These people are just schmucks. Really. And that’s not just passion talking. How can a 220 member parliament perpetually have a quorum problem? And on the one day they (mostly) attend, budget day, most can be spotted rattling the rafters with their snoring and dribbling drool throughout the speech, only to be seen later at the garden party aggressively chasing free biscuits and then waxing lyrical from the same canned speech: “Uh, it was a fairly good speech {munch munch}. The minister touched on most of the core issues affecting the common {munch} man” [...] [...] When I look at the Kenyan MP it is generally with a powerful urge to smack said MP’s fat head.

(direct plagiarism from you:) Have you thought of gathering the best of these into print--I mean on paper-- and and having a collected volume published--again on paper, I am forced to keep saying? You know like your "hall of famers" only more of them. They would sell faster than stones at a Kenyan football match. Seriously.. think about it. This seems to be the age of Kenyans getting published, no? You are at least as good as the top three writers we have (who also keep winning Caines prizes and so forth), so why deny the non-internet world your gems? Would any bloggers out there who agree with me please second and third this motion? If you didn't want the money you cuold always give it away, or use it for other noble ends. But there is something tactile and special about actual pages that you can hold that isn't quite the same as reading blogs...I would probably buy out the whole first edition myself. Sorry to go on at you. M,
