Cheadle to Play Miles in Biopic

One of the illest actors playing the illest trumpter of all-time. This is a no brainer.

The Currency of Hope

Jomo Kenyatta

I have an acquaintance who is from Kenya. We speak almost daily on the current political unrest in Kenya. We talk about the beauty of Kenya's Great Rift Valley. We talk about the young Massai men who receive graduate school educations in the city only to return home to the countryside to raise cows in the very same manner their forefathers did. We talk about the Kissi, the Kikuyu, and the Kiambu district. We talk about Jomo Kenyatta, the Mau Mau, Mwai Kibaki. Please, during this time of unrest, say a prayer for Kenya.

since i'm so discontented
but that takes effort
and i don't want to exert anything
neither my energy nor my emotions
i've always prided myself
on being a child of the sixties
and we are all finished
so that makes being
nothing

Slaughterhouse Video Prompts Unprecedented Beef Recall

This undercover video of sick and crippled cows being brought to slaughter in an abattoir in southern California has prompted the largest recall of beef in US history, (writes Will Pavia).
The US Department of Agriculture yesterday ordered that 143 million lb of beef from the slaughterhouse be recalled. Officials estimate that some 37 million lbs of the recalled meat had been heading to schools across America though they fear that most of it will have already been eaten.
