Apparently What's Good For The Goose Isn't Good For The Gander.

Apparently what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander.

Why do conservatives complain about the price of gas and groceries?

If you don't like the price of gas and groceries, just stop buying gas and groceries.

What's that? That's horrible advice?

Well, that's the exact advice you've been giving to other struggling people since the beginning of time. You've been nonchalantly defending the free market whenever it was harmful to others. You convinced yourself that those who are struggling deserve it until you became one. Then, you suddenly decided that it must be some deep state conspiracy instead of accepting that what's happening to you is exactly what you dismissed when it was happening to others.

Isn't this the whole point of Reaganomics? You know, pauperization of the majority by trickle down?

Meme Worthy.

A meme that speaks volumes. It also answers all those shoddy people who love to ask, "Yeah, but what's the solution is there a magic wand?" Ah, maybe try not to elect or to keep re-electing liars, thieves, or do-nothing politicians. Yeah, maybe that.

October 1st 2024. Nairobi, Kenya.

The type of overzealous police who should be arresting the actual criminals who sit in parliament instead of harassing those who protest against impunity.

ODM Party.

An ODM throng massed in their signature orange colours. Nairobi's Uhuru Park /Freedom Park.

It's common knowledge that Kenya's opposition parties are short term affairs, constructed mainly for the expediency of sponsoring electoral candidates for the presidency. Historically however, some opposition parties have beaten the odds of short-termism and lasted longer than others.

Take ODM for instance. ODM are a reconfiguration of an umbrella grouping called FORD or the Forum for the Restoration of Democracy. And FORD was an outfit that mid-wifed multipartyism in Kenya before splintering into several opposition parties such as FORD-Kenya, FORD-Asili, FORD-People, and of course eventually movements such as the ODM who styled themselves as agitators for constitutional reform.

But whatever their claims to reformist militantism, ODM's detractors often accuse the party of being a cult of personality that's built around one man. Party members are perceived not as ideologues, but as stone throwing protesters who engage riot police in running battles whenever their man Raila Odinga loses yet another contest for the presidency.

Some political analysts have even speculated that were ODM to ascend to power, they'd be every bit dictatorial as those whom they condemn. In fact, so far ODM haven't been above the opportunism of eating with government whenever it suits.

Nevertheless where Kenyans who aren't willing to fight for anything are liable to sponge off the political gains that others fight for, one cannot fault ODM for lacking in appetite for a fight when it comes to realizing their long held dream of acquiring Kenya's presidency.

Sports history.

Sunday October 13 2024.

Subject to the usual ratification procedures of course. This is the first time in the history of the 42.195km that a woman has broken the 2hr 10 minute barrier.

And similar to other female marathon WR holders of the past such as Tigist Assefa or even Tegla Loroupe, the new WR holder presumptive was paced by a male runner throughout her run on Sunday.

Moreover, physiologically speaking it makes perfect sense that female marathon runners as compared to female sprinters are edging ever closer to running so called male times.
