Obamania in Kenya:

This NYT op-ed was interesting, though it must be heart-breaking to believe that there is no bright future possible for children staying in their country. And when the people who have the best shot at this future leave to go elsewhere, well, it's brain drain on a national scale.

On a lighter note, I made the pork tenderloin that's been in my freezer for the last six months. It's pretty good, if a little overcooked. It was exciting to cook something so real. Mmm, real food.
