    Did anyone see Rachel Stewart’s excellent article on the inevitability of the demise of rodeo?

    “So, we all know in our hearts that rodeo is wrong. But with Michael Laws speaking up for it, we now know it’s got to be even wrong-er than we originally thought.”

  2. Terrible stuff going down in the DRC.

    “Ethnic violence in western Democratic Republic of Congo led to the death of 890 people within three days last month, a UN report released late last night revealed.

    “Credible sources” claim clashes erupted between Banunu and Batende communities, while the source of the conflict is unclear.

    The UN report notes: “Some 465 houses and buildings were burned down or pillaged, including two primary schools, a health centre, a health post, a market, and the office of the Commission Electoral National Independante (CENI)”
