Getting over the Black Monday Blues

It has been a tough week (it's not over yet I know) and it has nothing to do with the market crash experienced and the panic that ensured. I have had a terrible flu-like problems got some medicine and tried to act tough but last night was the worst. Sometimes I try to ignore some of the issues going through my head - it can be tough.

Another thing is the violence in Kenya. Quite disturbing as it is and to add salt to injury everyone has an opinion however illogical and nonsensical. Don't you just hate it when one is simply adding fuel to the tribal violence? And even worse in the name of freedom of speech everyone suddenly is a political analyst - understandably it is due to the stress. So I've been reading accounts of people on the ground - nothing objective so purely a waste of precious time. None is ready to back down I sometimes think some of the bloggers were actually in the Electoral Commission hence the confidence with which they parade 'evidence'

So you know what has been occupying my time - rumours and even more rumours.

Ain't it funny this game of politics? Look at the American primary elections - suddenly the Democrats are coming out in their true colors. They are getting ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of success! It is now down to race conflict... the Republicans must be praying really hard! After nominating their candidate I suspect if not careful the party is going to be divided by the process. It is a win at all cost scenario AGAIN! I thought Kenya had the exclusive rights for that at the moment. Whichever side the leadership goes it will be hard to govern the country is just too polarised.

It is hard to ignore politics however hard one tries - it's life
