Ugandans learned their ABCs before other Africans. That's ABC as in Abstinence, Being faithful and using a Condom. The east African nation was at the center of the aids pandemic when it began in the 1980s - and was the first African country to fight the disease seriously. The ABC approach has helped cut the hiv rate in adults from more than 15% in 1990 to just under 7% today. Has the Ugandan government now forgotten its alphabet?

...oddly terse; his litany of aid meaningless without context. Sending five million military MRE meals sounded impressive until you realized there may be a million American refugees at this point. Does that mean we're only handing out five meals per person? And his interview with Diane Sawyer of ABC News seemed weirdly out of touch. His smirk came back; he stumbled into jargon like SPRo, the nickname for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and said things that seemed patently out of touch, including the now-infamous remark that no one could have foreseen the levee breaking.
