...Kabila had no political base, of course, outside of his home region in the far-off southeast, and his autocratic ineptitude and shameless cronyism did little to endear him to the residents of the capital, who saw him as a Rwandan imposition on a country that might have had its own ideas on alternatives to Mobutu. Kabila's failure to stamp out the Hutu insurgency exasperated the Rwandans, and his leadership style fomented widespread resentment in the ranks of those who'd fought in the rebel armies of the east. When Kabila switched his support to the Hutu groups...
...whites do not appoint black leaders. If they did, Colin Powell or some other outstanding African American would have the title. Jesse Jackson - a shameless hypemeister, a genius of self-promotion with a talent for survival and a gift for grifting silly old whitey - stays in business because of a complex racial physics dictating that his viability as a black spokesman/agitator stands in direct proportion to the extent he succeeds in infuriating white folks and, from time to time, shaking them down.

Magazine to publish the official wedding photos...
...www.mariahcarey.org. Unabashedly shameful and shameless. Indulge yourself in Mariah screensavers, a 24/7 Mariah radio station, a gratuitous Q&A page with the most trivial info bytes (it lists Mariah's height as 5'10". I don't think so), and my personal favorite-Mariah video games! You can piece together a skimpy Mariah puzzle, play hangman with Mariah's lyrics, or play Mariah concentration (the game header reads, "It's easy to play because you get to concentrate on Mariah!"). While surfing through this nightmare of a site, I'm still thinking that the same people who buy Mariah Carey...
