Bad Cop Bad Cop

One of the best ways for a cop to go under cover is to drive a cab. It’s true. I’m not under cover though so I can talk about a country with one of the world’s worst police forces, Kenya. The government is doing something about it, though. They have replaced almost all of the country’s senior police officers, including Major General Hussein Ali, the ex-police commissioner. He has been moved to the post office. Kenyans will feel safer now, unless they are expecting a cheque in the mail.

Teachers Expect Bad Things from Crystal

When I was in school, the nuns spotted trouble in a name, but it was the last name; the family name. Now, according to a UK poll, teachers look to first names to predict trouble. Kids named Connor, Brandon, Chelsea, Casey or Crystal get the bad brand. Good names are Adam, Edward, Christopher, Benjamin, Charlotte, Emma, Hannah and Rebecca. I know it’s not scientific, just an observation, but I went to school with Rebecca. She was not that good.


She Must be a She

South African runner Caster Semenya has taken part in a makeover in South Africa’s You magazine, partly to counter claims she is really a man. The 800-metre world champion wore a number of dresses for the photo shoot including a cocktail dress worn with stilettos. No guy could walk in those!
