Bizarre, troubling suds tsunami in Nairobi, Kenya
By Jess Zimmerman
Its not totally clear what caused these mountains of foamy buildup on a Nairobi creek, but Nature Conservancy scientist M. Sanjayan, who observed the phenomenon, suspects a combination of fertilizer runoff, sanitation waste, industrial effluent, and detergent. In short, its even grosser than it looks, by kind of a long shot.
This creek, Sanjayan writes, travels not only through a nature preserve but also through a slum where tens of thousands depend on it for water. But without more funding for the government to keep businesses in line with clean water laws, all its good for is doing a very, very disgusting bathtime Santa Claus impression.

Chickenhawk draft-and-tax dodging Republican propaganda pimps are spewing these BuBBles O' Bullshit in KENYA (surprise, surprise) to distract attention from the emerging fact that all their bloviating about Benghazi is absolute full-on intentional lying bullshit. As usual.
