I found the New York Times Magazine article An Elephant Crackup? quite interesting. The piece draws an interesting connection between crazy elephants in Uganda and crazy rebel force humans in Uganda.

Given my recent postings about Democrats and Republicans, I figured this was a good time to re-visit my theory about the purposes of these two parties. I think I referred to these purposes in my earlier writings and predictions. But here it is:
Over the past century or so, the purpose of the Democrats has been [...]
