At the Times, it is house style to refer to a successful Presidential nominee by his full name in the lead of the main story the morning after the election. He may be Bill or Jimmy on his campaign posters, but in the newspaper of record on that one momentous occasion he is William Jefferson or James Earl, Jr. So say it loud and say it proud: Barack Hussein Obama, President-elect of the United States. Of the United States of America, as he himself liked to say on the stump—always, it seemed, with a touch of awe at the grandeur and improbability of it all. New Yorker.

Congrats to Cara! It all seems but certain that Cara will be a president for the womenfolk! Raggii xiin bay la qaxeen !

^lol. Wax waalan. welcome back adeer.

^^Bisinka. Only Odey-biiq would accept a VP post under Cara's leadership. I am Wiil-waal kind of man, and NOT the Odey-biiq tpye yaa Val!

It’s quite sad to watch how Kashafa easily impeachs good sheikhs integrity based on pure hearsay. More tragic is his argument (ha la isdilo). The man has simply succumbed and surrendered to the demands of his lowly soul---anger. Sharif, and certainly the approach he took, is above what my late old man used to call ‘bacoola gurasho’! The man has a mission and he is leading. The premise of his argument is Somalis are Muslims. The fight between them is a fitnah. Tanaazul is the only way out. What is kashafa's? Lest he does not realize what he's writing, anigu aan u dhehee I dhegeysta: This is what Kashafa is saying, folks: In his maskaxdiisa shiddeysan, there are two groups. No third group. 1- Mujaahidiin.==alshabaab. 2- **********s ==the rest. Kashafa, walaalkeen dhibban, supports alshabaab because they are Muslims and calal xaq. Implicit in his argument is that save from alshabaab, the rest of Somalis are gaalo and dhiigoodu waa bannaan yahay. Biyyo uma kabbanayyo inuu Shariifka qudhiisa dilkiisa taageero. That is the caqliyyada Kashafa! Today, Kismayo News fed him a red meat...waa kan ee bal adigu si dheh! Allow kuu naxariiso! One more reason the caravan will succeed is the irrationality of those who oppose its arrival.

^^Wax isku fal=sida isku dhaan! I told you to ask someone before jumping the gun! You wanna an answer from us, Kashka. Xassan Turk kow dheh. Kismayyo News labo dheh. Adiga sadex dheh. Ilaahay ha adiin danbi dhaafo! Aamiin dheh waryee!

^^Wax isku fal adeer. Oh I forgot: ask aabe what 'wax isku fal' means before aadan wax isku falin! Remind us again what you want us to debate about! Sharif's character?

^^I couldn't have said it better ya Baashi! Kashafa, adeer weli ma maraykan kaad ragga ka dagaal gelineysaa Ilaah baa caqliga bixiyya...

Cara waa Arraweelo. Ilaah xukun nooguma dhiibo! I thought the era of Odey-Biiqey was behind us.

Time! But I said i agreed with the ten points. Al Islah has a political maturity that other Islamic movements in somalia dont! Especially this time, when the sahwah (I mean the old Itihaad) that went through hardships after hardships is risking being reduced to a angry group. Of course Al Islah has thier limitations. They do not for instance have a broader base within the Dacwah in Somalia. But the fact that they spelled out these 10 point nuggets as the road map is a great thing. As you probably know though the debate has already started within the elders of the salafi movement as to how to address the issue of al shabaab and the like. But over all I think what the paper Liqaye posted espoused is more or less what I would like to subscribe.

add about 7 hours...

Nuune waagaan regooraha ciyaalka miijiska lacagta ka shabinjirey xagge jirtay saaxiib. I even blv inaan MMA lacag ka dishay though he was a lot younger than i was!

^^Nimankan waa iska tagaayyaan haddii amxaaraddu baxdo. blv me somalia is no freind for extremism. Waxaan waa la abbuuray adeer, bii'o naxariis darro ah aa meesha ka jirta. Imagine the C130s and Ethiopian tanks and the killing and maiming that has gone on last 2 yrs. Haddi waxaan alla naga saaro, barbaarta gabdhaan u guurinaynaa .

Good for you. I figured voting in the morning is much easier than voting in the evining...so I too did vote!

^^Adna ma baqday? Allow Alle!

Waryee Geelka, ma codeysay? If you didn't, go and vote Barak!

Kashifaada jooji waryee
