#1 When has Somalia NOT been on the brink of famine?
Whenever it was over the brink and in full-fledged famine.

Correction of the day.

#2 It's been clearly demonstrated that providing food aid in a famine is the wrong thing. It just undermines local agriculture. Much better to fund day labor projects that pay a few dollars a day.

#3 The day is yet young --- nevertheless, I'm betting on #1 for snark of the day.

#4 I saw the dead troops being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu.

Fool me once...

#8 I would prefer the opposite: Somalia warns, UN on the brink of famine.

#9 If the Useless Nitwits were "on the brink of famine," #8 JFM, maybe Somalia wouldn't be.

#10 Move the United Nations to Somalia. Then perhaps they'd finally find something to pretend to be concerned about other than Israel.

#11 The place is overflowing with swine that the Muslims will not eat. Perhaps they can find away to drive the swine somewhere where they can sell them to someone who might eat them. Earn some currency and buy some food.
