Words fail me, but Baldilocks is one of the people I admire most in the world, and we will, together—conservative, liberal, libertarian—find a way to help the school in Kenya that Obama forgot.

And the L.A. Weekly has the story. Yeah: you heard that right: the L.A. Weekly. I was not prepared to have the world come to an end today.

Juliette has never forgotten her roots. She is one of the brightest people I know, and one of the loveliest. Plus, she giggles in the nicest way when (despite having dated/lived with/married a "former" Marine) I mess up on military nomenclature.

And as far as money goes, it means wearing my hair long, shapeless, and in a ponytail for yet another year, I'll find a way to help Juliette reach her goal and help this Kenyan school out (no matter whom it is named after).

Stay posted. I'll get more info from Baldi, and we'll figure out how to kick this thing into high gear. Meantime, if you want to hit my PayPal jar for Juliette's charity, please send me a note so I'll know it goes to Kenyan education, rather than, um . . . gin.

I know Baldilocks: this project is not about shaming Barack Obama, but about taking care of something important that fell off his radar when he started running for President of this country. Taking care of Kenyans.

Are you an American worried about public schools here? Fine: hold a bake sale. But please send a portion of the money you make to Kenyan education, whether you are white, Indian, black, Asian, Native American, or merely (like me) ethnically confused.

Details later, boys and girls. Minimum donation is $20 for Juliette's charity. Send it directly to her, or to me (annotated, please! tagline: Kenya. I'll know.). If you want to send a check, mail it to her or to me (our addresses are findable, if you're clever--or just write me and I'll give you my mail-drop).
