Weah-ry at last...

Some good news from Liberia. Everyone can take a nice deep breath and relax. Former Presidential Candidate and Soccer God George Weah has dropped his fraud claims in regards to their Presidential elections. This will allow Ellen Sirleaf-Johnson to become Africa's first elected female head of state without any potential conflicts hanging over her head.

I'm glad Weah dropped this, because quite frankly, he took it a little too far to begin with in my book. I'm all for ensuring free and fair elections- but the key sticking point on making peace in Liberia work is holding elections where the losers gracefully accept defeat. OK, so if you have evidence of real fraud, check it out. Run it through the wringer a couple of times. But it shouldn't have taken this long for him to concede- not that he is, per say, according to the article. He's just magnanimously letting Liberia get on with business.

Well, whatever. It's a good thing. One mountain climbed- I don't know how many more to go.

Oh, and Elton John got hitched.
