Letter From The President (XXVII): Trivial Tribalistic Balderdash

Countrymen and women, loyalists (from all tribes) and opponents (from all tribes),
I am in a very foul mood this week. My anger was sparked by recent tribalistic publications in the newspapers. Even though I love football, my anger has in no way been tempered by the Black Stars’ drubbing of Somalia. I know that many of you think that by beating the Somalis by a 5-0 margin the Black Stars are surely on their way to World Cup 2006. I will bet all of the per diem allowances I earned from my last trip to the US that the Black Stars will not qualify for the next World Cup in Germany. I am sorry, but I have no other way of putting it. I have gladly written off the current Black Stars team and I recommend that you do the same.
