Former US President Bill Clinton has said that improving health services is the main challenge to fighting HIV/Aids in Africa, not a lack of money.
In a BBC interview, Mr Clinton said his foundation had therefore been focusing more and more on cost-effective ways to improve national health systems.
He also said encouraging monogamy should be an important part of the fight against HIV/Aids.
OK, so, you know how a lot of times on the blog here I'll cut and paste some stuff from a news article, then I'll make up some sort of quote or something at the end, something that would have been incredibly ironically funny to have had come out of the person's mouth?
I didn't do that this time. I swear. He really said that.
Crap. I know none of you are gonna believe me. I might as well go to bed.

I believe you, drugmonkey. You've never been wrong yet.
Isn't it obvious that the only way to stop disease and malnutrition in Africa is to focus on BIRTH CONTROL? I believe I read each female TEEN averages up to 8 kids.
Was Monica with him when he said that? Maybe he should discuss the virtues of cigars over traditional HIV spreading sex.
I swear, the bypass really took a bite out of his IQ.
Somewhere, Obama is wincing....
"The first track and field medal awarded Saturday went to Valeriy Borchin of Russia in the men's 20-kilometer walk. He won by finishing in 1 hour, 19 minutes, 1 second -- 14 seconds ahead of 1996 gold medalist Jefferson Perez of Ecuador. Jared Tallent of Australia won the bronze.
Perez collapsed shortly after the race ended and was taken away on a stretcher. After medical attention for dehydration, he was back on his feet."
This has nothing to do with your post...but holy shit...someone collapsed after and hour WALK in the OLYMPICS?!?!?!?!

Jake,
The guy WALKED 12 miles in less than 80 minutes. I know nothing about you, but I'm guessing you can't run 12 miles in the same amount of time.
But......why didn't the guy who walked 12 miles just run? Wouldn't that have saved a lot of time?
Well if he would have run then he would have been disqualified and not won anything. This way he wins a silver medal. I mean it's obviously a career since this is his 4th Olympics so you don't expect him to make a rookie mistake. I love the breathless tone of this article.

Personally, I'm with Bob Costas, who once said something to the effect of "having a contest to see who can walk the fastest is like having one to see who can whisper the loudest"
Just move as fast as you can dammit.
In other Olympic news, Tyson Homosexual failed to qualify for the 100 meter finals, an injured hamstring having caused him to miss 6 weeks of training. This underscores the importance of good hamstring care for homosexuals everywhere.

Wow that last bit came together nicely for you, didn't it?
I beleive you Drugmonkey, but then again I actually heard that [art of the interview. To be fair though, the reporter from the BBC asked him if he thought monogamy was important and he said sure and then tried to go pack to protection. It was still hilarious.
