Whew.

Turns out,
Sec. of State Hillary Clinton is taking the Somali thing as serious and life-threatening as the alleged Libya imminent danger thing afterall. She's sending Biden over to have a look-see, and probably a photo shoot.

Clinton said Biden and the delegation would get a first-hand look at what needs to be done.

Kenya borders Somalia. The U.S. estimates the drought and famine in Somalia have killed more than 29,000 children under the age of 5 in the last 90 days in southern Somalia alone. The U.N. says 640,000 Somali children are acutely malnourished, suggesting the death toll of small children will rise.

No, no, not Joe Biden. (He'd probably crack a joke about effective weight-loss programs or something.)

Mrs. Jill Biden.
The Second Lady.

(Just in case you think we really weren't taking those current deaths, current -- not imminent -- seriously enough. Thanks, Hill! *Cheers!* )
