Kenya tops on opening day of world championships

Edna Kiplagat crashed chest-forward late in the women's marathon only to recover and lead Kenya to an unprecedented sweep on the opening day of the world championships.

Kiplagat won in a slow 2 hours, 28 minutes, 43 seconds to claim the first gold medal of the competition. Priscah Jeptoo was second and Sharon Cherop third.

Kenya's perfect start contrasted with Steve Hooker's fortunes. The defending pole vault champion from Australia failed to clear the qualifying height, making an injury-marred season even worse.

Hooker says "just mentally, it wasn't there. I had no confidence in what I was doing out there ... I wasn't feeling it."

Kenya Tourism Guides Say Obama Born in Kenya

The Obama File has started up a new forum. How interesting it is to find out that Kenya Information and Tourism Worldguides says Obama born in Kenya. Of course, the Obots went ahead and scrubbed the information from the website. But The Obama File website took a screen shot of how the website appeared before the scrubbing. Go over to The Obama File forum to see it.  Scroll down at link (above) to click on forum link thread or click here on Kenya Information and Tourism Worldguides says Obama born in Kenya.

Excerpt:

It doesn't make it so, but there sure are a lot of responsible sources that have gone on record saying so -- including Kenyan government officials.

Naturally, this information will be added to all these other sources that identify Kenya as Obama's home country and/or place of birth.
