    Should Chelsea Accept Livestock Dowry Offer?

    Should Chelsea accept this kind offer of livestock dowry from a Kenyan man?

    Livestock dowry up to Chelsea, Clinton says
    3 hrs ago [AP] NAIROBI, Kenya — A Kenyan man's offer of 40 goats and 20 cows for Chelsea Clinton's hand in marriage may still be on the table — and Hillary Rodham Clinton has promised to convey the "very kind offer" to her daughter.

    To laughter at a town hall meeting Thursday in Kenya, CNN's Fareed Zakaria asked the U.S. Secretary of State if the Clintons had made a decision on the dowry offer. In 2000, a Kenyan man wrote to then-president Bill Clinton offering the animals in accordance with African tradition.

    After a pause, Clinton said, "My daughter is her own person, very independent, so I will convey this very kind offer." ....

    It is not impossible, of course. But he, or she, has to be born in American soil.

    40 goats and 20 cows seems a bit mean. Now 40 cows and 20 goats now thats a bargain. As this offer was in 2000 and the interest rate in Kenya is x=d(ax2)^*p(v)2((bx*a2*))G/c2dx/ax2*g*xc=....Not bad not bad...She's now worth 41 goats and 21 cows... go for it girl!!!))

    Sir, I think you missed my half-ass attempt at a joke.

    Or I missed your sarcasm...

    Gunnut, all the comments in this thread are serious. Like the livestock dowry offer and Hiliary's reply, none are intended to be a joke.

    (But is my comment above a joke?)

    I can beat that offer.


    The Free People's Republic of Patonia needs a First Lady, seriously, don't mess this up for me... A queen in her own country? How could she miss? Miss C & me could have quite a country, you think she'd up and speak about my fourth world status and how I wouldn't try any funny things. Backyard nuclear reactor, just for energy mind you.

    I always thought she was hot. Ouch!
