‘Walking past the hundreds of stately Somali refugees lined up outside the gates of the UN High Commission for Refugees here in Nairobi — men in tidy shirts and slacks, women in baby blue, fuchsia or copper chadors — the pasty face of Jason Kenney floats into my mind. Later,

Funny! If I was a god-fearin’ man I’d say it was one of the old man in the sky’s little jokes on dumbass Rick Perry. OK, it’s not exactly the same jacket. Close enough for homophobia spotting. Too bad Perry didn’t wear one of white Brokeback Mountain cowboy hats, too.
