> South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau, known as Mayor Kobi, berated his own constituents for citing his spending in office and said he was 'disappointed' to be questioned 'heading into Black History Month.'

> Kamau shot back at a tense city council meeting on Tuesday: ‘I am so distressed and disappointed that the blackest city in one of the blackest states in the United States of America heading into Black History Month, we are tearing each other down.’
> 
> Councilwoman Helen Willis slammed his attempts to dodge the questioning, responding: ‘We’re not tearing you down you took your black behind over to Africa for 20 days and didn’t tell anybody.’
> 
> The hostile exchange came after residents confronted Kamau over his alleged mishandling of taxpayer money, as local Patricia Wise was seen telling the council: ‘You guys got to do better, you guys really do got to do better.’
> 
> After facing the onslaught, Kamau walked out of the meeting as the hearing turned to discussing new policies, refusing to give an explanation for his huge expenses, per [WSBTV](https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/south-fulton-county/south-fulton-mayor-walks-out-heated-city-council-meeting-early-after-expenses-questioned/GSZNCJ36OFAFRODSTF7566Q5FE/).

More accurately, though, it’s a slightly larger, gayer Rhode Island.

Thought experiment: David Hogg and Greta Thunberg (was the new smile surgically implanted?) produce an offspring. Once, it was feared the LHC might produce a black hole which would consume the earth. This particular mating possibility might be in the realm of that or an AGI as an existential threat, IMO.

After reading some of the excerpts from the articles written about these Amazonians, my sympathies lie with them. It’s yet another reminder of the wisdom of “however much you hate journalists, it is not enough.”
