Gang of Darfur

Good morning, Captain. The winner of the first YM Linking-Diggless Debate has been determined. First, I'm gonna stall and congratulate myself before bestowing an honor onto anyone else. I must say that the response was overwhelming; an infinite amount of more entries were submitted this time than when the contest did not exist. (That's not entirely true. Without provocation, reader "TBD" summoned uncharted prognosticative powers in late 1999 with an answer to the as-yet-unproposed pitting of Granta #64, Russia: The Wild East vs. Granta #65, London: The Lives of the City. But to be honest, I still don't understand how putting Ian Jack, Ian Buruma, Ian Hamilton and Ian Parker on a Siberian science camp would have a greater effect on "global wording" than forcing Vitali Vitaliev into a South Bank glory hole with Dale Peck.) Nonetheless, picking a winner was easy due to the exclusive use of random algorithms. Jim Nachlin, aka Gawker Media's Greatest Writer Ever, this Botswana's for you.

Affirmed: The U.S. should substantially increase its public health assistance to Sub-Saharan Africa.

I mean, we have lots of spare money, we're already blowing a ton of it on these stupid wars, and they could really use the help and would probably do the same for us if the tables were turned, because they seem like very cool people, especially given the circumstances.
