In the know: Nigeria
The Onion News Network has a panelist discussion show called “In the Know with Clifford Banes.” But the mysterious Clifford Banes has never actually been on his own show. Every week the guest host gives an excuse for Banes’ absence. This week his autobiography was due. It’s a shame Clifford Banes had to miss this week’s show because they raised an interesting question: With Allegations Of Fraud In The Election Of Umaru Yar’Adua In Nigeria, How Will Global Petroleum Markets React, Especially Considering Their Understandable Wariness Faced With The Ongoing Civil Strife And Crumbling Infrastructure In The Niger Delta? Only The Onion asks the tough questions.
