Insert tired joke about red buttons and menstruation here

Liberia has elected the first woman head of state in modern African history. She does not wear flaming red lipstick and she is not what we cosmopolitan Americans would call "hot," however, so I don't know how long this will last.

But kudos to Liberia for doing what the greatest fucking nation on the planet has still not managed to do: elect a woman to the highest office in the land.
