George Obama, Barack Obama’s half-brother, has been arrested for possession of marijuana, known in Kenya as Bhang, and for resisting arrest. George first made news months ago when photographs of him living in a shantytown made national headlines during the presidential election. There have also been previous reports commenting on George’s Rastafarian connections. George has denied the charges and is being held at the Huruma police post in the capital of Nairobi pending a court hearing scheduled for Monday. In a related bit of news, the British tabloid, News of the World, has published a photo of swimming sensation and Olympic star, Michael Phelps, smoking from a bong! The paper claims they were offered extraordinary incentives not to publish the photo. But it looks like they decided the bong would give them more bang for their buck (NewsoftheWorld via JoeMyGod).
