#1 Zimbabwe's economy falls on its knees

A shame that it had to be the economy to do that.

#2 Pay no attention to the thugocracy and their growing Swiss accounts... gotta be white mans fault somehow. Nevermind the systematic looting of the country by Mugabe and his tribesmen.

#3 Neck thingy emulating chain - check
Medals - check
Pointy star - check
Where the f**k is the sash?

Do you think that ZimbaBob, at any point, for a fleeting moment, had some illusions that what he does is good for the country?

Well, maybe, if he thought that what is good for him is good for the country.

#5 In the paper today was a column by NYT Kristof about his secret tour of Zimbabwe (he had to sneak in since Bob now arrests reporters). Kristof said that a lot of the locals were longing for the days of the "racist" white govt just so they can eat. Like the Norks, everyone is starving. Kristof was sorely vexed that it had come to this. His conclusion: It's all the West's (read as USA's) fault and that we should do something. As long as its not unilateral, I suppose.
