Tell your friends to get out ASAP, as Fat Bad Robert is only warming up

Several already have. Most have relocated to Zambia or South Africa and a few to Mozambique.

It’s a tragedy when you have to simply walk away from everything you own and everything you have worked for all of your life due to nothing more than a crazy SOB running the show.

“Walk away” means exactly that. If one chooses to leave Zim, all non-personal assets must stay. For a farmer, that means abandoning all of their machinery and equipment, seed stocks, etc.

It’s basically a “Beverly Hillbillies” scenario where they load up the Land Rover with what they can, and leave everything else behind.

Including their cash. If they weren’t smart enough to have banked some in a foreign bank over the years, Mugabe’s policies severly limit the amount they can export.

Back to your point though…..you’re right. Bobby will eventually starve the entire country and nobody will notice.

The last numbers I saw estimated over 75% of the indigenous folks were infected with AIDS. On top of that, many of the locals had small huts where they sold soapstone and other carvings which was their main source of income. Mugabe shut all of them down in the last year.

The economy is listed by the IMF as one of the worst ever recorded in a non-war zone, with annual inflation currently in excess of 1,000%. A recent article in the Zim daily noted drug prices increasing over 2.5% per day, due to critical shortages of raw materials and lack of hard currency for importing needed supplies.

Lastly, Mugabe’s land reform policies have resulted in mass shortages of grain and other food and cash crops for export. Beef herds have declined to the point where there will effectively be no beef available in less than 18 months. Power is rationed via rolling blackouts, and petrol and diesel are practically non-existent.

In short, it’s a human disaster, and noone cares. Especially the UN.

igen ( yes; pronounced EE-gan ), and thus my comment about if Mugabe had Serious Firepower he would have done Far Worse to Far More. And you /we ain’t OT because this started with Mugabe’s photo and a monster reference

Folks, I’m willing to bet the sign “mini sheehan” is holding “Stop U.S. military bsae expansion!” is a photoshop. — thedecider

…to the nekkid eye, I tend to lean that way, too…but it could also be one of those $1.98 custom Ko-rean specials available over there for anything from embroidered shirts to custom cowboy boots. An enterprising people, the Koreans…whose spelling of English words sometimes leaves a bit to be desired.

Ahmadinejad and Mugabe are open enemies. But Cindy and Medea? They are akin to the traitors Cicero spoke of so long ago. — EFG

…exquisite and, dare I say, literate reasoning. Refreshing. Kudos.

It’s Thanksgiving week so

I qeustoin the tieming…

Which is more depressing? The one of the two semi-literate monsters?
Or the one of Ahmadinejad and Mugabe?

Heh. Good one.

Others have already opined. But as for me, I think Marcus Tullius Cicero said it best 50 years before the birth of Christ.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

Ahmadinejad and Mugabe are open enemies. But Cindy and Medea? They are akin to the traitors Cicero spoke of so long ago.

In objecting to such a label the ladies doth protest too much, methinks.

“I just don’t understand why people care, to be honest with you. I’m not spending my time with this anymore.

“This is a waste of my time.”

Sawyer’s questions were not popular with fans and gay groups.

“Media speculation about people’s sexual orientation is not something we support,” said Damon Romine, an official of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

(Quoted from a FoxNews.com article)

It does appear that Rosie committed a major faux pas and clearly overstepped her bounds. I find this unconscionable from someone who obviously should have known better.

That’s South Korea, Defector. Probably Pyongtaek.

I’m confused about the point of them brandishing their passports, though. — James

…we can live in hope that the picture was taken just before they thrust their passports into space heater. Then we could deny them reentry into the US, and they could drift off to France, there to live as a modern day Gertrude and Alice B., looking down their scary noses at the world.

A pint-sized, pink-o who hasn’t *YET* found an enemy of the US she hasn’t liked.

A raggedy former porn addict whose “grief” for a son who’d probably disavow her existence were we able to consult him has worn beyond thin.

A rolly-polly totalitarian, only in power because he’s too dim to be a real threat to anyone beyond his borders, and dismissed by lethargic “humanitarians” tripping over their own “enlightened” ethic of letting blacks kill blacks all they want.

…and a little maniacle whelp with delusions of messianic moral authority.

A wealth of choice.

I vote for the chick pic. The totalitarian pic is too easy.

While Clay will discuss the rampant rumors about his sexuality with Sawyer on Thursday, in an interview with People magazine, Aiken says “What do you say (to that question)? … It’s like when I was 8. I remember something would get broken in the house, and Mom and Dad would call me in and say, ‘Did you do this?’ Well, it didn’t matter what I said. The only thing they would believe was yes. … People are going to believe what they want.”

This was at TMZ.com. Did Rosie make an unwanted flying leap here? Clay obviously wants to keep some ambiguity when it comes to his sexuality and “quick to judge Rosie” decides that crying “Homophobe” is more important than Clay’s feelings. Again, I really believe she likes to make these things about herself.

As my father would say to this “how come our good Earth doesn’t open up and engulfs these bad creatures?”

Do you really think Gaia wants these parasites inside her belly?

You hardly exaggerate, according to the Daily Telegraph ( although their ‘gal’ in Harare does most of her on-the-spot complaining about the lack of / cost of Scotch, she does take note of the dwindling population and the occasional corpse along the pot-holed road )
