#1 Correct me iff I'm wrong, but wasn't there a NET news article that said ZimBob will stay in power = can stay in power until the Year 2013 - 20 hours a day and six yarns = 72 mos. to go???

#2 No, no, Steve, you've got it ALL WRONG! They aren't having power CUTS in ZimBobLand, the ZimBobLand Government, out of the goodness of its heard and to establish solidarity with the masses, has, through careful planning, now RAISED POWER SUPPLIES to FOUR HOURS per day. Anyone who dares dispute that clear fact is doubleplus ungood and will soon find him/herself at one with the memory hole.

#3 "I'll bet they have good lunches, unlike the average people in Zimbobwe."

And their own generators....

#5 After heaving read the writings and the blogs of non ZANU-PF 'elite' Zimbaweans, I've come to the reluctant conclusion that they deserve words of sympathy, and nothing else. In their view, Bob is indeed a bastard, but he is an 'African bastard'. Zimbawe may be going to hell in a handbasket, but it's being carried by Zimbabweans and not 'Westerners'.

#6 Sad Pappy, the actions of South Africa towards ZimDoom kinda speaks volumes.

#7 If it were not for South Africa propping Zimbob up for decades, he would have dried up long ago. It's an Afri thing, we wouldn't understand.
