Mugabe Resigns !!!!
« on: November 21, 2017, 01:34:21 PM »
Just came across the radio.  Mugabe was facing impeachment proceedings in the Zimbabwe parliament, so he pulled a Nixon.

Once I find a link to the story, I'll update this post.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

The question then becomes, in which direction does Zimbabwe head....Venezuela or Chile ??

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I saw he had been under house arrest for a while. Hopefully they send his crazy wife packing as well. I think he had set her up as his replacement.

My son is starting a coin collection.  He has been begging for a $100,000,000,000 Zimbabwe bill.

I want one too but they don't give those away.

100 trillion bills go for $60-100 USD on ebay.

I imagine Zimbabwe will continue more or less along the same path it's been on since Mugabe took over - a few more generations, and it will be nearly indistinguishable from what it was when imperialistic Britishers like Cecil Rhodes arrived.
