"It's good to be the king."

That's probably not even in the top 1000 of the bad-thing-Mugabe-has-done list.

Was anyone else surprised that it wasn't an article about Obama?

Came here to pre-troll this. But was moments too late.

Not another one of these threads where farkers begin screaming that we must commence killing people in order to save them. We haven't even started killing the Syrians yet, the US can't be expected to kill everyone.

ecmoRandomNumbers		2012-02-18 03:59:23 AM

Eighty-eight years, huh? I think they should celebrate by dropping a grand piano on him

That would be King Mugabe mooning his peasants.

NobleHam		2012-02-18 04:04:42 AM

May it be his last.

Not to Godwin, but he does kind of have a Hitler mustache.

CSB: My friends from South Africa (who used to live in Zim) went to Zimbabwe and they went in a convoy of armored Range Rovers with armed guards. Apparently there are still some wealthy white people in Zimbabwe.

So in other words he's a politician just like any other politician in any other country.

This may be a silly question, but can anyone tell me with certainty that it *is* a mustache? Or just an extremely pronounced philtrum? I seriously can't tell.

His face looks very oily. I try to deflect the look of greasiness on my face.

Robert Mugabe is a Morris Marina? Why was I not informed of this?

CasperImproved		2012-02-18 04:27:24 AM

Except for the "kill all the peasants" thing, he'd fit right in with the American politicians.

"Except for"? I see someone's never encountered the Texas justice system.

Relatively Obscure		2012-02-18 04:34:35 AM

Mugabe's birthday plans have been dubbed the '21st February Movement' by his supporters to mark the date in 1924 on which the tyrant was born.

Huh. So in Zimbabwe, birthday celebrations are sometimes held because someone was born on that day. What a crazy country!

cc_rider		2012-02-18 04:42:30 AM

I bet Mugabe's Million dollar Hip-Hop BBQ didn't create any jobs, either!

But seriously, fark this kleptocrat douche.

No, it does not appear that anyone that isn't completely ignorant about Obama and hating him just because he's Obama thought that.

Natsumi		2012-02-18 04:49:12 AM

As someone living in a country quite close to Zim... and hearing the same rumblings about land grabs and killing white people - this man can seriously do us all a favor and just die already.

I always have two questions for those "comrades" who go on about how great he is and how wonderful Zim is after they got rid of most of the white people in the 80's and turned the bread basket of Southern Africa into a freakin wasteland. If its so great there why do you live there and why do so many Zimbabweans come over our borders illegaly? I never get an answer...

Natsumi		2012-02-18 04:50:18 AM

Why don't you live there?

Won't be long. Then he can enjoy the rewards of a life well lived for all eternity.

Something on the edges of memory...

proteus_b		2012-02-18 05:32:03 AM

Hardly want to come off as a mugabe apologist, but what is costing 1 M dollars there? If he is spending the money locally, then it's as good as handing out the money. Now if only he could stop killing his own people, and focus on giving them more money, as he's doing here...

Handing out the money (and constantly printing more) is how Zimbabwe got so bad in the first place.

/the money doesn't even make very good toilet paper any more

This might be a topic worthy of debate if we lived in that alternate universe, you know the one with that one really amazing person who allegedly leads by example.

Somehow, I doubt the wine, fine food, or much of anything else the $1 million will be spent on, originate from Zimbabwe. If it was available within his own borders, he would simply take it rather than buying it.

There are lots of people who lead by example. You'd rather call them hypocrites anyway than admit they exist, even if you have to make up lies about the things they do and/or say.

Angus MacGyver. Now there was a man you could put your trust in.

Zimbabwe would be better off under british rule

DrippinBalls		2012-02-18 06:44:12 AM

I would pay money (Good money!) to see this worthless POS bastard tortured in the most inhumane ways possible prior to his execution. Now that would be entertainment.

well, probably true. but if the money were spent locally on chefs, entertainers, etc., it would not be a waste of money. but you're probably right.
