happy birthday, jackass


I know, I know. But the idea that Bob here gets to eat cake while there is literally no bread in the shops, inflation is at a world record 1600%, and life expectancy has dropped to 36 (the lowest on the planet), well, it really pisses me off. That's his wife Grace on the left, and the martini glasses hold an 8 and a 3. Which is already more than double what most Zimbabweans are getting these days. Mugabe has been P-resident since 1980 and recently parliament voted to move the dates of the next election from 2008 to 2010, so that prez and parl can be chosen at the same time. I haven't been to Zimbabwe since 2002 but i'm going there for Easter, and in some ways I am really not looking forward to it at all.
