Follow-Up On Yesterday's Blog

Yesterday I mentioned President Bush's trip to Africa. Well, some news came out today that fits with that perfectly.

In Harare, Zimbabwe, the inflation rate is so bad that no one can keep up with it. In November of last year, the inflation rate was 24,470 percent. December's rate? 66,212 percent! In one month!

To give you some idea of what that means, between January 2007 and January 2008, the price of a chicken has gone up 236,000 percent! That is, of course, if you can find a chicken. The stores are almost completely empty.

Of course, Executive President Robert Gabriel MUGABE (since 31 December 1987), isn't searching for chickens. As one of the top ten dictators in the world, Mugabe has enough cash stashed away that he couldn't give a rat's ass about his people - if they get unhappy with his reign, they get disappeared - quickly.

I don't know how much money we've sent there, but it has to stop. All it's doing is making that monster richer and his people poorer.
