Zimbabwe’s Mugabe condemns ‘white’ safaris, eats baby elephant at birthday bash
The Washington Post ^ | March 2, 2015 | Terrance McCoy

When considering what to get Robert Mugabe for his birthday, one first must understand that Zimbabwe’s president is a man who demands the finest.

His birthday parties don’t cost hundreds of thousands; they cost millions. His parties aren’t attended by thousands, but by tens of thousands. And they don’t eat elephant; they eat baby elephant.

This was the predicament in which one local landowner named Tendai Musasa found himself when figuring out what he would get Mugabe for his 91st birthday party, which cost $1 million and was held this past weekend. “We regard him as our father,” Musasa said to the Los Angeles Times of a leader who has been in power for 35 years and is widely criticized for his human rights record, disastrous economic policies and impoverished citizenry. “Our provider, our hero. We regard him as a very courageous man.”

For such a courageous man, who years ago instituted violent and contentious land-redistribution policies, Musasa would bring out the big guns. He would kill a baby elephant.

The expression on her face is the outward reflection of the soul. Anger and frustration born of a lifetime spent acquiring purloined earthly goods in an attempt to drown out the inner child’s screaming hunger for a never-satisfied substitutionary love.

I don’t believe there is a single country on the entire continent of Africa that doesn’t suck.

Without direct transfer payments from working class TAXPAYERS, the American black population would cease to be viable.

They have remained constant at 13% despite genocidal abortion and tribal warfare.

Demographics are key to the CPUSA plan to SOVIETIZE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Cut the marxists down and go back to limiting legal immigration to contributors.

Annihilate the illegals and their comrades.

I agree. Hey Robert, I have some nude pictures of your wife doing the horizontal bop with your finance minister.

$300K, or gold, which ever you prefer...

Why? It has for legs and hair. Any mammal with 4 legs and hair is food to people. Not much different than hogs or cattle.
