But the good news is that Ian Smith and those pestiferous white people are not around to oppress blacks in Zimbabwe any more.

Unfortunately, the Colonel's exposure to economic reality is limited to the monthly contemplation of his credit card bill.
That said, we too don't doubt the willingness of politicians to appeal to the basest impulses of the population. (The Colonel is second to none in his enjoyment of having his basest impulses stimulated, by the way.)
The demagoguery of Mugabe beggars the imagination (an expression we just coined). However, when a pound of chicken comes to cost Z$1 million we figure that the prognosis for the responsible government is Not Good. (Code Red!) When it gets to that point, don't even demagogues lose their credibility? (Or is it "loose" these days?)
Personally, I'd bet the ranch that Mugabe tries to lay the Troubles of the Nation at the doorstep of British Imperialism. Minister Farrakhan seems to get similar mileage out of White Supremacy.
A Fraternity of Swine.
A blog about Islamic intolerance and fanaticism; socialism; communism; government stupidity; and lying weasels everywhere, hopefully couched in vibrant and literate English and foreign words that make us look good.

I'd bet the ranch that the coverage of this phenomenon omits to mention that inflation is an inncrease in the volume of currency and credit. Reporters are much more likely to focus on the prices of goods, as if inflation were simply a coordinated conspiracy among producers to gut consumers. That approach always finds favor with politicians and their hangers-on.
Thanks for your comment. Please see main post for our comments.
