Thursday, September 18, 2008  I'm not buying it.  Mugabe is
making big public noises about having to do some power-sharing
with the opposition party. He's trying to sound all butthurt,
calling the situation "humiliating".  I'm not buying it.  Given
Mugabe's control of the gun barrels which are the wellspring of
political power, especially in Africa, any opposition party
members in the capitol that are still sucking wind past their
teeth are doing so at his sufferance, keeping up a quasi-
civilized facade in order to keep the charitable relief pump
primed.  If any real political power was being shared, Mugabe'd
be hanging by his ankles from a telephone pole in front of a
Harare gas station, and we all know it.   theirritablearchitect

charitable to the man.  I have different ideas. Loads of 'em.

pump money from the Euro NGO's -
