To add insult to injury, the country is running out of bank notes.
"After running out of basic foods like bread and milk, Zimbabwe is now running out of bank notes."
"The soaring inflation rate -- the world's highest at 15,000 per cent -- means locals are being forced use more bank notes to buy less."

Hey, just like my grandmother's stories of using 4 billion Reichsmarks to buy a loaf of bread in 1929!
Everything old is new again.
Splendid job Mr. Mugabe! :(
Catastrophic Mugabeism, should send Naomi there to sort him out.

So: Which excuses will be offered next for Zim's fate? Didn't get the message out? Socialism implemented "to fast" or "too slowly"? "American interference"? Lack of "American support"?
How about: Socialism is a corrupt, parasitic model.
Heh. What wag appointed Chavez as a "mediator" in Columbia? You know my feelings about the guy, but a mediator he ain't. The very notion brings tears of laughter to my eyes.
