It is now bleedingly obvious you are a silly little finger-wagging man. You are a despotic Tiny Tin Teapot dicatator. You are a "balance". In other weds the world considers you to be stark raving krez.
I laughed out loud yesterday morning when a 702/Capetalk news presenter very cunningly used the sentence. As Mr Mugabe faces his woorst challenge in 28 years of one man rule, it appears he is trying to exit leadership "with Grace and Dignity". For those uninformed consumers of new media, Mrs Mugabe's first name is Grace. It has not yet been established if he has any offspring, legitimate of weekend-specials called Dignity.
yet true to for Uncle Bob issued orders for fully-clothed riot police to crack down on hotels and guest houses for the sole purpose of arresting journalists who are in country without official gov-enne-ment permission.

New York Times: "New Signs of Mugabe Crackdown in Zimbabwe"
By MICHAEL WINES
Published: April 4, 2008
Police officers patrolled Thursday in Harare, which has been tense since before elections on Saturday. Results of the presidential race have not been released.With the government facing election results that threaten its 28-year reign, security officers raided the Miekles [sic; it's spelt Meikles] Hotel in central Harare on Thursday afternoon, searching rooms that the main opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change, had rented for election operations, said Tendai Biti, the party’s general secretary.
About the same time, a second group of riot officers sealed off the York Lodge, a small hotel in suburban Harare that is frequented by foreign journalists. A lodge worker who refused to be identified for safety reasons said six people were detained, including Barry Bearak, a correspondent for The New York Times who was later located in a Harare jail. The identities of the others were not clear.
