  1. If its up to the enviro-nuts this will seem mild. By that time if they get there wasy we will be back to horses hauling rusted cars.
    Go green.

  2. Tribune Co. ought to set up shop in Zimbabwe, a single sheet of two-ply toilet paper costs ZN$4000.
    If it saves just one socialist from bring left behind…

  3. This is a pretty sad statement about the failings of our western governments. Poor Mister Mugabe … after having overthrown white oppression and ushered in a progressive Utopia, he now has to beg for the necessities of life for his people from the former colonial powers.
    Canada, which has a massive debt of guilt to Zimbabwe (this country being built on the backs of slaves, of course), should send over all the paper Mister Mugabe needs to print up money, and as many social workers and leftist activists as we can spare, to teach the victims of colonial oppression the importance of not having material goods.
    Zimbabwe will soon be an environmentalists paradise: freedom from the oil culture, dead white mans medical practices, and processed food. All they need are handouts, more handouts, and more handouts more often, then these people can live a perfect life, independent and socialized.

  4. I still don’t see what the big deal over Zimbabwe is.
    Didn’t we help that great freedom fighter Robert Mugabe to overthrow the hated Ian Smith regime?
    Didn’t the people of Zimbabwe get the government they wanted?
    Nothing to see here, folks. Move along…

  5. Zimbabwe is a classic example of inflation in action. When ever they had a problem the government would just print more money and inflate their way out of it. Unfortunately this seems to be the same response that most of the world is taking to the current US economic crises.

    What people need to realize is that it is governments that cause inflation by increasing the money supply. That is one reason why oil is as high as it is.
    If we want it to stop then we need to demand that our governments become more responsible and let those that get themselves in financial trouble fail.

  6. Apparently they print their money with computer printers. Yah, the kind you have sitting on your desk beside your home computer.
    Their currency also have expiry dates on them for a few months after printing.
    Its like the country is run by a bunch of evil, murdering kindergarten kids.

  7. The testing process is probably slanted toward western culture and experience.
    I have to wonder why Nigeria, with a 67 score, is so successful at taking money from Canadians with a 97 score. Their skill at running internet scams should be enough to raise the score a few points.

  8. Isn’t Zimbabwe in Africa?
    Isn’t that the former Rhodesia?
    Didn’t they toss our all white people and steal their farms and businesses?
    Aren’t they now in the hands of the usual gang of black despots? You know like so many that you see hanging around the UN trying suck more whit’e people’s money?
    Aren’t Zimbabweans all starving and violence is rampant?
    I don’t care actually!

  9. The UN will singing Mug’s praises for hitting the ball out of the park on their CO2 targets…
    Nearly 100% reduction!
    The envirotards will be pleased, too.
