Witchdoctor Mugabe

Good news from the People's Paradise of Zimbabwe. You may be living under a racist dictator who slaughters his opponents, seizes farmland without compensation, drives people out of their homes, rigs elections, blasts the economy to ruins and turns the breadbasket of Africa into a pit of famine, but now, as a blow against colonialism and sanity, you can legally practice witchcraft.

For years, Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe's tyranny seemed as if it was sliding into the dark ages. Now the words "seems as if" can be taken out of that sentence.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
