Bobby Mugabe Alert!
The world's favorite corrupt dictatorial thug has been at it again. First he shared the benefits of his (half) wit and wisdom at the UN:

President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe astonished world leaders and diplomats last night by delivering a public tirade against Britain and Tony Blair at the United Nations.

Mr Mugabe's 15-minute speech in front of heads of state at the UN General Assembly degenerated into an embarrassing rant against Zimbabwe's former "oppressors and colonials" and the Prime Minister.

Mr Mugabe also boasted to the UN of the end of his "fast-track land redistribution programme" which has driven white farmers, their families and staff off their property, often pursued by thugs armed with machetes.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch

Maize stocks have dwindled to unprecedented levels and could run out early next week unless the government gets fresh supplies, the latest United Nations humanitarian report has said.

Over the past two weeks shops have not received any supplies of mealie-meal while bread shortages have become a common feature of people's daily lives.

"The maize in the country is expected to run out during the second half of September unless the planned imports are quickly moved into the country," the UN report said.

Government is understood to have suspended grain imports until the end of the year arguing that food aid would cater for the country's needs for the next four months.

But that's OK, everyone on the homefront is getting into the electoral spirit

Organised gangs loyal to Robert Mugabe have kidnapped and beaten hundreds of opposition candidates to stop them from registering for this month's local elections.

Saving the best for last, Bobby also graced a soiree of his local NYC fan club:

At least City Councilman Charles Barron only said he wants to slap a white person.

Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe, doesn't share Barron's delight in white-bashing banter. He prefers action.

Under Mugabe's orders, land belonging to white farmers in the African nation has been seized and redistributed to Mugabe's unskilled black supporters - promising starvation to citizens of all races.

Last March, amid copious reports of the torture of Mugabe's opponents - and the systematic rape of their daughters - the United States refused to recognize his re-election.

So where does an international pariah go if he needs a hug?

Why, into the arms of Councilman Barron and other members of the City Council's Black and Latino Caucus, of course!

Yesterday, the caucus threw a reception, inside your City Hall, in Mugabe's honor. Apparently, some councilmen believe that this unapologetic racist, who's drawn power by blaming whites for his own failings, can teach New York valuable lessons in good government.

The caucus has planned a "fact-finding" trip to Zimbabwe, paid for by the impoverished nation.

You might say Barron, an ex-Black Panther with a knack for a quick quip, is Mugabe's ideological brother.

You might say something else too.

During a speech at last month's rally in Washington for slavery reparations, Barron went over the top, even for him:

"I want to go up to the closest white person and say, 'You can't understand this, it's a black thing,' and then slap him just for my mental health."

He dismissed his words as "black hyperbole." Imagine the uproar if a white man said he'd like to slap Barron.

Sounds like Chuckie is a real party animal. He should get along fine with Bobby.
