3- Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe.. This country used to be the breadbasket of Africa. Rich, and fertile land used to engulf this African paradise. Lets admit it, Robert Mugabe used to be one of the best rulers in Africa. He made sure Zimbabwe's economy was tip-top in form. He made sure the people were fed, and he looked after the sick and the poor by building hospitals.

But something seemed to snap in his mind around the year 2000. First of all, he decided to claim back land stolen by white colonialists over a hundred years ago. So he rounded up his troops and drove out the current white Zimbabwe farmers.

Mr Mugabe.. If you want to feed your people, you let the most experienced farmers run the business, not a load of 'ZANU-PF war veterans' with no prior experience to farming. This action led to white Zimbabwean farmers leaving the country. There were 5000 farmers, now they are only 280. The people of Zimbabwe are now starving.

'Operation Drive Out Trash' was another Mugabe tactic. To clear 'illegal settlements' and other shanty towns. This action lead to thousands becoming homeless. By this time, most western country's had themselves against Zimbabwe.

And after rigging an election, and sinking the country into a 231000000% inflation rate (compared to UK's 4.1%, or Germany's 2.0%), he accused the British of the widespread cholera outbreak in his country, which has claimed 10,000 lives.

His information minister described the cholera outbreak as a "genocidal onslaught on the people of Zimbabwe by the British". It is pathetic of the Mugabe regime to accuse the British of causing a Zimbabwe genocide, but Robert Mugabe later shocked the world by saying that he got rid of cholera overnight.

Someone needs to get rid of him, and install a new government that is democratic, but no country will do it. Want to know why? Well I will tell you why..

There is no oil in Zimbabwe

2- Cheesecake

Cheesecakes always bring interest to my life. The prospect of cheese in a cake sounds horrible, it strays away from the conventions of most cakes:

Most cakes have sponge
Most cakes have chocolate in one form or another.

Now, to add to my theorum, lets look at the conventions of tarts:

Most tarts have a pastry or biscuit like base
Most tarts have a 'semi-solid' filling





So, why are cheesecakes called cheesecakes? Why not Cheese Tarts? and, in accordance to my taste buds... why dont cheesecakes/tarts/whatever taste like cheese?

1- Kim Jong Il

Korea was divided into 2 countries after the Korean War in the 50's. One turned out to be prosperous and incredibly powerful, while another turned into a socialist fairyland. North Korea fascinates me, it's president 'Kim Il Sung', is infact, dead. This country has had a dead president since 1994..

Kim Jong Il, his son, is the de facto leader of North Korea, and he likes to be called the "Dear Leader". He is a great man, infact, he is so great that he gives on the spot guidance on athletics.



Look at him.. He isnt exactly sports material, and he is not fit to instruct people on athletic guidance. And observe the music, pure properganda is what we have here. To add irony, he is suspected of having a stroke a few weeks ago, due to his ailing heath and extravagant lifestyle.

I suggest you guys check out http://uk.youtube.com/user/Songunblog and view all of his properganda videos on Kim Jong Il and North Korea.
