But hey, that's Africa!

Robert Mugabe, tyrant of the state of Zimbabwe, celebrates his 91st birthday by feasting on baby elephant, while denouncing the practice of allowing white people to come to Africa on safari.

Here the 91 year old enjoys a bite of little Dumbo, while figuring out ways to keep the white devil and his money out of the country.

This was the predicament in which one local landowner named Tendai Musasa found himself when figuring out what he would get Mugabe for his 91st birthday party, which cost $1 million and was held this past weekend. “We regard him as our father,” Musasa said to the Los Angeles Times of a leader who has been in power for 35 years and is widely criticized for his human rights record, disastrous economic policies and impoverished citizenry. “Our provider, our hero. We regard him as a very courageous man.”

For such a courageous man, who years ago instituted violent and contentious land-redistribution policies, Musasa would bring out the big guns. He would kill a baby elephant.

But it’s not such a big deal, he said. The elephant was no good anyhow.

So it goes in the classic third world despotism.
