I’m so out of it, the first draft of this had a GIGANTIC head! I mean, twice the size of the current one!
I’ve never been one to worry about anatomy unless it’s necessary for the picture, but this one was WAY out of whack! *grin*

Sorry for the profanity for those of you with weak constitutions. I thought it warranted today.
Yes, this is taken from an actual picture, from an incident that happened FAR too often today.
The “assistance” of the elderly (read: Easily intimidated), illiterate (Read: NOT illiterate) and infirm (Read: Folks who have had the shit kicked out of them so bad, they need help. Convenient, no?) by ZANU-PF is just remarkable in its blatantness. They’ve also been so kind as to dip voters fingers into ink to show they’ve voted, so that the goon squads… er… I mean helpful folks from ZANU can go ’round in trucks to help folks get to the polling stations, easily identifying them by the distinct lack of ink on their finger.
Of course, they also helpfully suggest who to vote for.
Apparantly bottles of black market ink are circulating around the suburb of Chitungwiza.
How fucked up is it that a) ink is a black marked good and b) a couple of drops of ink on your finger can save your life from another human being?
This whole situation is still so alien to me. I just can’t imagine having to live through that. No matter how much I read or ask or talk to folks about it, it STILL doesn’t compute to me.
I am honoured to know the Zimbabweans I do and can only hope that I can have HALF of their courage and conviction should anything happen to me.
They are amazing people.

I’m doing two today because the first one was done when I was absolutely enraged… and I don’t like creating things from a place of anger. It’s not healthy, I don’t think, so I wanted to balance it with something (hopefully) more entertaining.
Sorry about the angry one. I had just seen pictures from Zimbabwe (That’s Robert Gabriel Mugabe getting his skull caved in… good lord… just writing that concerns me about my state of mind) of some of the victims of the violence. I tried to be strong and look at all of them, but I’m just not that strong.
Thank you, Christian, for sending them. They helped focus me. I’m not sure what I am going to do or even what I can do, but I’m now bound and determined to do something.
The picture that struck me hardest was of a man who was beaten across the buttocks so badly that… God… I can’t even describe it. Craters of flesh, muscle and bone. That’s all I can get out.
If anyone is even REMOTELY unsure just how evil Mugabe and his regime are, please click here. WARNING! These pictures WILL disturb you and make you sick. If you have a weak stomach, be careful. I am NOT joking. I am deadly serious. These pictures will change you.
If, after seeing these pictures, you aren’t 100% sure that this man and his goons are true, unadulterated evil… well… (a) nothing will and (b) you have no soul. Please leave my site.
They are chopping off people’s hands so that they cannot vote, people!
Sorry… I need to calm down. Sorry.

AM/FM was the first “dirty” comedy I ever listened to.
I memorized the whole goddamn thing by the time I was 13.
I, for one, shall miss him and, much as it would piss him off to no end, I hope he’s in a better place.
