Are you kidding?

Headline of Christian Science Monitor piece: "Will Mugabe go out like a lion or a lamb?"

Gee ... I think lion. A man-eating lion, or better yet, a liger "half lion, half tiger, skilled in magic."

I usually think the Monitor is fairly reputable. But that headline is positively Fox News-worthy in its obviousness.

If Mugabe actually cedes control and fades away into history, I'll eat one of my many hats. Honest.

(At the end of the article is this note: "A journalist who could not be named for security reasons contributed from Harare). Yeah, that's the climate of a country with a dictator acting lamb-ish. Is there a kind of lamb I don't know about?

Is the Liger kosher (Why does no one comment on our blogs any more?!??!)?

How about a badger? How is Mugabe like a badger?
