There exists the possibility that Zimbabwe’s opposition might have to accept a coalition government without their own candidate at the top. If there is going to be a so-called “unity government,” it must be one that allows the opposition government to lead it or else it won’t have legitimacy and will signify the selling-out of the Zimbabwean people. That is all I have to say about the sad farce that has been this election, and I will comment as news develops.

Closer to home, an Indiana Republican visited with a neo-Nazi group to speak on Hitler’s birthday, and then he compared it to appearing on a black radio station in Atlanta. At that page, there is a picture of the smarmy-looking candidate and a few other incidents he has been involved with, if you’re interested in finding out just how repugnant a human being Tony Zirkle is.

In Tibet, the Chinese government has offered to have talks with the Dalai Lama, even as they condemn him as a source of violence. The Dalai Lama, for his part, says that the talks are welcome but will be futile if they are just a PR-move. So, forgive me if I predict that they’re going to be futile.
