Things could always be worse.

Sometimes, I look at the political mess that the US is in: a very unpopular president, a contentious election pending, and I worry about the state of the country I live in.

Then I look at Zimbabwe and feel better.

(How the heck do you manage to lose an election that you went out and rigged, anyway?)

It's probably the inflation rate - Mugabe would've set aside, say, five billion Zimbabwe dollars to buy the election, but by the time it actually happened the price of a rigged poll had risen to something more like fifty billion Zimbabwe dollars.
