CITIZENS of a troubled central African banana republic were last week delighted by news that their Zany justice system seemed to have run amok. Used to watching members of the Zany Party rob, rape, plunder and murder with impunity, they were taken aback to see an elite member of the same party languishing in stocks.
Taken aback, but delighted too. During the last three years, the justice system has concentrated solely on the perversion of justice - and arresting members of the opposition More Drink Coming Party, journalists, human rights activists and anyone else who could spell the word democracy.
Still, last week, for the first time anyone can remember, the Zany police locked up a Zany lawmaker. If that wasn't enough, the magistrates' court then refused to release the Zany lawmaker on bail.
This startling development angered many of the richer socialists in the Zany Party - and there are a good many of them.
Actually, almost all urban Zany socialists are rich because the poor ones have been dumped on farms that once belonged to wealthy capitalists who were largely not members of the Zany Party.
Meanwhile, the jailed Zany socialist businessman applied further pressure to the cash-strapped government by appearing in court wearing prison clothes.
Many troubled central Africans complained this was an unnecessary use of resources because just last year the Zany socialist boasted that he had 500 suits of his own.
A man with 500 suits generally finds prison conditions difficult, but then everyone finds prison conditions difficult in the troubled central African basket case.
Still, Over The Top can dispel one rumour. Talk of the Zany lawmaker wanting to experience jail because he was suffering from penal envy is untrue.
The Zany businessman, like all members of his party, had genuinely assumed they could behave as they chose because the law applied only to members of the More Drink Coming Party and anyone else who did not subscribe to the lunatic teachings of the most equal of all comrades.
But political analysts point out the jailing of the Zany businessman does not signify a new found philosophy of fairness in the ranks of what passes for a police force in the troubled central African regime.
Instead they say it shows that the cake is getting smaller and the big Zanies are starting to eat the little Zanies. And they are particularly eager to eat the little Zanies who think they're big, like the one languishing in squalid conditions in a remand cell.
That particular Zany got too big for the 500 pairs of boots he presumably owns to go with his 500 suits. As a result, bigger Zanies, who really do have big boots, had him chucked in the box to consider whether owning fast German motorcars and Italian suits was really such a good idea in the first place.
The clothes the Zany lawmaker was last seen wearing were probably designed in St Mary's, not Milan, while he was hauled to court in a decrepit old Defender rather than a cabriolet.
Still, nothing lasts forever, and troubled central Africans are eagerly waiting to see which Zany fat cat will be the next to be thrown into the clink.
It is yet another manifestation of Zany economics. The less money there is, the fewer the people who can share it ... so the surplus people have to be put somewhere where they can't get their grubby little paws on the dosh. The obvious place is behind bars.
Over The Top just wonders how they're going to explain it all when the company reports come out. No one is really going to believe he spent his annual leave in the remand centre.
Clive could do us all a favor and just do a monthy posting indicating that Zim, along with the rest of aids- infested, murdering, white-hating, poverty-striken, child-raping, slave-trading, tincup marxist dictator Africa, is still in down the toilet and will continue to remain there for the next couple of centuries (at least).
Just think of the effort saved (along with the bandwidth and disk space).
Any white person who hasn't gotten out of Zim by now is probably too stupid to be sucking oxygen.

I prefer the timely updates. Thanks, Clive.
I like news. There's just nothing newsworthy about Zim in particular and africa in general. Any news story about africa will probably contain the following words: starvation, torture, aids, child-raping, murder, tribal warfare, disease, dictator, "land reform" (taking white farmers land), slavery, paganism, crop failure, UN, islam, anti-christan, anti-white.
Please show me something "new" about africa and I'll consider it newsworthy.
Otherwise posts on africa belong in miscellaneous. Certainly not in "latest" or breaking news.
Obviously there are a number of us who follow this news and appreciate Clive's pings.
Many of us have lived there, or still have friends who are there.
Some of these friends are not white.
Don't like it ?
Read elsewhere.
