African Regimes are Coming Down

Democracy activists vs soldiers vs regime protesters!

Here’s an idea that’s spinning in my mind. How about, we gather up a few rugged T-Nation members, militarily take over an oil-rich African nation in turmoil. Since we are crafty Americans, we can make it look like we are the leaders of a revolution! What this means is that we will seize power.

Before you call me crazy, I must tell you that we are halfway there. Their leaders have left the country! They are waiting for somebody to take control. Imagine the possibilities!

Somebody please give me a reality check - talk me out of this before I pack my bags and go start a “revolution”.

Can we get air conditioning there?

oh… and fly swatters?

Good luck. Take lots of pictures – especially, right before you get slaughtered.

We need more evidence of what happens to American busybodies.

calebsmitty as a ruler, you shall have only the best flyswatter money can buy. No A/C though.
