Some joes just don't know when to call it quits. Exhibit A is in Z-country. As in the Zimbabwe elections. Current prez Robert Mugabe is pushing 85 and still going as the head honcho, but the problem is that he's throwing his weight around and scaring off the competition at gunpoint. His chief rival, Morgan Tsvamgirai, says Mugabe has been beating his supporters and running people off. Vote can't work, see?

Doing things a certain way and having nothing but a wreck to show for it. Sound like your money situation? I'm not being trivial about the violence, jack ... I'm pointing out how there needs to be a change in a bad situation if good things are gonna happen. Mug's mug doesn't need to be showing itself around there anymore. Time to move on to better things.

If you're doing the iron fist routine at your house and insisting that it be your way or the highway, then maybe someone needs to run YOU out of town, bub. There's only one guy who needs to run the whole show, and His name ain't you. Get with your other half, get a budget going and work together. Capiche?
