"Uganda Is Not Spain"
Nobody can forget how over the weekend Spanish PM Rajoy told economy minister de Guindos to keep a stiff upper lip, and that, lest someone forget, Spain is not Uganda.

Two days later nobody is laughing: Spanish bond yields just pushed to Euroarea records, Fitch just downgraded the bulk of Spanish banks, and it looks like Spain may need a second bailout before the details of the first one are even ironed out. However, one entity is not amused. Uganda. Or perhaps, is very amused, depending on one's perspective.
Al Jazeera responds:
The Stream spoke with Ugandan blogger Rosebell Kagumire, who started the hashtag #UgandaisnotSpain in response to the PM's remarks:
Many felt insulted at the implication that Uganda is economically weak.

So #Spain is being kicked out of the Euro Zone and the Prime Minister is busy dissing #Uganda? What a terrible leader! #UgandaIsNotSpain

Sorry Mariano Rajoy (PM #Spain), #Uganda can't help your country stay in the Euro Zone. Deal with it yourself! #UgandaIsNotSpain

Others compared the economies of the two countries:
Spanish PM has really messed it up. #UgandaisnotSpain as they grow at 15%, no failed banks around and I guess its PM knows when to shup up.

#UgandaIsNotSpain I guess that is why spain is dying for a bailout while we in #Uganda have money to by jets and oil to swim in

You can call #Uganda "a banana republic" but truth is, Uganda is not the one which will end up kicked out of EZ. #UgandaIsNotSpain #Spain

Uganda is way better... but women are hotter in Spain... but that is subjective.
Silly Bazungu. And they don't like their Matoke!
Mmmm. Matoke!
funny..
I dunno. I wouldn't kick Ugandan blogger chick out of bed, actually. Not the prettiest girl I've ever seen but she looks... dirty!
I dunno man, she is pretty steamy and that accent is sexy
@i love cholas
She is a much better spokesman than Rajoy or any of the other Euroclowns.
If Spain isn't Uganda then that leaves us with Zimbabwe.
Tappas are better in Spain. Uganda tappas are just...reaching...down...and...picking...up...a...roach
Those Uganda outfits are pretty cool though
Spain GDP=1.4 TRILLION Uganda GDP= 16 Billion,that's right 16. End of Conversation,done,finished!
Yeah...but you don't have KONY2012
Spain GDP=1.4 TRILLION Uganda GDP= 16 Billion,that's right 16. End of Conversation,done,finished!
Reasons Spain is way better:Electricity,running water,food,hospitals,bullet trains,best European airports,best highways in Europe,running water(can't
emphazize that too much) and the LADIES!!!!! Oh and in Spain our "bush" meat are the Ladies !
all "paid for"....by the future. Good luck with that.
...hmmm...maybe I should be considering Uganda as my bug-out location ...
mbukta bula bukti n[click click] gawee mnufu baba.
Translation: today, we are all Ugandans.
Today you are a dumbass.
No shit. East Africans don't click!
Ngenda oku kuzikariza!
Does that mean you disagree?
[edit] fuck that. lighten up.
You're the one prick in the department that orders in English at the Chinese restaurant making sure to finish with "shay shay", aren't you? Yeah we all know how ahead of the times you are. You should change your handle to "SilverPaperClaim" for all the value you have yet to show.
Ok, which of you guys gave the market a boost right now?
seriously! ... what the heck is that all about ... is one of the Fed-heads out making 'helpful' comments?
I tried to give the market a reach-around, but it slapped my hand.
Lou, it was me. I put in an order for a parcel of ten facebook shares by mistake.
UBS thanks you ... just 9,999,990 shares to go ...
Lou everyone knows that gold can't look better than other asset classes when it is having a liftoff day. It can go up in small increments sometimes but when it up 1% or more the markets have to match it to hide their flaws.
Its like people in the US saying "The US is not like Greece!"
We are actually WORSE than Greece in terrms of entitlements. They just haven't hit yet with full force.

plus they don't have our Benny to print them up a little sumpin sumpin
One thing Uganda has of its very own, a money printer.
WARagi too
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waragi
The bush waragi is where it's at. God bless the Dutch courage.
Have they printed the new bills yet? The ones with Kony on the font.
Yes, because all their natural resources will belong to China more sooner than later.
They know that. But I guess they figure that China might just pay for them, as opposed to sponsoring a few terrorist cells as an excuse for 'Attack Of The Drones: Part XVII'
How do you know? Are the spears and necklaces in the article pic made of cheap plastic and lead paint?
Spain is going down and U-GANDA stop the downward momentum now suckas!
What Uganda do about it?
Dupe
If the Spanish PM did say this think about it hard for a minute. (1) The finance minister is really in charge and no one else?? (2) The PM sounds like a moron and has no balls. I'm surprised the people don't rise in revolt and hang both of them.
The political and economic disasters we are seeing are but a prelude to the human disasters and suffering that have begun to unfold. Very soon bank accounts will start to freeze, borders will tighten, European camaraderie will cool noticeably and cargo tankers will become floating vacant warehouses stuck in the middle of the oceans with no where to go. Unemployment will worsen, property prices will continue to fall and yet our political and banking masters will still be in denial about the need to write off unpayable and unserviceable debt.
But i am fairly confident that Ugandan society will weather the downturn far better than Spain and the rest of us.
Right before we burn the fuckers that caused all this at the stake, to balance the scale somewhat for most of the population of the first world that they just killed. In the end it'll come down to us or them.
Sometimes Karma is just a bitch that way.
Yours truly,
Madam DeFarge
Why burn perfectly good, reusable stakes?

they should just export the Fed Evans around the globe to spread QE rumors. Easy stimulus.
Hey gaetano kagwa, we have oil to swim in too... it's called the Gulf of Mexico.
Rajoy is a typical arrogant western oligarch fuckstick. He probably can't find Uganda on a map
Rajoy should be the first to have his head separated from the rest of his body, then work through the rest of Europe and ultimately into Brussels and the unelected EU technocrats. The entire Eurozone now adheres to the Juncker idea that when things are bad, you have to lie. Rajoy certainly has lied continuously for months (at least). I wonder if the Spanish hate him as much as I hate Obama and Mittens? I wonder if the Spanish will demand he and his cronies get treated for what they are: criminals? I wonder, if that happens will it influence the rest of the world to do the same? Let's hope so.
USA is not Uganda, for now.
Some parts are already

Uganda says: "stop playing Makida Makida. We will not bail you out, Spain".
With over 300,000 MENA refugees flooding into Europe, Spain may just become a de facto Uganda-like nation.
The blogger's name is Kagumire...giggity!
Rajoy is just asking for a beatdown from Kamala the Ugandan Warrior. :)
Other than the occational genocide, Uganda is indeed not Spain.
Spain meant to say" we're not Detroit(or any other balck controlled entity)"
The "Insult" Must be Withdrawn or...
Rajoy vs Uganda Chic : Machete's
I like the hair, and teeth.
I can't remember the last time a political dissident was fed to a crocodile in Spain. Maybe Franco would have done this if he had access to crocodiles? Who knows?
Anyways, those Ugandan dudes look happy as Hell dancing around with sticks and feathers in their hair. Maybe if Uganda exported that stuff to Spain, everything would fix itself?
Yep; Spain is not Uganda. Uganda has *much* healthier debt numbers....in fact, it ranks near the bottom of the 200 or so nations (a *good* thing) when it comes to its rankings on these 'bad' data points...:
From the CIA Factbook:
Taxes and other revenues: 15% of GDP (2011 est.)country comparison to the world: 187 Budget surplus (+) or deficit (-): -6.1% of GDP (2011 est.)
country comparison to the world: 172 Public debt: 25% of GDP (2011 est.)
country comparison to the world: 106
21.8% of GDP (2010 est.)
HERE'S A HEALTH NUMBER FOR YOU:LIFE EXPECTANCY SPAIN 82.3 yrs. UGANDA 47.0! YOU CHOOSE DUMBASS.
Uganda has learned from its past. Europe I wonder about.
Uganda make this stuff up.
