...over the past three years, Malabo has been transformed. Office buildings have shot up, hotels and banks have opened, and foreigners - once a novelty in Malabo - now cram the town's fancy new restaurants. There's so much construction, joke the locals, that if you open your mouth and stick out your tongue someone is likely to build on it. The source of this economic boom can be found buried beneath the nearby ocean floor.

Once that’s done, it’s time to contort his face into a vacuous expression, usually some combination of raised eyebrows, yawning mouth, and furrowed brow. And now that George W. has been transformed into Curious George, the simian storybook character, it is essential to insult his intelligence.
