Our garrulous senators

QUESTION: How many Philippine senators does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: 24 plus their assistants.

I can only observe with distress why nothing ever gets resolved in this country. Malacañang says they will not attend Senate hearings unless the Senate publishes the rules.

How many debates will we have over radio and television? How many statements to the press will we hear? How many bombastic and self-righteous remarks are we away from resolving this?

Maybe I just have a simple mind, but if the rules are already there, then just publish it so we can get moving on these investigations. Isn’t that the simplest, most direct step to take? Can these supposedly learned and principled men for once just do things right?

Just publish the damn rules and get it over with! What is so difficult with that?

    Your right Ronald, this is also the right time to investigate Jun Lozada for the anomalies he made while he is at Phil Forest. An investigation will surely wipe out that GRIN in his face he always showed in between sobs during his campus tour. What puzzling is we dont know if this GRIN is cause by the satisfaction he got from his mistress in bed? or the satisfaction he felt when he thinks he got away with his corruption. Or was the GRIN a feeling of happiness that the nuns are the now who will support his two families. The guy is a joke, he should be a senator. ha ha ha ha

    ganito ang alam ko: it is said that criminals are the most stupid people on earth. Fact is, I watched a show on television depicting several criminals who got caught during actual perpetrations of different crimes because of their stupidity. They were hilarious in their inanity. Still, I do not agree that these criminals are the densest two-legged talking creatures because they get caught doing crimes. For me the stupidest human beings are some of our government officials who really think and believe they can get away with their crimes forever; these are the kind of stupid people who think they are being able to fool us when they aggrandize themselves monumentally–crudely, at our expense. In their stupidity they become oblivious to the fact that their actions and mischiefs are so transparent and obvious to the public, and they never reckon that eventually there`ll come a time when they, like Estrada, will have to answer for them. What comes up will come down eventually. Nothing stays unchanged! Even pernicious wars that have no end in sight end!
    But their avarice make them insect-minded-literally-not capable to recognize the law of nature–who get lured by lamplights or car headlights despite the danger of eventual destruction and death. They´re blind to that natural and potential future consequence because they are so stupid. Will Abalos and his kind live happily ever after? We´ll see…Let´s tighten our belts further, meanwhile, we´re used to it, anyway. Let´s rejoice for the inescapable truth that the world of these automated uglies is also tightening like a coarse rope on their necks!

    O, yung mga Senate Fanatics diyan eto:
    Pumunta daw sila with some congressmen to South Africa to “study what is poverty”

    Budget: 300,000 thou minimum allowance, of course using business class airlines and 5 star hotel na din sa South Africa. We all know whats in South Africa–Heavenly Leisure. Ironic that it is near the war and famine countries of the continent.

    Eto po ang mga Senador at Congressmen natin, GINAGAWA NILA AY PARA SA BAYAN! Magsasakripisyo sila sa South Africa para pag-aralan ang kahirapan!

    Dagdag ko na din na ginagawa nila ito “in search for the TRUTH!”

    Sige, iboto natin ang mga magagaling na ito sa 2010.
