WHEE! WHEE! WHEE!
AFTER THAT BRIEF INTERMISSION, BACK TO WORK...
It seems my plot to ignore the Gloriagate impeachment crisis to death FINALLY worked. After 24 hours of deliberation in Congress (probably the hardest those fatsos ever worked in their life), all three impeachment raps against the Midget have finally been thrown out. WHEEE!
And if I am being insensitive to any pseudo-righteous citizens out there, my sincerest apologies. Please allow me to offer a heartfelt "I'm sorry" to all the transparent hacks on the TV news networks wearing black and white, as well as to you armchair radicals expressing your indignation on the web/newspapers, and to you poor fools marching up and down Commonwealth Avenue with those two attention seeking widows.
I'm really sorry that you wasted your time.
But now that things have come to a head and a constitutional decision has been made, please stop wasting ours. It's time for all of us to stop politicking and get back to work. Congress also has better things to do. Ever since this mess started, they accumulated a whopping backlog of 400 bills which still need to be addressed and passed. Enough damage has been done. We need to stop gazing at our navels and truly address the problems which surround us. Locally and internationally. I can't believe we spent most of these weeks looking at those ugly mugs in congress while New Orleans slipped into oblivion. It's time to get our priorities right.
And to do so, we must all accept these cold hard facts:
A)The impeachment complaints were without basis (it was such a flawed document to begin with; trying to pin too many things on GMA was a poor move. It totally smacked of hidden agendas).
B)Accusations DO NOT equate guilt. (See Solita Monsod article on this here).
C)Cory Aquino is completely irrelevant and is not, has not, and will never be the moral barometer of the Philippines.
D)There is NO alternative to GMA. FPJ and Roco are both dead in case you didn't notice. And she also had nothing to do with that either, ok?
and finally:
D) WE JUST DON'T CARE if she cheated in the elections. Who didn't?
Now excuse me, while I try to improve our economy by going to the mall to shop for new shoes. Ta!

Carlos,
My sentiments exactly! One could almost see the words "hidden agenda" written all over the foreheads of some of the congressmen there while they were going over their speeches (tsk tsk.. and to think I had high regard for some of them once...). What are your thoughts on Chiz Escudero (did I get the spelling right?)?
Lastly, when will you visit and dine in this place called A Taste of LA? It's along Roces Ave., a few steps from T. Morato. My friend and I tried Uno out last weekend and we didn't know what to make of the limited (few, rather) selections in the menu. Chicken was superb, though. So was the creme brulee. The lamb (that one you once recommended?) was taken out of the menu. Sayang.
Ya, I went back and noticed the lamb gone too. Sigh. My dog was upset. But uno is still a really great place in terms of bang for buck. Never been to taste of LA though. I will now. Thanks for the shout out.
And as for the impeachment blah blah. Thank god its over. It was getting truly boring. And as for "Cheese" Escudero. Yes. That is the spelling believe it or not. So young. Yet so corrupted. It shows on his face.
Yes, I too am VERY glad that Gloriagate is finally over. Really, it was a waste of my time.
I must say, a really big sign that it NEVER should have been is the color YELLOW. That is just so 10 years ago. Can we please buy a ticket and step forward.
Same goes for Black & White. Although I love the combination, it too must go.
Now, should we say the same for ANC? Is it just me or through this whole mess, their slip has been showing?
So, we don't drink any non-fat latte at People Power Monument in Edsa those coming days ? I am sure a yellow barong would really suits you. I'll take your picture ! :-)
Yellow barongs make me look like an oversized duck.
Wont be anywhere near those two whining widows and their mindless groupies thats for sure.
hear hear, a toast to the impeachment's overdue demise! president pikachu should now waste no time in getting the chacha through before next year's complaint is filed.
i really hope we go unicameral, so Cheese Escudero and Company's efforts to get themselves in the Senate will all be for naught.
just watched ronaldo zamora walking in yesterday's rally... now THAT's an oversized duck!
What they should have done was to use her own admission (that she called Garci) as the basis for impeachment. There's no need to argue that the calls were improper, since the President admits to that, too. I'm guessing, though, that in a civilized country that'd be enough grounds.
They were improper. But im not quite sure if its an impeachable offense though.. Hmmm. Good question.
amen. i second the cheese comment. the guys 15 minutes are up.
