Ketsana: Philippine Typhoon Leaves 72 Dead And Missing
Commented Sep 27, 2009 at 12:40:54 in World
“Not today, indeed, not today--with government officials' raison d' etre is to line up their pockets with the taxpayers' money--and to hell with the people. The present state of affairs there makes me vomit. The Calamity Fund has been sucked up dry by Arroyo et al. No wonder the rescue efforts were tentative at best. I would enjoin those who are inclined, to send their donations to the Red Cross, or to a Non-Government Organization--never to the government. Hopefully, with Noynoy Aquino as president next year, the Philippines will recoup all that it has lost.”

“I agree strongly about the corruption. It is so entrenched that I doubt if Noynoy Aquino can change that. Her late mother and former President too had all the right motives and herself was not corrupt. She even led a relatively simple life. But she was powerless to stop the corruption and failed to institute basic social reforms that would have provided the basis for sustained economic development. What I hope from Noynoy or anyone who becomes the next President is at least to bring Arroyo and her ilk to justice without hope of pardon.”
A Missed Opportunity for Democracy
Commented Aug 08, 2009 at 14:07:35 in World
“It was a huge mistake to receive Arroyo in the first place. But God is good because that visit by Arroyo came to naught because President Corazon Aquino got the upper hand. A contrast between a hero and a heel.”
The Housewife Who Changed the World

“Thank you, Senator Lugar for the excellent piece on our beloved leader, President Corazon Aquino. And I know that you have been a champion of the of the Filipino people in the restoration of democracy there--which is sadly in peril again, with the wicked machinations of Gloria Arroyo and her cabal. Good if the lady has an iota of the greatness that President Aquino possessed, but, heavens, she is called Marcos Lite, and is rotten to the core. Which makes me think that the Republicans walk the talk, when it comes to protecting democracy; whereas the Democrats just pay lip service. Or pray tell why President Obama of late received Gloria 'Marcos Lite" Arroyo in the White House? I hope to lecture her on preserving term limits instituting good governance.”

A Fellow Gary Native and Ex-Motown Recording Artist Remembers the King of Pop

“Hmmm, you were a recording artist, Mr. Deggans? How was radio then, was it as monolithic as today, say, held-by-the-balls by Clear Channel? As in, if you are an independent artist, as opposed to being under a major label, you literally go through the eye of the needle, just to have a few spins/plays of your record/single, if at all. That's the sad state-of-affairs now. It is as if only the major labels are under God's protection. Now that Michael Jackson is THERE, may he and his spirit be the patron of independent artists? I pray so!”

“I must say that, having lived there, Sydney is the most beautiful city in the developed world. In the delveloping world, however, Harare (pre-Mugabe atrocities) is tops. Second to Sydney in glory is Vancouver, Canada. Third is Hamburg, Germany. Sorry, no city in the U.S. ever qualifies!”

“Why is Harare better than Bulawayo with Matopas? I'd rather live in Livingstone, more than that Maputo is stunning. Hamburg is stunningly beautiful, more bridges I think, than any other city in the world, but it's not Berlin. Sorry. And what about Cape Town?”

Clinton Reassures China US Is A Good Investment

“See? Hillary Clinton has become Obama's not-so-secret weapon. And who sez Clinton is not a team player, that she has her own agenda? It is as plain as the light of day that her agenda is none other than America's betterment. And I hope that her efforts are not too late, considering what Soros and Volcker have posited, i.e., that the world is now at a depression bigger than the one in 1929.”

“Just wait, pretty soon it's going to be "Obama's war in Iraq", "Obama's war in Afghanistan", "Obama's failed economy", etc. The Rethugs will use these talking points and re-engineer people's memory. They are great at running campaigns, smearing their opponents with blatent lies, and re-branding bad policies to make them more palatable, it's just too bad they can't govern. Are they still calling Obama a "terrorist" or a "socialist" (okay, they use the latter less often, anyway)?”

“The taxpayers, having just gone through the wasteful and ineffective bailouts, will not condone the same old, same old. The package, as presently constituted, does not have the wherewithtal for entrepeneurs, who are the backbone of any economy, and who hire the workers. Therefore, the extant bill must be voted down, else amended to whittle down entitlement programs and go full throttle on small and medium-scale entrepreneurship.”
