We the Bumbling: Do our politicians not even understand self interest?

Hours after one thought of voting for the BJP, one hears that the Advani and Rajnath Singh missed the all party meet convened by the PM because they were busy campaigning in Rajasthan. I say Mr Advani, why are you trying so hard to turn voters away from your party? The best campaigning would have been to attend that meet and playing the role of the opposition leader by taking the government to task and contributing constructively towards an action plan. On the other hand Vilasrao takes actor son and director Ram Gopal Varma to see the Taj devastation. Additionally, RR Patil, thinks small issues keep on happening in big cities.

Really, why do politicians in our country like to stick their head up their own ass with such amazing regularity, across party boundaries, I must add.

In other news, the Congress matriarch Sonia and the patriarch-heir, her son Rahul, are beating up all the incompetent mongrels that form the Government of India, especially the one named Shivraj, bad dog, no home ministry bone for you...

Update: And I forgot to mention how the Chief Ministers V.S. Achuthanandan and Narendra Modi were turned away.

Whom do I vote for?

Do I vote for the incompetent Congress government that failed to act on intelligence related to Mumbai attacks (and other countless let downs) or do I vote for the BJP that sees terrorism through communal goggles and are also responsible for freeing terrorists during the Khandahar hijack incident (and other countless let downs)? For lack of a better option I think I may settle for voting for the BJP just to give them a chance again.

Bail out Fail

So big car company CEOs travelled to Washington in corporate Jets to ask for a bialout :-) and several Congress members pointed out the irony. "Security reasons" pat came the reply. The logic behind going overboard on security for a top company boss typically is that if he/she gets harmed the business gets fucked up. However, in this case the business is already fucked up, isn't it?

Friendly off the field...

So much was said by our friendly Aussie cricketers about how they play real hard on the field and then off the field they are soft and cuddly teddy bears. I wonder in the midst of all the on field hard play when did they manage to sneak in their book writing hobbies :-)

As luck would have it they got bowled out cheaply in the first innings against New Zealand. But again as luck would have it they are playing New Zealand. One of the few sides that can manage to under perform just about any sides. I say, hey New Zealand, show us a miracle, get the salt, the wounds are ripe for rubbing it in.. let your dear Aussie friends have it. I assure you I will gloat.
