In A Nutshell

No fun, no?
So a recent trip to the media centre for the Green Team was most edifying. A reporter from this ole rag was ushered into a room for an interview and noticed this here sign in admonishing capitals. “NO GOSSIP HERE” it said sternly.
And the reporter was most disappointed. After all, this ole rag thrives on the gossip, no?
Wonder whether the sign was put up especially for us? Hmmmm?

Crossing the Blue Divide
Kiri Boy was chatting to us rag writers when he said he had a serious issue to highlight. He said the Sirasa Pradeshiya Sabha members were agitating to be allowed to elect the Green Team leader. Kiri Boy explained that there were 1500 Pradeshiya Sabha Green Team members. “Unfortunately, 400 are now working with the government, and haven’t been sacked,” he said earnestly. Kiri Boy then said that if they tried to stop the 400 from voting, they would simply put an injunction and demand their vote. Small problem, no, Kiri Boy???

Food For Thought
Wee-Flower was a lucky boy. For no less than dear old Prez himself drove all the way to the UN office to hold a glass of water to his lips with a wistful look reminiscent of a Roman masterpiece. And of course Wee-Flower gulped to end his fast. Meanwhile the Moon chap didn’t stir or blink an eyelid. Wee-Flower gave Moon Boy one condition before he would stop the fast; disband the advisory panel – all in the name of saving the troops and the country, of course. Yet he still ended the fast with no conditions fulfilled. Word is, he has transferred the conditions to dear old Prez instead, and added a few more for good measure! Hmmm!

Ch… ch… Changes!
And the changes to the constitution keep changing. First Executive President, then Executive Prime Minister… Perhaps we’ll be having Executive Super Minister soon. At this rate, maybe we’ll just end up with an Executive.

But no one is asking the 40 million dollar question – will this Executive type have a term limit or be accountable to Parliament? Don’t ask us!

By Air or by land?
And the shiny helicopters carrying minister types and dear old Prez went up and down 10 times. But those in the know said the best joke was that the security and back up went by road instead. So, no need to be safe in the air eh? Guess not, evidenced by that grinning photo of our Benevolent Leader as he alights from the chopper.
Oh well, double the fun (and cost) for everyone, no? Ha ha!!
