The
nuptials
˙When
green tunic Gay-antha from Galle tied the knot at the Plaza in
Colombo last Wednesday, a significant invitee to the costly do was
none other than Satty herself. But the Prez opted out of the do. Her
missive said she is still in mourning following the wave attack on
Boxing Day. However, cautioning the newly wed, one saucy wretch of a
former Gampaha tunic-coat declared Satty had plans that would all be
bared come referendum time. Tsunami or no tsunami she would sure
make a show, pole-vaulters and all. Aha!
The
wedding black
The
wedding unfortunately coincided with the month's remembrance of the
tsunami. Champagne flowed, aromatic food platters were served, there
was good cheer and soft music, but amidst all, was one blot all in
black. In black national dress was the infamous dentist from
Kalu-tara. None bothered to ask if he had taken a cue from Satty
herself. But the doc we hear was in mourning too for all those
tsunami victims on Boxing Day. Good show ole boy!
The
diplo-mutt
Who
is the diplo-mutt making big bucks outside what is on offer from the
ministry that is foreign?
News
is trickling in that this diplo-mutt who is keen to bring about a
rapprochement between the blues and the greens has been paid a
monthly 5,000 smackers of the dollar kind by a business type just to
keep him going.
Little
wonder that he wants to marry the two sides - so that he may live
happily ever after.
Seeing
Red
In
the far-flung fishing village in Kathaluwa, poor fishermen began
protesting that one month after being ravaged by the sea, they have
not received promised crumbs - despite the goodwill that is flowing
into this ole isle. They yelled for all to hear they have been
reduced from fishermen to IDPs and now are beggars no less. Then
drove in the cub legislator from the red camp - Aj-eet Ku-maara,
fretting and fuming that his constituents dare throw mud on his
manthri self by holding placards and shouting slogans and asked them
to beat it. Until he next needs their vote. Cheeky eh?
Celebration
time
Trooping
into Kalmunai en masse to play politics just one month after the sea
ravaged with relief funds was second in command Ma-hinder, blue sec
Mythreepala, loud mouth Wee-flower and red sec Till-win. A paltry
15,000 smackers were on offer for each bereaved family. Thus they
all trooped around. And there was Ma-hinder proudly announcing he
was dishing out money to celebrate a historic political event. The
formation of a crazy coalition between the blues and the reds. How
the darned tsunami missed these stupid schmucks only the gods can
tell!
Cross
Purposes
Bookiepala
is certainly out to make a name for himself riding piggy-back on the
tsunami. So much so the schmuck was miffed that Murali, Sanath and
Kumar Sanga may just get some credit for all their hard work with
the victims. "Lay off" he ordered the stars. But the boys
have protested saying they are not interested in personal gain, but
purely helping in the name of human kindness. Wake up boys!
Bookiepala does not speak the same language!
The
Wizard
Usually
a country's head says all the right things to promote the state's
image. But not Satty. Speaking on Cee En En she uttered a gem saying
when the tsunami struck she rushed home cause in this part of the
world there is not many people who can think. "I had to do
all" she said, adding she used three mobile phones
simultaneously in the process. Dear! Dear! With pundits like this is
it no wonder this ole isle is nothing but a blasted banana republic!
Disaster
mismanagement
But
the reds have sure got it right after all, yelling that Satty's task
forces are nothing but a sham.
Heading the TF's are two of Satty's dear friends Tara and
Mano. So bally industrious are the two, letters were dispatched post
haste to an agent and two additional ones on post tsunami process.
The hitch? One guy is retired while the other two are
overseas. Just proves how well the TFs are coordinating and running
the show, eh? Hmm.
