Living it up
The
reformed striped kind, Murali alias Kind Amman now
crowned with a ministerial portfolio was certainly in
the mood to shake a leg last Saturday eve.
Having
donned a brilliant orange displaying his sartorial
elegance, the terrorist turned politico hit the dance
floor at the Library of Trans fame with an entourage of
15 faithfuls while his bodyguards kept a close watch.
Murali swayed, did a twist, a quick step and a baila
holding a female companion in his amorous arms and later
picked up a cool bill of 50, 000 smackers that included
four bottles of all that cheers. Talk about living it up
despite global recession!
Show of gratitude
The
Presidente is a man flying high, marketing military
victories to the hilt and little else but Lady Fortune
seems to smile upon him at every turn. Having shared the
kevun and kiribath post New Year shoulder to shoulder
with the military types in Kili the one time Tiger
terrain, the Prez quickly sought to take political
mileage when he appeared on an electoral platform next.
Prez
was heard urging the city types to show gratitude for
defeating the Striped kind by converting gratitude to
votes come April 25. If nothing else, that's pitching
the war to the urban electorate, Medamulana style!
Taxation blues
Just
as the Chief Exec knows how to sell his war to the
unsuspecting masses, he also knows how to make them
scrape the barrel bottoms and cough up vital smackers to
keep the depleted exchequer running. So a host of new
taxes on onions and sprats to others and one to build
this failed nation were all approved in the House by the
Diyawanna last week just so that additional bucks may be
forthcoming. So tighten your belts graciously ye folks.
After all, people get not just the governments they
deserve but also the taxes it seems. Ouch!!
Home truths
There
was pandemonium at the House by the Diyawanna last week
over the slaying of a JVP comrade with the red brethren
breathing fire and crying foul. A cheeky green
legislator from Kuru-negala, Kind- siri was heard
quipping tongue in cheek, 'what about the thousands the
reds sent to an early grave during the height of an
insurgency and all this silence over civilians dying
miserable deaths trapped in the Wanni too?'
Home
truths won't make one a popular young man, nay not now!
Begging bowl
Cab-raal
is going around with the begging bowl having said that
this Emerald Isle won't be affected by the economic
crisis that plagues the entire world. Last week the man
was in Uncle Sam requesting 1/9 billion smackers of
their kind to cushion the paradisian economy. Hmm
