OF CHICKENS AND CHATTING

WOOHOO! Since the price of chickens is on the rise (latest read: RM7/- per kilo), we might as well chat about it, especially with the powers that be are going to invest a healthy dollop of casholas on communication facilities and internet access. Dont get me wrong, but this is a good thing isnt it? I mean, in this day and age of rising costs of living, instead of just experiencing it personally, we can share it with others! Woohoo! We just wonder where the P in "priority" disappeared to ...

Our Tun is in the papers again. He is 83 years old and alone to fend of massive attacks by the powers that be. And yet, he seems to be taking it in his stride. Explaining each and every slings and arrows with a certain calmness and glaring intelligence. And I tend to agree with him when he mentioned in his blog that the claim by the judge about his 'veiled threats' is a respite / decoy taking away the attention from the shocking oil hike. I suppose to the powers that be, our Tun is a convenient distraction / scape goat. But they tend to forget, this distraction can bite back. And from what we've last seen, he has teeth. Sharp ones. Kudos to our Tun for his bravery and tenacity in putting forth what is most needed by us Malaysians in these troubled (and troubling) times.

My questions for the day is, therefore: why are we so jumbled up? Why are we not listening to reason? Why cant we use out little grey cells to see what is and what is not? Why are we so delusional?
