In a Sea of Troubled Waters

Today's Inter:Lude offers a mix of Politics, a li'l Questioning, and a Poetic rendition to help you through the troubled waters. There has been lots of venom and arsenic thrown into the Malaysian atmosphere, including the blogosphere, in recent weeks (Or was it months?). Elegant War, or perhaps not so serious, Sandiwara, is being waged, or is put on steady exhibition ... so that the Public Joe may find entertainment away from the astrophere. It's offered Al*most free at the PWTC and on cyberspace.

The flies and insects would die within seconds or minutes on exposure to such venom and toxins in the air. But humans, unfortunately, do not. The misfortune lies in the fact that the good Lord does not yield instant gratification of Death after these mortals have had enjoyed all the luxuries of gratification of high office and abuse, normally away from the gaxe of Citizen Keen or Ken. Yes, sometimes poetic justice comes from Above after all else on the GooDEarth fails. Death visits slow but sure, death for the likes of ....... I wanted to use "ilk' and fill in the blanks, but I guess the judgement is best left to the Almighty above. But if you wanna play gawd, fill in the blanks-lah, Desi can't stop thee. After all, Malaysia is still a free wordl, and it has moved up substantially the World Press Freedom Index. I can't say for the Empty Stomach Index though after reading the past week of some poor school-children in Sabah, or isit Sarawak? getting by with just one meal a day. While some monkeys in a certain royal town do a song and dance saying I'm not the only one doin' It.

If any ER asks Desi what It stands for, I'm not goin' to be friendly on this Sabbath Sundae, please go stand in That Korner! If you ask further what the Korner is, Get thy butt outa of here, OR Go contact Sisdar Helen!:) My PR managAr -- See 3A*.


I pray the arsenic does not reach your arse. So get some protection. Desi does not wear Prada. I wear tampoons -- Please NORE the double O!:) it's a combo of tamborine and lampoon(c)desi! --nowadays.

'Remarks by ex-PM don’t affect me’Category: General Posted by:
The Star

SEREMBAN: “Baseless” – is how deputy Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin described the comments made recently by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.


Yes, all the blardy remarks don't affect any of the Players on the PWTC Stage, but hey, the Ecopnomy is heading South, and Citizen Keen or Ken is affected. IMMENSELY.

Zam: Dr M is epitome of his ‘forget easily’ saying

SUNGAI PETANI: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s criticism that Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s administration had created a “climate of fear” is a reflection of “his era of dictatorship,” said Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin.

Yes, people forget easily, icluding the electorate majority who keep complaining about te Barisan Nasional government, but each time they went to the polls, they marked against the DACING.How do you define this work, MASOOCHISM?

The NST, Oct 29, 2006:

HEAT'S ON ZAKARIA
(Turn up the temperatures to arse-burning, or better still, intestine-dismembering, so some Councillors remember)

'Resign or face the sack'

(About time; and not just as Councillor in the most advanced prescinct in the county, also as only and sole First World state in NegaraKu's State Assemblyman!)



Doses of venom

Cobra (elegantly silent) or rattle-snake (you hear it s-miles away)?

Can we ask the Snakes to Play It Again, Sam!
For Olde Times' Sake.
This last one is inspired as lust night I watched CASABLANCA once again, and As Time Goes By ... steal lingers in the arsenic-laced aire...~~ DESi

Calm Faces
(by my fave Poet)

Work well done and its just reward,
sunshine, rest and love -- these are the
desiderata of happiness. In one fashion or
anpther we wee them somewhere afar
in our path; and the vision keeps us in good
humour with the world and with
ourselves. "Sometime," we say, :we shall
come to our own -- sometime." And
meanwhile life grows stiller and stiller,
rebellion settles to submission, great
ambitions turn to simple things. Though we
have been roughly awakened from
the intoxication of youth's enchanted
visions, if we have learned our lesson well,
may we still find a cheering ray of light
in the shadows of evening, and go with calm
faces among our neighbours and our friends.
