UMNO Knows Money May Not Buy Luv Butt...

Yesterday, for the PAS, seemed so far away; and that's borrowed from da Beetles.
For the more enowed UMNO, they also sing another mop-haired tune called Money Can't Buy Me Luv, BUTT...

RM1mil to fulfil Barisan pledges
Money to be spent on development

THe above is NOT from my fav group, the Beatles, nor from YL Chong
He's only minister of HomeFinance, not National Treasury.

The Star, page 10, Dec 9, 2005 reports:

PASIR MAS: More good news came to Penkalen Pasir assemblyman
Hanafi Mamat following his by-election victory on Tuesday.
The Prime Minister's Department has allocated RM1mil for him
to carry out works on the problems the people had highlighted
during campaigning.
The money would go towards repairing homes of the poor and
on drainage and widening of narow roads.

Hey, I'm not your steno-sexcretary reading you the morning news - go spend RM1.20 on a hard copy of The People's Paper (really?). Save on a cuppa of tehtarik or kopi-kau-cow, da News, or even rumouring, is gooder for you. You here does not include Desi, I'm most time so flushed with money I only see the dollar sign.
Billionaire by 27!

Now to my ANSWER to yesterday's (seems so far-away to Desi2! No one took on the challengiA! -- hence some of MGF deserve my lambasting -- Lazy, Not-so-ignorant-and-insignificant Cowws!)

Yesterday2: So for starters, Desi (today) will tease with his Shortest Political Commentary Ever!

Definition of "news": when Dog bites Man, that is not news;
when Man bites Dog, that is "news".

Stretching it further: when Goliath slays an army, that is not news;
when David slays Goliath, that is "news".

Stretch thy imagination a li'l: ChallengiA Politikus -- why Desi has for the past 2 days not whispered a word on Pengkalan Pasir?

Pick from the following:
(1) It's not "news"

(2) UMNO promised the Good Life on Earth

(3) PAS promised Heaven in the Thereafter

ANSWER: final dan muktamak!
Bro IMp -- isit Murtabak or Muktamak?
I hadn't had my BF,
and sundae-CON one is so far-away!

ALL THE THREE ANSWERS apply!

da rationale:

(1) It's not "news" as in accord with If Dog Bites Thee, it's NOT news.
If Desi bites Lassie (my goodness! was I that hungry, or angry?), that's news!
At least frontpage,on (bl)Doggers' sites!
(2) The Star item just (or isit jest?) CONFIRMS that:
UMNO promised the Good Life on Earth

(3) You steal don't kNOw?Desi is givin' up (Sab's stylo...)
Yes: PAS promised Heaven in the Thereafter

"Starting Afresh after a Defeat


The BN win in the Kelantan by-election should not be surprising given the vast resources of the BN machinery.

It was reported that the DPM spent six days campaigning – I just wonder if he took annual leave or going on the political trail on taxpayers’ monies is considered an acceptable practice for Malaysians..."


So crestfallen Desi issues edict: no prize, no tehtarik, no Da Spring H2O from FuRong, NO DEVELOPMENT FUNDS IF YOU VOTE da opposition at Desi's Place!

I know it's not livin' up to
Friday's Child spirit of "winning at love", they say. I dunno who "they" is, do you?
:
PRIZE: Give you more tutorials on Journalism 101! Free-wat!
Looks like Desi's tutorials on Journalism 101 are not laku!
Let's see, I'd better concentrate on my 'ollywood blockbustierer script!



SPECIAL POSTSCRIPT:... SPECIAL TRIBUTE

Imagining Lennon

25 years after death, his songs remain strong in hearts and minds

By Fred Shuster, Music Writer




John Lennon's music continues to stir generations of listeners, many of whom were born in the years since the Beatles broke up, and his signature is instantly recognizable 25 years after his death.
In the beginning, Lennon performed cover versions of '50s rock 'n' roll before finding a writing partner in Paul McCartney, whom he met at a church picnic in 1957. The pair quickly began churning out originals that would strike a chord around the world.

The duo essentially stopped composing together in 1965, but because of contractual and personal arrangements, their individual songs were credited to Lennon and McCartney. But it remained clear whose song was whose. Lennon was plainly the instigator of such inward-looking Beatles classics as "Norwegian Wood," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "In My Life," "Julia" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away."

The mark of those songs and such post-Beatles tracks as "Imagine" and "Working Class Hero" is the sincerity of Lennon's voice and an inclusive sense that we know as much as he does. Rarely maudlin, he didn't insult the intelligence.

Lennon continues to fascinate: Three new books on the ex-Beatle are just out: "Lennon Revealed" by friend Larry Kane, "Memories of John Lennon" edited by Yoko Ono and "John Lennon: The New York Years" by photographer Bob Gruen. Lennon's story is also told in the new Beatles biography by Bob Spitz, and his post-Beatles music was showcased this year in the Broadway show "Lennon."

Tributes today include a gathering of Lennon fans at 6 p.m. in front of Capitol Records in Hollywood. And his legacy will be celebrated with a four-hour "Lennon Live" concert at 11 a.m. today on Sirius Satellite Radio, featuring performances by Dave Matthews, Paul Weller, Jamie Cullum, Dr. John, Daryl Hall, Stereo MCs and Lulu originating from London's Abbey Road Studios and the Sirius studios in New York.

Also marking the 25th anniversary of his death is a covers project organized by Amnesty International to feature the Cure, Black Eyed Peas, Snow Patrol, the Postal Service and Avril Lavigne.

Desi: A minute slience in memory of a truly iconic youngman who died at his prime. Not a prime day - Dec 8.
