the game name, err, game the name, err, the name game...

now, channelnews-asia just reported that world rice prices has just gone down as exporters had an oversupply of the grain. vietnam, one of the chief exporters of the staple has reduced its rice prices together with some other exporters while indonesia; an archipelago which has never exported its rice produce eversince, now self-sufficient with its rice outputs; is now ready to sell its excess rice overseas.

its funny how the cost of local rice has started to climb up quietly when global price of rice has gone down. and the government vowed just a few months ago to to deliver cheaper grains. aren't we starting to realize that its a totally different world out here?

there's a big, big show programmed this thursday at the senate. a guy who has something, err no, a huge thing to do with agriculture will appear before the senate blue ribbon and agriculture committees to explain how and where did an ENOOOORMOUUUUS amount of public funds appropriated for fertilizers went missing. funds believed to be redirected to the administration's campaign pool in the 2004 elections.

now wait, didn't we see this before? didn't we see garciliano and neri negate all allegations by saying: "it's not me, garci is not me" or "i didn't say that, i didn't say the president was evil". isn't this the same movie we saw twice already? isn't this the farcical scene where a bunch of second-rate comics gang up on a funnier clown who is simply a dummy of an even greater clown where the story ends with... the beat up clown goes off the hook, goes away scott-free, runs in elections or gets to be designated as head of CHED or any other comic-stage of a government agency. i got a feeling, this time around, the scene will end with the clown at the center of the story delivers his punchline by yelling "JOC-JOC-JOKE!".

truly, there is no business like showbizness.

there's another clown in the news today who has made public his intention to run for the presidency in 2010 and you bet, he's quite a goof. he's a good clown, in fact, he doesn't need clown make up or anything. he's like what maybelline models say "born with it".

the 60-something makati mayor associates himself with the newly elected US president by using the pet name "Jojobama". i thought it was just jobama as one jo is repulsive already, but like one wasn't repugnantly contemptible enough they had to extend it to Jojobama. good thing they didn't think of mojo-jojo-banana-rama-bama. or Jojo-jojo-fojojo-banana-fana-bojojo-fee-fay-momojo-jojo. 'cause that would have been a problem 'cause there won't be enought space in the ballot for those names. and voters would likely vote for the other candidates if you require them to spell those.

has he ever thought how would the real Obama feel when he learns about this? he might say: "ok, first my father gave me this dull name, now this guy is gonna use it for his gain. why don't he use Barrack instead. doesn't Bina(y)-Barrack sound better? that's swahili for loser, by the way". "why am i always the target of correlation of these publicity-hungry filipinos? first it was gloriah macapalgal-arrowyow, now it's Jeyjowmarr Beenay"

Macapalgal, err...Macapagal-arrowyow's congratulatory calls were reportedly disregarded by Obama twice that she is forced to go to chicago at a time Obama is in town to get him to acknowledge and recognize her. though, arrowyow doesn't wanna show the world that she is trying to get his attention by saying she's there to attend some sort of a gathering. but she intends to get Obama to meet her and shake hands with her and get harassed by her and get enlightened that she has a special kinship with Obama until she feels she and Obama are ready to forget their spouses already and you decide what's next.

and she's not gonna stop unless he has openly included her in his list of network friends in his friendster profile.

there was a news report about Obama not noticing macapagal-arrowyow even when she actually smashed into Obama after her hand waving didn't work while Obama's car was driving by. Obama reacted by whining to his security details about a crazy 50- something female stalker who ran into him.
