this is not bitoy's funniest video, stop goofin' around!

last wednesday, another goofy member of the cabinet made a big fuss when he made his "impromptu" opening invocation imploring the president's term be extended. the goofy cabinet member was quick to clarify that his imploration was meant to be a joke adding that he trusts that it was a prayer and that the almighty has a lot of sense of humor. he further added that his boss, the mother of all goofs, had a quite a laugh after their meeting.

while she and all the cabinet members may had a field day at the goofy cabinet member's "joke", some people didn't quite take it the same way.

some presidentiables for instance didn't like the joke at all and were caught flashing their instant reactions to the goofy cabinet member's conduct. here are some of them:


here, vice-president noli de castro didn't quite like listening to the prayer as it was being said. he was ask by the media after wards for some reactions, here is how he felt about it:


sen. loren legarda was asked for some comments and this is what she had to say:

without an iota of doubt, she obviously can't stop herself from laughing.

now ex-senate president manny villar also had this rather stoical reaction.

he later took the floor and made this forecast...


senator lacson also gave this look when ask about the issue...another senat or and presidentiable was asked to comment on the goofy cabinet member's actions. this is what he has to say to him:



another 2010 presidentiable and the former speaker of the house of representative also gave thier reactions on the matter


the former speaker poutingly disapproves the idea

the MMDA chief, in his most enthusiastic manner, dismisses the slant.


the makati mayor, who had just declared his presidential ambition a few days ago, was also ask for his reaction, and he has this to show:

oops! wrong file, everybody! wrong file!

here is the makati mayor's facial retort:

he later had a draw back to a corner somewhere and made this gesture. he appears to be pondering deeply about iteven the newly elected US president had this expression to show about the beseeching for term extension


now, the one who has been quite, yet, the most affected by the invocation all along, shows his displeasure in the strongest and most desperate gesture of disgust he can ever come up. see how the "joke" has emotionally disturbed this guy.


amid all these sad mood, here is one guy who is exultantly celebrating what occurred last wednesday morning.

yeepee!

except for one, all the images in this post say one thing- that term extensions are no laughing matter. and all of us agree. so can somebody tell that goofy press secretary- don't push it!

my deep knowledge of US politics

the US presidential election is all set for next week. that's on Nov 4, Tuesday. and most opinion polls has african-american Senator Obama leading in most states. if surveys are to be trusted, America will have its first black president come January 20, 2009 who wants to reform US's policy in Iraq and terrorism in general.

when that happens, a major change in its policy will be the shifting of its war on terror from the Iraqi front line back to Afghanistan and will now include the Pakistan region.

now, terrorists from that front have been following developments in the US and are enormously unhappy, in fact displeased, with McCain's performance in surveys as an Obama win in this election would mean an end to their break from clashes since the US war against the Taleban. and, boy! are they packing up. in their future attacks, they've decided to have McCain as their sole target.

Iraqi terrorist on the other hand are celebrating as they will be getting a break from the fighting and have vowed to protect Obama in appreciation of his reformist policies.

Obama, BTW, is not the first black to be nominated for US president, and had Hillary Clinton won the democratic nomination she would not have been the first woman either. if you check the history of US presidential elections, on the lines of third parties, you would find Lenora Fulani who ran in 1988 and 1992 under the New Alliance Party. She is African-American.

there are a number of "other nominees" or third parties and indepents in this US Pres'l elections. including those who failed to get a major nomination from either the republican or democratic parties. (yeah! if you can't join them, try to beat them! that's the spirit!)

do you know that even comedian stephen colbert (of "the colbert reports") sought the democratic nomination for this presidential elections? 'bet you don't know that, do you? gov. arnold actually conceded because of this guy, not because he was not natural-born second-to-stallone.
Colbert was just goofing around actually (and arnold took him seriously).

now, how's that for my deep understanding of the US elections?

hah!...
