Important judicial news
July 22, 2004
The House of Representatives has passed a bill, for review by the Senate, which, if passed into law, gives existing laws invulnerability to judicial review on the Federal level. Activist congress!

Busy day
July 21, 2004
Practically no blogging from me today; there is a family gathering here that involves at least forty people and I have been cooking since 1pm. I will note the most convoluted sentence that came out of my fast fingers while chatting with a friend last night. I have been trying to attend regular dinner meetings… Continue reading this entry

Today was a lazy day for photography, as I have been writing like a bat out of hell. My small lava lamp. Click on the small picture to get a bigger one at 640 pixels wide (10+KB)
Myself and comments
July 20, 2004
I, like most bloggers, welcome comments on my site. In fact, as much as my closed-door writing can encourage them. However, I am not a fan of reading comments at other people’s blogs. I go to a blog to read its posts, not the responses to them. If I think that I need to share… Continue reading this entry
Who needs the Philippines now, anyway?

The Thirteenth Law Of Power: When asking for help, appeal to people’s self-interest, never to their mercy or gratitude. So writes Robert Greene in his book. One very interesting e-mail that I got over the weekend was a flimsy “defense” of Filipinos in general apropos of their President’s capitulation to terrorists. Written by Michael Tan… Continue reading this entry
What you can do, but should not
July 20, 2004
Podz, at Weblog Tools Collection, has had it with the whiners who complain about WordPress’ PHP base by designing the funkiest ever WordPress blog. If you think that <?php a**_f*cking_here(); ?> is much harder than <$MTA**F*cking$>, then you can avoid the difficulties altogether by merely editing the CSS file. Podz’ example comes with a sunglass… Continue reading this entry
The most boring low blow in political discourse
July 20, 2004
The award with which this post is titled has got to go to intra-racial race-baiting. Like crabs in a basket, when groups of people of the same skin color (or nation of ancestry, or “race” ) bait each other as self-loathing. I’m gonna let my brass balls hang with this opinion, so if you hate… Continue reading this entry
Sandy Berger slugfest party
July 20, 2004
I was inclined to assume incompetence over malice for Sandy Berger and his stuffed pants, until his socks were, reportedly, stuffed too. More than the matter of this matter, I find much more interesting the huge party (go through Doc Joyner’s links) we on the Right seem to be throwing over this. Let us stop… Continue reading this entry
Happy bunnies and muezzin calls

Tita Gloria is in a pre-USS Cole state of mind: “We must rejoice at the good news, but our happiness must be tempered by the awareness that we live in dangerous times and that we must work to create a more peaceful world,†Mrs. Arroyo said. — AP for the Manila Times Maybe her idea… Continue reading this entry
