Swine of the week ending 5/31/2009

Given the slow season after the Elections most of our country's leaders have quietened. However one party the DMK has chosen to put its foot forward in a series of aggressive moves aimed at organizational control.
For this I present your Swine of this week:

Stalin (like is name alike) removed all of his competition to control the DMK lead government in Tamil Nadu. He moved his brother Azhagiri and cousin Maran to the Cabinet. He also moved his sister Kanimozhi out of contention. The one person who by virtue of experience stood between him and the throne, veteran K. Anbazhagan was forced to step down. This alleged serial rapist and violent criminal should have been behind bars long time ago and escaped prison due to his father's good offices. Even recently when a corruption case was hoisted against him, one of his assistants "committed suicide". The media has been forced to give up its investigations against this criminal through illegal means.
Jackass of the week There were, not surprisingly, many contenders for this week's title. But the one who took the cake is Abhinav Chandrachud. His defense of the terrorist Kasab shows the levels NGO's stoop to given their agenda.
Thanks all for your suggestions. Looking forward to next week.

In today's news - DMK farce, Mayawati's charge and others

In what has become a real farce(or fast?) the DMK's opportunistic support to the Tamil cause after months of fighting which coincides with the elections reached a pinnacle with the CM Mr. Karunanidhi conducting a hunger fast after breakfast. And called it off just before lunch. All this came and went when the Sri Lankan Govt. had already given signs that it was going to call a ceasefire.
Look at the photo below, Mu Ka surrounded by his wives, confidants, security, Air Conditioned comfort and servants and medical staff.
I'm sure Gandhi did not have the same idea when he started doing his Satyagrahas. BTW where was this action hero Mu Ka when thousands of civilians were brutally killed in a genocide by the Sinhalese army?


In other news Mayawati rightly complains that the Congress has unfairly looted the country for 61 years. According to her,

the Congress responsible for poverty and unemployment in the country and said if the BSP is voted to power at the Centre it would focus on the welfare of the “sarv samaj.

Yup, she and her BSP goons would redistribute the wealth from Congress pockets to her purse. Thanks Maya memsaab.

And in a search for Mummies in Egypt the tomb diggers found some... tombs!
Dr. Zahi Hawass pre-eminent archeologist in his usual style said,

there is someone important buried in the temple.

Which means it could be anyone from Cleopatra to her maid servant to her cat. Importance is quite relative and in the ever moving desert that is Egypt no one really knows.

The Christian church in Kerala has thrown its weight behind the communists by starting labour forums for all workers. Not sure if the leaders of these churches know that one of communism's primary goals is the abolition of religion.
