What Zidane said

If only rejoinders won a match. When Matarezzi grabbed Zidane’s shirt, Zidane had turned around and said “if you really want my shirt, you can have it after the match”. LOL. Matarezzi plagued by memories of neglected childhood and school kids calling him scrawny took this to be “super arrogance” so he shot back with an insult. He says though he didn’t say anything about dirty terrorism, or mothers (because “for me mothers are sacred”). Italian lip readers say it was about sisters. It looks like an issue that Ankh Morpork would have considered headlines. (Incidentally he also said the only terrorist in his life was his 10 month old daughter). I wonder if Zidane ever intends on giving his statement. For the record, for all those out there slighting Zidane for not being big enough to come out on the field post match, a red card disallows any entry on the field including one to receive a cup or medal.(I think, I am not a pro on football, only on Zidane).

While I was stuck in the traffic on Shahra-e-Faisal, resting my head on the door frame and staring glumly at the white corolla in front, the first bomb blast went off in Delhi. Loss of 160 lives. People rushing towards trains and platforms to help out passengers. It makes chilling sense to have two bombs in place then if aim is life loss. The first takes the standing, the second takes more. It’s a curiously sub-continental trait, to rush towards the incident rather than away from it. One gives you perfect logic without moral responsibility and the other is absence of logic overwhelmed with moral responsibility.

While Singaporeans mourn the lack of protest (I would love to get a hold of Mr. Brown’s blog, that primed the government to suspend his printed columns), in Sindh alone the last six months have registered 2816 forms of protest which makes up around 15.14 sctivities of agitation per day. I wish they had given the cause of each protest too, I have a sour feeling that it may just be factions in a party bandying around. O vell. Statistics.

Went to Havana, smoked a cigar I didn't like, I hope B has a better choice next time and downed two large caramel lattes at Espresso. Lovely Espresso man got me Jazz from somewhere while I tried not get annoyed with Septimus in Mrs. Dalloway.Desperately wanted to steal the burnished, Hobbit like wood signs (I think they were to do with golfing) from Havana but the attendent would not leave the B and me alone in the basement for fear we might ruin his comfy leather sofas with torrid sex. Sheesh. In my head right now, I'm choreographing a dance to Pussycat Dolls "Buttons".

King: Given the rather tippled tenor of Pervez’s bosom buddies, I doubt if the torrid sex would ever be an issue. Neither would Pussycat Dolls, unless his electoral modjo, the religious party coalition threw a pissy-hissy fit, but either way I wouldn’t really know until I tried to find out would I?

Jarrar: Kissa makao. Lol. Rousing call for a new Generation X (or are we into double alphabets now?) political party. I like. It happens and at this point control seems a little impossible but we can react nahi? I’m probably putting down years worth of work in psychology (individual albeit) by pumping my fist for reaction as action.

moizza said...

King again: *looks at him suspiciously* Are you sure you’re not script writer/director for Alias? I know it’s hypothetical but the thing is have you noticed how all the core commanders in Alias issue orders for recovery of missile weapons in other hands under the assumption that their hands are the safest to hold them? A democratically elected government (as we have the saga that is Bush’s America) is no guarantee of a responsible government. I do not endorse undemocratic government but I have my reservations about the infallibility superficial authors like Sen associate with democracy. And if you are director/script writer for aforementioned series a) please make them smile, b) please give Garner something other than crypt black to wear and c) get rid of Vaughn and bring back Weiss my wuv in major role.

Electoral politics is a great mechanism for regime change. That as a fact has miniscule implications for a population's control over executive behaviour once elected for at least as long as the term lasts. On that count, I disagree with you but I will defend your right to your opinion. Even when I become a Fascist. I just don't have to listen:P

king ure points about peaceful regime change are well taken.but this sterotype that the east is trigger happy is old now.remember it was the US that used the one and only nuke.secondly its been only 60 yrs since western european countries stopped destroying each other.finally everyone knows the destructive power of these weapons.people in the middle east might not be white but theyre not stupid as well.

*groans* This is why as taken as I am with politics and current affairs I've stopped blogging about it completely.

Jarrar: I thought King's comments were more to do with linking unelelected regimes with weapon irresponsibility rather than with a particular geographical locale. The fact that most of these regimes are scattered about in the East has deeper structural causes of which weapon irresponsibility is just ONE implication. And that makes for a debate that has to differentiate itself from the beginning on direct responsibility for WMDs and a historical look at where these regimes came from in the first place.

King: This debate has nothing to do with race and bringing that in completely skews the perspective we look at it from which is just an issue of responsibility. (Which is not to say that ethnic origins are not a focal point for discussion on other political scenes)
