Visit Malaya's frontpage for all the GLORIAGATE/Ramos news. Top story: It’s an FVR ‘coup’
Conrado de Quiros on Fidel Ramos:
WHAT'S with Tabako? All the fumes from those cigars must have turned his brains into mush.
Striding forth into Malacanang toward the end of the Longest Day last Friday, Fidel Ramos promptly declared his loyalty to its resident squatter-to whom everyone had been issuing eviction papers the whole day-and proposed to solve the problem of her illegal occupation of the people's palace by a constitutional change. That monumental exercise in non sequitur made about as much sense as solving the problem of lack of classrooms in this country by holding an architects' or engineers' conference to discuss the aesthetic values of Frank Lloyd Wright's designs. The latter probably makes more sense.
Truly, this country does not end with a bang but with a whimper, not with tragedy but with farce. It makes the Theater of the Absurd sound positively sane. What is Tabako saying? That when a Constitution is violated in the most brazen way possible by the one person tasked to uphold it, the solution is to make another one?
Heh heh, read it all.
