Is this our government??

I am ashamed of our government and poilticians.

1. The Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh. Did you watch his first speech when he was talking about the Mumbai attack? If you didn't, don't worry, you didn't miss much. He would probably have put you to sleep. Hell, he would have put himself to sleep! George W., for all his faults, atleast roused patriotism in the Americans when he told them that their country had been attacked, but the evil-doers would not get away with it.

2. The President. Whats her name? Where is Kalam when you need him?

3. The Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Vilasrao Deshmukh. What do I say about him? He would have done really well in Bollywood movies. Reporters asked him if he was worried about being asked to quit. He gave them a deep, villainous laugh, "ha ha ha! Do I look worried to you? Don't I look relaxed?" He also quite enjoys the celebrity side of fame and the thrill of danger. He went on a "terrorism tour" of the Taj and took along with him, cameras, the media, his actor-son Rietesh Deshmukh and wannabe horror/action movie director Ram Gopal Varma with him. Why did he take RGV? a. "RGV happened to be there." b. He is a "good friend" of Reitesh. c. "He is not a terrorist." d. "He was not there to get material for his next movie." So what? How was he connected to the attacks and why was he allowed to enter an area secured by armed forces because of recent events? Then Deshmukh offered to take responsibility for the attacks and offered his resignation. Gee, really! Protecting the people of his state was his duty and he failed. He SHOULD take responsibility.

4. The Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, R.R.Patil. I don't know what this man was thinking. He definitely suffers from foot-in-the-mouth disease. He merely opens his mouth to exchange feet. On the morning of the 27th, he got a call from reporters asking him what the status was in Bombay. I don't think he comprehended the seriousness of the situation because he, promptly and confidently, said, " Es, everything is under control." It actually took 3 days for things to be under control. Then he said, "Bade sheheron main aisse cheese hote hain?" So didn't he think that something should be done about it? Duh!

5. Chief Minister of Kerala, V.S. Achutanandan. As an afterthought, he decided to pay his respects to Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan's family and offer his condolences. He was on his way back to Trivandrum, had a stopover in Bangalore and thought it was the perfect opportunity. Unfortunately for him, the family was grieving, angry for the loss of their only son and didn't want fame or politicians to come a-calling, they wuld rather have had their son back. So the father yelled at him, called him a dog (he actually said, "Po da patti") and threw him out. V.S. got his mundu in a twist and retaliated in the media by saying, " If it wasn't for Sandeep, even a dog wouldn't have visited the house." Both were mean, but the father did say that he overreacted and shouldn't have. I don't know if V.S. understood.

6. The thugs of Maharashtra-Raj Thackeray, Bal Thackeray, Uday Thackeray. They are all bark no bite. They show fantastic skills when protecting the Marathi manoos from innocent, unarmed citizens of Mumbai. Where were they when armed terrorists came along and went on a killing spree? Probably peeing in their pants as they hid under their beds. Bal Thackeray is old, so he was probably praying he didn't have a heart attack.

7. The entire BJP party and Congress. Why should anyone be left out? The BJP promised, at first, that they would not use the terrorist attacks in Bombay for their campaign. Two days later their promise was broken as they campaigned in Rajasthan. Anyone surprised?! Shocked? Angry? Of course! We all should be. In fact none of us should go out and vote. Until someone gets out there and fixes the security in this country and proves that they can unite the country, none of them should be in power. The BJP isn't any better than the congress party. They would have been just as incompetent as the Congress party. Fools! The whole lot! Maybe we should become a dictatorship...

8. Next time we should send thugs from the South-Vaiko, Azhagiri etc etc. They are so busy trying to save Sri Lankan Tamils and fighting over the fact that the family newspaper published a survey showing how unpopular they are. What were they doing when the country needed them? Peeing in their pants?

I still think Lalu is the best... He is such a lalu... I also think that no Indian should pay their taxes this year. Our employees, the government and politicians, have not done their duty-protecting the citizens of this country, who entrusted them with power to rule. All they are doing is becoming fat, old, and lazy, and are greedily pocketing all our hard-earned rupees. Its about time they worked for their pay!
