She who cheats, lives to cheat another day

I've been busy meeting up with friends I haven't seen for a long time, and I know it is more interesting to hear personal stories instead of political tirade. But I live in a third world country with politicians who stink the place like nobody's business, so I can't help but to rant about the stench. Therefore, I must write in hopes of getting off some of the stink from my system after reading the newspaper again...

The second impeachment complaint against President Arroyo has been trashed by the majority of the House of Representatives, otherwise known as Congress, otherwise known as House of Arroyo's pork barrel brigade, yesterday. Once again, any investigation and hearing about the alleged cheating and illegal use of millions and millions of public funds has been quashed by Arroyo's supporters (a.k.a. bribe benefactors). Once again, we have showed the world that democracy through numbers will prevail as long as the numbers are fat and have lots of zeros in it. With a vote of 173-32, with one abstention, the House upheld the decision of the committee on justice last week to kill this year’s impeachment complaint against Arroyo for insufficiency in substance.

There you go. More government funds were used to pay off congressmen to block the impeachment complaint from reaching the senate, and the public is once again left niggling with doubt and suspicion, as well as cynicism that corruption is at work AS USUAL. Arroyo and her henchmen are crowing in victory once again.
