It’s all the rage upstairs these days I'm told. The war is 'coming to a close' and everyone is getting a bit cocky. And now we are within 'kissing distance' of Killinocchi. Nice. I’m kind of picturing Sarath Fonseka locking lips with Prabhakaran after a long drawn out battle through the dust and grime, through smoke and flying bullets etc. The poignant reunion of two estranged lovers. Slinky soundtrack plays and poof! There goes the ethnic conflict.
Meanwhile the Tigers seem to be showing us their purring affection by killing a claimed 170 SL Army troops. Funny thing though; we seem to have noticed only 25 of them gone. Maybe the rest haven't realized they're dead yet. Or maybe there's a problem with the paperwork. I mean, if the paper work says they aint dead, a simple thing like an actual dead body can't be allowed to show up and spoil it all yeah. Then again, they (the tigers) could be lying, and so could we. It starts getting a bit complicated when you start thinking along those lines.
On the subject of paperwork and petrol. Whooped for joy when I heard the cabinet was actually going to revise the petrol prices to 100 bucks and actually follow a Supreme Court order for a change and then deflated with a cigarette half an hour later when I found out that actually, they weren't.
The reason? Some complicated high end top secret national security concern? Not really, our government is not very competent in putting out vague generalizations with big words that make us go 'ah!' and shut up because we don't understand. No, at least they're straight forward. No photocopy was sent to the cabinet from the Supreme Court. A copy of the order to reduce petrol was not received by the cabinet. I mean the order that was put forward by the Supreme Court to reduce the price of petrol was not received in paper by the cabinet. the order the paper the petrol the cabinet the supreme court. And it all boiled down to an A4 sheet. I mean wtf?? Is it just me or does anyone else see anything completely absurd here that a finger cannot quite be put upon?
Maybe dunking my head in an ice cold bucket of water will clear things up. I suggest you do the same, cos pretty soon it's gonna get a bit hot in here me thinks.

lol good post man, my sentiments exactly! jus last nite dad was all happy tat finally something good was on da news.. then today i hear this nonsense..
and ditto abt da body count, seriously, who da heck knows anymore? im sure da ppl that actually went and counted would have ended up dead too.....
Well actually, from what I've learnt you really can't believe any of it (what the government or the LTTE say).
We'll never really know unless we set out to find the real numbers... Which isn't really easy to do... and not exactly risk free...
looks like the Supreme Court and President's Office are going to war
The President Vs. The supreme court? any bets on who wins that? :) not like we have a public that'll stand up for the law like the Pakistanis is it. As for the body count hopefully they'll get some people who're a bit better with numbers up there..
how about just teleporting them all into Laguna 75? set them up with water pistols and fake bombs. let em hav a ball :) seriously though, we're getting more lawless by the day
ah now there's an idea Puppet. you wanna call those friends of yours now or wait a little longer? :D
court has gone too far...i was waiting this to happen...now we are in anarche
you mean the government has gone too far. right?
