Circus --

I'm watching the Congress hearing regarding the Gloria Tapes. I find it laughable every time these people in Congress are referred to as "Honorable" when they are clearly not.

It is not the interest of the people and our country being served inside the session hall -- it is these people's individual egos. These people speak a language that obscures and muddles -- it is clear that they are not speaking for the people they represent, but they are speaking for a president they are trying desperately to protect.

An example: The minority floor leader directly referred to a member of the majority (Antonino) and that congressman uses the word "allude" -- clever, clever.

It amazes me how one person can tip the balance to her favor like that and one wonders what it took to "inspire" such loyalty.

"Napupurga na ang mga tao sa mga pinaguusapan natin dito." - Crispin Beltran

I couldn't have said it better.

...

Just listened to one congressman telling Crispin Beltran that he cannot speak for the Filipino People.

Hmmm.
