Attack on poilce training academy, Manawa.

In yet another one of the rocky earthquake-like happenings that our sorry country is so famous for, the police training academy at Manawa was stormed yesterday by terrorists (claimed to have links to Baitullah Mehsud), who threw grenades and fired blindly, killing twenty police officers and five civilians. Yet again, it seems that our intelligence service was forewarned but, as usual, they failed to take action. I seriously dunno whats gonna happen next-maybe Sherry Rehman dancing nude in the Parliament??

Of course, the police make themselves a huge target by doing shit like this. I mean, you can't help but want to blow them up when they do this. Have a look:

I mean, wouldn't YOU be a pissed-off Desi if some cop stops in the middle of traffic to talk to his gay police buddy at the 'station. Well, DUH!!!

The policeman on the roof is really asking for it.

China will RULE!!!

I've been thinking about about China and how its been enjoying double digit growth for the last 30 or so years. Recently, they've started expanding into the cell phone market, and from little dip-shit phones, they've gone up to making great phones. Today I saw a blog post on Sense Applied about a "Razor Phone". Now this isnt a copy of the Motorolla Razr, but the phone has a frikkin RAZOR built into it. See the full story here.

Its features include:

Dual sim cards working at the same time
Bluetooth
FM radio
E-book reader
support to extend TF card to 8GB maximally
Language :English/Chinese
2.6 inch Touch Screen – 260k VGA , 240 x 320 Px
0.3 mp Camera ( so you don't get to take a good pic of yourself shaving)
Stereo Loud Speakers
GPRS & WAP – sorry no EDGE it only keeps you on a Razor’s Edge
300 Contacts Directory
and of course a Builtin Razor.

Car capers

This is a post of various stuff that i've seen on the wacky roads of Karachi. It's funny and crazy, and I'll be updating this soon.






You get to see a lot of stuff like this on the roads of Karachi, especially in Ramzan in Karachi when everyone's hungry and suffering under the burning heat. It's like weird stuff like this is an outlet for the Desi Desparados populating our city.

Mission accomplished!!!

In a dramatic wee-hour development, the government agreed to reinstate the deposed chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammed Chaudhry who, along with nearly 50 judges, had been unceremoniously sacked by the then president and army chief General Pervez Musharraf almost two years ago.

In a long-awaited development, the PPP government finally bowed to immense pressure by the opposition and the lawyers movement. The announcement by the Prime Minister ordering the reinstatement of judges followed a not-so-veiled warning by Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq P Kiyani told the government that they needed to reverse some of their more controversial decisions before the situation spiralled out of control.

The reinstated Chief Justice is likely to continue the work he was doing in office before being deposed in 2007-the finding of the 'missing people' many believe to have been held by the security agencies.

After the announcement restoring the judiciary, scenes of mass celebration and jubiliation were seen in the streets, especially in the cities of the Punjab, and sweets were handed out. Many people also resorted to aerial firing.

The full story can be seen here.

I personally believe that the reinstatement of the CJ, Mr. Iftikhar Chaudhry ought to have positive repercussions. The Constitution in force, that is, the 1973 Constitution provides for an independent judiciary in its' preamble, the Objectives Resolution, by clearly stating ["Wherein the independence of the judiciary shall be fully secured"].

Anyway, lets just be thankful that this crisis is over. Now, Ali Ahmed Kurd and all the other lawyers can finally get back to their real job with this little sojourn over. Hey, maybe Kurd will be able to finally change that ridiculous hairstyle of his.

Supreme Court Bar Association President Ali Ahmed Kurd-with that ridculous hairstyle of his.

And maybe, maybe, this will be enough to wipe that huge smirk off "President" Zardari's face.

"President" Zardari-with that huge smirk of his.

Geo News snuffed. Once again.

It seems that we are once more returning to the bad old days on Nvember 2007 when emergency was imposed by then President Musharraf and the star of our mushrooming group of TV channels was ordered to shut down. In an ironic twist of events, today, cable operators were threatened and told to shut down Geo TV. This has now taken place in Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, Lahore and Islamabad. The full story can be seen here.Ask anyone in Pakistan and they'll tell you one of the reasons that the PPP came into government was because of their promises to restore democracy, the judiciary and to make the media independent. In fact, non of these have taken place. The judiciary is still beholden to the corupt, inefficient government, and yet again, the media has been shut down while the lawyers movement is brutally suppressed and atrocities are committed. At the same time, the economy is so far down the toilet that it probably can't even see the toilet roll and Pakistan's standing in international forums has fallen greatly.

It seems that the government of "President" Zardari IS definitely corrupt, inefficient and self-serving (big surprise there). Anyway, what I really don't get is why that bastard refuses to liberate the judiciary. Hes probably afraid that the BILLIONS of dollars hes embezzled will be discovered.

OK, now only a kind and merciful God with a highly developed sense of irony will save this country from going to the dogs (characterized by Asif Zardari).

The Show Must Go On....And on and on and on....

Our country seems to resemble something like a bad soap opera. The show just keeps dragging on and on and on..
Its like the show goes on whenever theres another "democratically elected" government and then at regular intervals, theres a break, shown by yet another imposition of Martial Law. Like a bad soap, the saga never seems to want to finish, and the same actors keep showing up through the ages playing different roles and characters. It seems that the only thing keeping the country on its feet is the breath of fresh air that (usually) blows in during Martial Law.
It seems that we need a bunch of new, EDUCATED politicians who can actually think for themselves..Otherwise it'll be the same old story all over again, Martial Law, failed ddemocracy, corrupt democracy, Martial Law and so on...
It seems we need another Ayub Khan....Rise from the dead, Ayub!!!
