		<description><![CDATA[And that&#8217;s how I&#8217;m beginning to view the events of the past few years, even the whole of Abdullah Badawi&#8217;s first term as Prime Minister.  It was Mahathir who engineered Anwar&#8217;s downfall and Badawi&#8217;s placement as the new No. 2 man in UMNO, and today we are still witnessing the botched-up accusations flung at [...]]]></description>

But now I have it, courtesy of my delightful little brother (no pun intended).  And I&#8217;ve just been blown away.  Argh God, it feels [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s become more and more obvious that Pakatan Rakyat will not make it without a few things brought to hand - and immediately.  Reading Malaysiakini&#8217;s article about PR&#8217;s less-than-stellar performance in their first 100 days was like reading a complaint.  And I know I&#8217;m in danger of sounding like an apologist, but really, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to figure out what&#8217;s gone wrong since the rush precipitated by the March 8th elections, and I hit a blank wall.  A rush of excitement, then 100 days later, newsbits about corruption, land scams, corruption and everything else has petered out into the dull grey of the daily grind of governance, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s official.  For those of you living in Selangor, please be aware that your previous state assembly persons have basically bled you dry of RM 27million (or so) allocated to the state assembly.  Yes, that&#8217;s Khir Toyo and gang for you.  Let me say it again: RM 27 fucking million.  And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t believe you&#8217;ll need to think very hard about the implications of the Lingam report.  This is just further dismantling of the Mahathir regime and one, I think, that is done with relish and not without a smidgen of desperation.  In the light of recent moves by Mahathir to re-establish old ties [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was browsing through bookforum.com when I lighted on an interesting article featuring Henri Lefebvre.  No, I don&#8217;t know who he is, but Daniel Miller&#8217;s written a compelling piece describing Lefebvre&#8217;s ideas, and in particular, his involvement in the May 1968 revolt against De Gaulle&#8217;s government.  Not unlike our own riots in May [...]]]></description>

If I were Burmese, alive and standing amidst the bodies floating on still water, like the bodies of buddhist monks face down in dark streams, how would I feel.  I don&#8217;t know.  I wouldn&#8217;t be sane, by then.  I would be a gibbering mess, laughing and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I suppose it&#8217;s true that good things come to those who wait.  I&#8217;m sure hidden in that adage are several supplementary ones, like: &#8220;what goes around comes around&#8221;, and &#8220;give them enough rope and they&#8217;ll hang themselves&#8221;, and others.  For the past few weeks, I&#8217;ve been keeping one eye on the news and [...]]]></description>
