It is the month of August, on the shores of the Black Sea. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to choose one.
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower. The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit.
The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.
At that moment, the tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town.
No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.....
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is doing business today.

Stinking Mouth Speaks The Loudest
06 Aug 2009Federal Territories Minister Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal today said that RM20 million damages claimed by various quarters as a result of loss of business and income arising from the anti-ISA rally last Saturday have been accounted for.
Furthermore, he added that the bad press coverage in the international media like Al-Jazeera and CNN also created a negative image for Kuala Lumpur.
He claimed that this may have caused a reduction in the number of foreign tourists - especially from the Middle East.
When asked about what actions were available to the traders, Raja Nong Chik replied that they can firstly lodge a police report and then follow up with legal action against those responsible.
When asked about the damages that may have been caused by police actions during the rally, he said that "the damages from police action, even if it exists, were very minor".
Dumb Statement!

The rally against the Internal Security Act (ISA) in Kuala Lumpur last Saturday was aimed at provoking the police into invoking the law which allowed for detention without trial, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin
The police are now handling the matter. They can take whatever action they see fit (against the organisers of the rally) but some people want to provoke the police to ensure they are detained under the ISA. Then, they can say, 'See, I told you'," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.

Teoh Beng Hock's Inquest
He is one of the few good men left.
Women want real men and it is synonymous to a country that needs good men. When the systems in the country are rolling to a grinding halt, people will lose faith, respect and trust on the whole system.
We don’t need mommy’s boys to tell us what to do because it takes more than a pair of testicles to walk the talk.
Despite being publicly mocked, blamed and criticized, he is still in charge with his superior political skill and courage to do what he should for the betterment of the Malaysian society.
The man I am talking about is YB Lim Kit Siang whom I had the chance to bump into as he was leaving the Shah Alam High Court.
The cub of a tiger man?
When you look at a tiger you will ask about the cub. But the cub has grown fully-fledged to take on even the “king” of the concrete jungle!
He is the most needed personality of our time, a Member of Parliament and lawyer who has earned the reverence from the peace loving Malaysians.
Intelligent yet modest and he is YB Gobind Singh, a household name far and wide.
