Bandaranaikes Grow Balls?

someone wants off this damnable float


I think Sri Lanka faces a George Bush kinda choice. Do we elect the likable dumbass with evil friends or the intelligent douchebag? I’d bet on the dumbass any day of the week, but it seems like the Bandaranaikes seem to have an aversion to anyone else fucking up the country. CBK slapped Mahinda over his JVP/Satan deal and now Anura has said “I really don’t care about the outcome of the election now, since the party’s long upheld principles have been betrayed. Our party’s candidate has joined hands with extremist forces and understandably I and my sister strongly feel major damage has been done to the party by his actions. (BBC)” Heehee, Ranil can’t run a campaign, but maybe the Bandaranaikes can sink the moustache with a red noose around his neck.

I think Mahinda is a cute poster boy and I would buy soap from him, but I wouldn’t put him in charge of anything. Electing him would send Sri Lanka directly backwards into war and economic stagnation, if the MOU with the JVP is any indication. He would basically scrap the peace process and economic reforms. So we get an unwinnable terrorist war and state corruption and inefficiency. And the people will eat photo ops. I would actually consider going back to Canada after a while, just cause it’ll be hard to get anything done. At the least I’ll have to get my ration card and National ID ready as inflation and war turn my money and sanity to mush.

Looking at Ranil posters makes me cringe but he actually brought peace and economic momentum, which is good enough to let me get about my daily life. I just want the World Bank to colonize us and oppress poor people to live in relative peace and prosperity. I don’t want war and I don’t want inflation making me poorer every day. But then, Mahinda is so pretty…

It’s not the balls.Pure hypocracy.They are doing what they did to CP Silva,Maithreepala Senanayake and Hector Kobbekaduwa to Mahinda.It’s an old trick.Anura is the same guy who was the bestfriend of JVP 3 months ago!

It’s should be either Bandaranayake or somebody from Jayawardena/Senanayake families(if anything can’t be done about it).

Which one is the “intelligent douchebag?” that would be a stretch for either Ranil or Mahinda…

mahinda has no chance of winning this election even without any interference by bandarafools. that is if he depends, as he seems to have decided on, almost exclusively on sinhala buddhist chauvinist votes in addition to the usual slfp block vote.

I was parked in front of Liberty Plaza for exactly one hour from 8.15am to 9.15 am today as Ma Man Mahi decided to close all entrances to the Liberty junction in lieu of his journey to the elections commissioners’ office to hand over his precious nomination papers. You would think that an intelligent politician (if there were any) would actually go a little later, there by not only avoiding the morning traffic but also getting a few more votes (hypothetically speaking yours trulys’) by not closing the roads, but noooooo, Ma Man Mahis’ “Gedarin Palayeme Nekatha” had apparently been during rush hour. I can understand Mahi, after all, fuck principles, he will loose the elections if he does not leave the house at the auspicious time now won’t he?

Sarath Fonseka And Minority Politics

I started off not really liking General Sarath Fonseka, him being part of the aggressive war effort. I didn’t support the war (largely cause I thought it would fail), and I thought Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and Fonseka were gleefully stomping everything. Fonseka even came out and said “I strongly believe that this country belongs to the Sinhalese but there are minority communities and we treat them like our people,” in 2008 (National Post). Then when he ran for President in 2010, he won mainly in minority areas. Which shows you how things can change.

General Sarath Fonseka Out Soon?

General Sarath Fonseka was arrested on a bunch of trumped up charges, but mainly for daring to threaten Mahinda in a Presidential election. Despite his poor health, Fonseka was arrested in February 2010 and sentence to three years. Word on the street now, however, is that he’ll be released soon. Like any day now. President Mahinda Rajapaksa has told the Hindu so, so it looks like the General will be out soon. Without his title, a proper house or much shot at power, but out still.

The iPlayboy App. For The Articles

I’ve been testing a lot of apps. A very interesting one is iPlayboy, from Playboy magazine. It’s bad porn but a good magazine, especially since you can read issues from its cultural heyday – the Mad Men era of the 60s.

Reading Comics Again (Marvel Comics App)

I’m going to get back to blogging. I buy a shitload of stuff on my iPad. Not that I like spending money, and the exchange rate terrifies me, but it’s just so easy, and so good. For example, I’ve been reading comics again. Spiderman, and Carnage. Except this time Spiderman is friends with Iron Man, and Carnage has boobs. Amazing. I’ve realized, however, that Marvel never ends stories. They are all cliff-hangers. Sequels are the business model. They’re such assholes money machines.
