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?

Getting A Chinese Visa In Sri Lanka (Or Trying)

I want to visit my friend in China before he comes back. Free place to crash and all. So, I applied for a visa to China, from Colombo. I’m not sure I’ll get it, but this is process to at least apply. For official but incomplete info, check out the Chinese Embassy website.

Sarath Fonseka And The Mahavamsa

The Mahavamsa (a history of Sri Lanka) is full of conflicts between generals and kings. Usually, the more bloodthirsty and unscrupulous would win. Our current (elected) ruler Mahinda Rajapaksa has had his own general conflicts, namely with one Sarath Fonseka. In the old days Fonseka would have staged a coup, as in literally try to cut of Mahinda’s head, and Mahinda would – if that failed – tie him to four elephants and split his parts asunder. Can’t do that shit anymore. Instead Fonseka ran for office and lost and Mahinda tossed him in jail.

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.
