the fascist pig is being investigated. investigated schmestigated. fire the asshole and plaster his face around the city! tarred and feathered! drawn and quartered!

update: the cop's name is Patrick Pogan and his badge and gun have been taken away from him. but he can still push cyclists anytime with his beautiful sexy hands. and what about his partner? they both arrested the victim who was allegedly 'blocking traffic' and 'assaulting a police officer'.

we demand that Hizzoner Mayor Bloomberg run this sorry excuse for a cop out of the Big Apple!

should i throw tomatoes at her?

i have to find ones with the salmonella, no doubt.


our President goes on a junket while the country just finished another round with a typhoon.

... jetted off to San Francisco en route to Washington and eventually, New York, with the objectives of her trip still up in the air. Meetings with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (widely whispered to be no fan of the President) and with candidate Barack Obama ... have not been confirmed.

The horde of congressmen and the two token senators, the 10 Cabinet members and the President's own family will probably spend their time doing other things. The First Family, for one, will want to know how their San Francisco properties are doing. We can be confident other Filipino officials will similarly be inclined. At least Speaker Prospero Nograles has been frank about the main purpose of his visit: to attend Manny Pacquiao's upcoming fight in Las Vegas.

ahhh, kaya pala!!!! goddammit, if i had cable TV, i'd probably see them in the audience during this fight.

once she arrives here in NYC, the Philippine Embassy will most likely be closed again, for this "momentous event" (happens at least once a year, right?).

do you know how lucky the Embassy staff are? because they get a lot of holidays - following both Filipino and American calendars. June 12 Philippine Independence Day? check. US Thanksgiving? check. Good Friday? check (note: Good Friday is not a religious holiday here, so for the last 7 years i spent 3 PM reflecting at my desk). didn't Gloria also declare a Ramadan holiday back home? does the embassy close on that day too?

can anyone tell me the total cost of this junket is? better yet, tell it to the victims of the typhoon.

canine poop

aside from inanities involving dogs, here's what was on CNN.com a couple of hours ago:



on one hand, be glad it wasn't their headline. on the other hand ... is this even news? what's next, "Oprah's cat* has asthma"? i hope you choke on that grease money, CNN.


* ask Gayle King; she knows about that

the fine print

everyone has all but called it a recession, but face the facts, and please say it: we're in a recession. thanks, George W. Bush. what a way to bow out of office. i hope you get your dickipedia entry soon (right now might be too obvious).

given the subprime mess, mortgage meltdown, and escalating debt, banks really don't care - they keep offering credit cards to anyone who's desperate, crazy or dumb enough to bite.


yes, am calling you out, Citizens Bank.

see the hooks? less than 8%! not an introductory rate!

but there's always a SMALL asterisk. always look for that.



for any reason?

for any reason??

let's say the CEO of Citizens Bank was doing his duty on his throne, so to speak. in the middle of one long, hard-to-squeeze doodie, he suddenly decides to raise the interest rates to 10%. does that count? or when he fights with his wife, because he has lipstick marks on his bald CEO head? what happens when he gets into an auto accident? what quantifies "any reason"?

(wait, the CEO is a she, apparently)

and apparently, a sector of society thinks that Citizens Bank sucks anyway.



hey, its still 7.99%. right ...?

(like there's a huge difference between 7.99 and 8.00)

she ain't messin' with no broke nigga

i have no love for McCartney, but this really sucks. i hope she spends those millions quickly within a few years then become a forgotten peg-legged drug-addicted hag. or here's a thought, Sir Paul: hire a Hitman.

cue in that Kanye song.
