It’s not your money you bastards!
Politicians eating out (from here)
That’s what I think every time I read about the grinning fool and his idiot brigade of 200 munchkins wandering around China, New York and LA wasting our money, or when I read about how the nitwit with anger management problems is waltzing around Colombo in fine Italian sports cars.
Of course as it turns out its not only the Lankan government that feels like the public’s money is there to fiddle away with whenever they feel like it. It turns out the US Feds are just as bad, wasting a spectacular $146 million (that’s a gadjillion, trillion rupees at tomorrow’s exchange rate as I predict it) on premium business class travel. This is where my 30% Fed tax goes!!? Fucking business class tickets for a bunch of nonces? To think I’ve started to despise local governments (after dealing with them day in and out) now I despise the Feds as well. I have to save up for yonks for this beauty of a lens so some prick at the Pentagon can get champagne on his flight!
Fucking wankers.
You shouldn’t insult pigs by comparing them to politicians. Pigs are far more cleaner, and they let you take the bacon home with hardly a squeal. (yes its a vegetarian saying this)

I steer clear from politics/politicians because of this:)
To be fair, can you picture an SL politician flying economy?

Regarding the piece by Thalif Deen;
Sure hope the bastards found out that words don’t come cheap..

The pigs are superior to the Politicians we find in SL. The pigs at least, are not squabbling with each other, not pointing paws at each other’s dirty backside not noticing there own.
Sri Lanka Politics is better than a pig sty, it’s a pigs’ ass!
My mind also travels back to the wonderful book ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell. Politics is the same around the world. When money is involved Politics is invariably Polluted!

Cerno - dunno bout that hardly a squeal part…but yes they are much cleaner!
Darwin - I’d much rather see the SL politican flying in the space the plane’s undercarriage folds up into.
R - doubt it very much…they just need their mouths soldered shut.
Pissu - its what to do….the yaar is only if you’re from the subcontinent above us…stay true to who u are!
Halfdoctor - Welcome! I think Animal Farm was one of the most astute books ever written and it definitely applies to most political situations these days!
