Pakistans Permanent Revolution

HP #89 The civilian government executed six law-breaking mullahs after due process yesterday in bangladesh. The military government in pakistan stands by while three women are dragged out of her house by a mob, kidnapped, humiliated, and forced to seek refuge. Enough said.

Okay, Nasah Sahib, here is the whole article...

Bush delivers punch lines
President appears at annual broadcasters’ dinner
Updated: 9:27 a.m. ET March 29, 2007
WASHINGTON - Tell us, Mr. President, how have things changed since the last broadcasters’ dinner?

“A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone,” President Bush said Wednesday night during the annual gathering.

“Ah,” he said, “those were the good ol’ days.”

In keeping with the lighthearted traditions of the Radio and Television Correspondents’ Association dinner, Bush poked fun at himself and a few others in remarks that drew laughter and applause at the Washington Hilton Hotel.

Bush thanked the organization for providing dinner, “and I’d like to thank Senator Webb for providing security.”

Virginia’s Democratic senator, Jim Webb, had to explain this week why an aide was carrying a loaded handgun as he tried to enter a Capitol complex building.

Noting that Vice President Dick Cheney was not in attendance, Bush said: “He’s had a rough few weeks. To be honest, his feelings were kind of hurt. He said he was going on vacation to Afghanistan where people like him.”

Cheney’s recent trip to Afghanistan was marked by a bombing near where he was meeting with officials.

On the controversy over the Justice Department’s firing of eight federal prosecutors, Bush said: “I have to admit we really blew the way we let those attorneys go. You know you’ve botched it when people sympathize with lawyers.”

Acknowledging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., at the head table, Bush said some had wondered how he’d get along with her. “Some say she’s bossy, she’s opinionated, she’s not to be crossed,” he said. “Hey, I get along with my mother.”

Looking ahead to life after leaving the White House, Bush said he might follow President Clinton’s lead and produce a memoir.

“I’m thinking of something really fun and creative for mine,” he said. “You know, maybe a pop-up book.”

Possible titles: “How W. Got His Groove Back,” “Who Moved My Presidency?” and “Tuesday with Cheney.”

But seriously, folks, Bush noted that another person missing from the audience of broadcast journalists was Sen. Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat running for president.

“Not enough press,” the president cracked.

Comics from the TV show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” provided the professional humor. Among other things, they persuaded Bush political adviser Karl Rove to participate in an improvised rap song.

The black-tie dinner, the group’s 63rd annual gathering of journalists, politicians and their guests, features political and topical humor.

... while we dream of janet, here is the reality :

LAHORE: An additional sessions judge from Kasur held the trial of an alleged blasphemer at the Kot Lakhpat Jail and awarded him death sentence on Thursday. According to the prosecution, the accused, Abdul Hameed (45) of Bhai Phairu, had erected a model of the Kaba in his house and had claimed to be a prophet. Bhai Phairu police registered a case against Hameed under sections 295 A and C of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) on March 3, 2006, on the complaint of Ghulam Mustafa Zia, a prayer leader of the area. Witnesses in the case said Hameed had claimed that his Kaba was the original one and people should visit it for pilgrimage instead of going to Saudi Arabia.
