Funny

This cracks me up everytime it shows up on facebook :P

I know, I know ... if anything, this is a reflection of us and our dire straits. Don't get me started on that.

Dolphins Lose Again!

Too bad the Karachi Dolphins ended up being second-best to Sialkot YET AGAIN! Why is it that every team I support either performs miserably or fails at the very last hurdle? My beloved team Toon aka Newcastle United are struggling at the bottom of the English Premier League, my beloved country Pakistan is reeling from an economic crisis of epic proportions right now with no end to it in sight. Our president is proudly begging for a $100 billion bail-out, as if the rest of the world is waiting in the wings to help us. Frankly, they have enough problems of their own right now owing to the great economic recession that has engulfed the world. So don't hold your breath on that, but you know with all the doom and gloom surrounding the country at the moment, it was nice to see attention diverted to something fun and light-hearted, even if it lasted for just a few days. The harsh reality is that we will not see international cricket in the country for god knows how long and us fans will be starved of quality cricket for the foreseeable future. Also, our national team hasn’t lived up to its expectations lately (come to think of it, has anything associated with Pakistan done good of late?) and I would, personally, love to see them getting back to winning ways whether they play at home or abroad. I'd rather bet on them than on our President when it comes to turning around their respective fortunes.

WTH?!

Zardari: India 'not a threat to Pakistan'

So, we were just fooling around with them when our two armies almost went to war in 2001 was it? And the Kargil conflict, and the two wars, and the seemingly never-ending arms race - as ridiculous as that may be given how poor both countries are!

What the !@#% is he talking about?!

Zardari elected President

I think I'm gonna be sick! :S

You know they've been going on about what little executive experience Obama and Replublican V.P. nominee Sarah Palin have. Come to think of it, how much of it does Zardari have?

Funny how all the cases against him are being disproved all of a sudden, and how the government has conveniently withdrawn it's case against him from the Swiss courts. He must think he's in heaven or something!

Check out the story in International Herald Tribune about him.

What exactly is Zardari upto?

All those years of loitering, blackmail, fraud and jail-sentences, and all of a sudden Zardari is playing Mr. Nice Guy?! Smells a bit fishy to me.
