Global Warming Back on the Table
Read this article if you have the time, and catch the reader comments. This may give you an idea of how complicated the issue really is.
Get The Issues Correct
The Perak State Government's decision to buy Toyota Camry's for its excos has come under flak by the opposition (read ex-state government) as wasteful etc. etc. Firstly, Dato' Nizar should seriously consider the possibility of scaling down to a 2.0E at least since a car is only a car... paying top dollar for a 2.4 litre engine car is slightly excessive if you ask me.
As for the "opposition", I would like to see more accountability for their past decisions and a focus on the current reality. 2009 may well be worse than 2008 and I am not referring to the political tsunami. As economic conditions worsen, I would like to see more bipartisan efforts rather than political nitpicking that is prevalent now.
BN has had its time in these 5 states, and now is an opportunity not only for the opposition, but also BN itself to show it can work for the good of the rakyat as they ought have to in the first place. Talking about canceled tennis competitions and taking arms over car models is petty and continues to demonstrate why the rakyat in these 5 states were correct in the first place.

Shoe Stinks; Obama Beware
In the part of the world that George W. Bush described as suffering a "deep deficit in freedom" it is ironic that an Iraqi reporter was able to liberate a shoe, launched in the direction of the outgoing President but missed by some distance.
The fact that President Bush displayed such agility of reflexes at his age was overshadowed by the significance of the insult. I won't even contemplate discussing this trivial news except to question why security was so lax in the first place.
With a black American coming into the White House, an obvious target of hate groups, one wonders if Tom Clancy's fictional end to Jack Ryan's successor, assassinated by the Klu Klux Klan, will become a reality. In a troubled world, it can only get worse... and that is scary indeed.
