Death and Tax

If we allow people to smoke, acknowledging people's inalienable right to harm themselves, would it be so abhorrent to allow people to undergo euthanasia for as long as they're taxed for it?

Euthanasia tax, anyone?

PDAF ng Ina Mo



Disbursement done.

At first I thought PDAF was needed to keep conscientiously challenged members of congress at bay. A sitting president will need to have the power of the purse to prod or restrain key people in the pursuit of his or her programs. I thought without the PDAF, a sitting president would be powerless to effect change. No PDAF, no carrot, no stick.

A Few Armed Men

Hammertime!

On Valentines Day, the Sultan of Sulu sent a few armed men to Sabah to 'reclaim' it. Mr. Sultan claims that Sabah belongs to the Sultanate and that it is merely on lease to Malaysia for Php70,000 per year -- which tells me that I've been renting the wrong place this whole time! It appears nobody remembered to consider inflation when they were hammering out the lease agreement. Big mistake.
