How else could that other great institution - their tabloid press - survive otherwise?<br /> <br />I overheard one regular discussing this <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?sectionName=HomePage&id=dc4d6d80-9e34-43db-a9a1-a81d3af3a2e7&Headline=Prince+Harry+hasn't+washed+his+hair+for+two+years">news </a>item with another at my barber's. <br /><blockquote>Prince Harry has reportedly owned up to his friends that he has not washed his hair for two years.</blockquote><br />The other retorted hoping that the royal scion has had the sense at least to have his butt washed, if not toilet papered, over the period of 2 years! <br /><br />Methinks it would be an eye-opener to know if the British Exchequer is paying for an employee who's sole job is to keep clean, you know what, of folks who occupy Kensington Palace!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">;)<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7311008965201819068-3771485576465998173?l=pestscript.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ravihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00718315807637223064noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311008965201819068.post-77387365462545444972009-04-29T23:31:00.000-07:002009-04-30T04:42:08.688-07:00Devamma's quote to <a href="http://specials.rediff.com/election/2009/apr/28sle2-hardanahalli-gowda-home-town.htm">Rediff.com</a> on her <span style="font-weight:bold;">nephew<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span>, the right honorable H.D Deve Gowda, India's 14th Prime Minister. <br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">A man like him should become prime minister a hundred times</span>."</blockquote> <br />Blood is thicker than water, of course. That should explain why Smt. Devamma feels so strongly about her nephew. Unfortunately, she has no way of knowing, I suppose, the diametrically opposite views of ordinary citizens. For example, she should read a sample of reader submissions, extracted from churumuri.wordpress.com & posted here:<br /><br />- The very name Devegowda is a bane to Karnataka. Unless he retires from public life, the State won’t prosper.<br /><br />- Are you a thief? If yes, why? — is it your upbringing, or the ambition of your rascal sons, or the nature of Karnataka politics, or something else?<br /><br />- For a man who talks about doing so much for the poor, can you please disclose assets held in the name of all your family members, and when/how you got them?<br /><br />- Whew!! I can’t really think of a decent, civil question to him! :(<br /><br />- When do you think your son Ravana (oops!! sorry, Revanna) will become the next Prime… (oops!! sorry) Chief Minister of Karnataka?<br /><br />- Mr Gowda, when would you gracefully fade away from public life and hence make public life richer?<br /><br />- Gowdre , what were you thinking of when you used to go to sleep /slumber on the dias like clockwork?<br /><br />Personally, I thought the best comment was this:<br /><blockquote>Do you sleep well at night ?</blockquote> <br />God help India, in case he becomes PM even just once more!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7311008965201819068-7738736546254544497?l=pestscript.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ravihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00718315807637223064noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311008965201819068.post-61155788516543823202009-04-29T03:11:00.000-07:002009-04-29T03:29:00.214-07:00Jade Goody - may her soul RIP - must be rolling in her grave, mortified as hell!<br /><br />After discovering what it was to put foot in mouth and then regret, on an international scale, she'd have thought that her mom would pick up some cues. <br /><br />Not a chance. Appears that <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4459539.cms">notoriety </a>runs in the family. <br /><br /><blockquote>Jade Goody's mother Jackiey Budden was <span style="font-weight:bold;">strip searched</span> after her offhand remark sparked an airport terror alert.</blockquote> <br /><blockquote>The check-in girl at airport security had asked Budden whether she was carrying anything dangerous in her bags, to which she replied, "Only my gun." </blockquote> <br /><br />Duh! Jus' what was she thinking? <br /><br /><blockquote>Police said Jackiey was given some "<span style="font-weight:bold;">words of advice</span>" before being let off. </blockquote><br />Well, she's lucky. Next time, they propose to ask her to leave her brain behind. <br /><br />If they find it, that is!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">:) <span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7311008965201819068-6115578851654382320?l=pestscript.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ravihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00718315807637223064noreply@blogger.com2
