Manmohan Singh Epitomizes Evil
As some of you have already pointed out, I have been focusing on public corruption in India a bit too much. A recent comment motivates me to explain my seeming obsession with the appointed prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh and his crimes.

Citizens United in the US
US President Dwight D. Eisenhower had warned of the danger of the military-industrial complex 50 years ago in Jan 1961. Too bad the Americans did not take the warning seriously enough to do something about it. Here’s a short text and video excerpt:

Beware the Ides of March
Julius Caesar was warned by a soothsayer to “beware the ides of March.” The ides of March is today, the 15th of March. Good ol’ Julius disregarded the warning and on this fateful day in 44 BCE he fell dead, assassinated by his friend Marcus Brutus. As Shakespeare wrote, it was the most unkindest cut of all. (“most unkindest”? Bill, Bill, when will you learn how to write English!)

It was a despicably dishonest thing to do and then lied about it. But then he’s a despicably dishonest man. This is not the first time that he has done a despicable thing and then lied about it. Sorry to overuse of the word “despicable” but what else can describe the man adequately?

Indians Against Corruption meets Manmohan Singh
Thus have I heard.
The representatives of the sheep were granted an audience with the public-relations head of the gang of wolves. The complaint was that the wolves are starving the sheep — which is unacceptable since while wolves eating sheep was consistent with the law of the jungle, starving them was not only cruel and unnatural, it was a short-sighted policy since in the end, the wolves would have to eat tough skinny meat.
