It doesn’t make sense - how the hell could the Yanks have voted to re-elect that swine Bush? ...bludy crazy, I tell you.

They say every country gets the leadership it deserves; well, America may deserve him, but the rest of the world sure as hell doesn’t.

I read somewhere that presidents elected in years ending with "0" tend to die before the end of their terms in office (Reagan being the exception to the rule, but not for the want of trying).

...so that gives Osama and the lads four more years to get the job done.

And what’s going to happen to all the gays? …I guess the poor sods will have to flee to Canada or something.

My brother was telling me yesterday how disappointed they all are that John Kerry lost. It seems it’s the conservative fundamentalist Christians who are to blame, and they're the ones calling the shots on abortion and civil liberties and gay rights and a lot of other things. So does that in a way make the Republican Party the American equivalent of the BJP?

If so, then the voters in India are a much smarter lot, don’t you think?

Anyway, at least our BPO industry will be breathing a great sigh of relief. NBZ will probably get gulab jamun for dessert today.

Ok - the Goan blogger community, which at last count numbered just 4 (that would be myself, Gorgeous, Josephine, and still counting michelle, hoping she’ll return someday soon) has found another member – our very own Cynic in Wonderland.

She wants to know where I’m from – well Cynic, my dad is from this place called Divar island near Old Goa, and my mum’s from Corjuem island across the river from Aldona, which is near Mapusa.

You know in school, all of us Goan boys had formed this gang called ...well it was just called Goan Boyz . The others had their own gangs - there was the elite Home Boys that included all the cool dude punks, who were nothing but a bunch of duffers who dressed well; and then there were the Mallu gangs. Now there were too many Mallu's so their gangs got sub-divided based on which sport they played, and stuff like that. But our gang was the best.

...and for a short time some of the girls - the ones who thought they were cool - again just duffers who dressed stylish, had also formed a gang. But they made the mistake of calling themselves the 'Renegades' (dont ask me why). And the reason their gang didn't last too long was because in no time at all, the Renegades came to be known as the Randi-gades!

BFN.
