Cravings

What goes around certainly does come back around doesn't it? Or would you prefer to say history has a knack of repeating itself? Aww heck, for the fun of it, why don't we just say that the "Bhai Style" is back in vogue again? Yeah....our political bigwigs are back at it again. They're taking the phrase "I'm gonna get your ass for this" to a new (ok, maybe not so new) and downright ludicrous level.

Oh no, not again, please.... Why are our politicians so unnaturally (or naturally) attracted to an act that is deemed unnatural by our law? What is it about Sodomy that gets our politicians' knickers in tight knots? Is that the easiest crime to charge someone with? Or is it a crime that effectively kills two birds with one stone? Makes the accused a criminal, because it is a crime in Malaysian law, and also makes the accused an outcast among the ordinary folk - waah...dia nie suka main belakang orang tau, jaga-jaga ngan dia, jangan toleh belakang atau bend-down depan dia....

I can't help but be amazed with the timing of the accusations man... Raja Petra says he was on the brink of receiving some damaging info from Anwar when this happens. The shock waves from the SD of last week hasn't abated much either. So is this a diversionary measure or a way of telling Anwar we can get your ass anytime we want to?

Then we have our flip-flop PM. Allow me to digress here a bit. Flip-flop in itself carries an image of inconsistency, doesn't it? So in the case of our PM, who's so consistent in his inconsistency (flip-flops), can we still address him as Mr Flip-flop? Just something to chew on...

Anyway, back to PM Badawi. According to him and his extensive knowledge of the law and how it works, together with his knowledge of Human Psychology, when someone is accused, he or she will definitely deny it. Here he was obviously referring to Anwar. Anwar has been accused, so he will definitely deny it. If this is his flop, then his flip must have been when he came to the defense of his deputy last week when the deputy was accused of being involved in the murder of Altantuya Shaariibu. When Badawi's deputy was accused, not only the deputy, but Badawi himself, his son-in-law, the Attorney General all jumped to his defense.

Anyway, I'm going to stop here for definitely there's more to crawl out from the cracks (not butt cracks) of this story...

Oh...and if you're wondering the connection between the title and the post, it's a 10 year old inside joke in Malaysia. What is the most famous mee (rice noodle) in Malaysia? Sodo-mee. And right now I am very hungry and am craving for, you guessed it, some Sodo-mee...
