What a weekend!

For Sonia Gandhi. Her son prove his mettle and her husband's murderer, well murder planner, was gunned down. Well, so much for India having an overtly right of centre government but I've argued before, until the BJP comes to terms with 2002 nothing will change. The left and the right might have been battered in these polls but India's GOP needs them around to define itself. Well, let's see if MMS survives, literally, for five years but as an Indian proud of democracy I wish the government well and hope they don't f*** up too much.
The nature of governance is such that they will screw up once in a while and I hope the opposition will be an an opposition for once instead of the walk-out cry babies they were last time. And as a Bong I'm still flabbergasted by what happened in Bengal.

Don't get it. Flabbergasted at what? That the CPIM didn't do better? As far as I can make out, TMC is the new communist party. So it's funny, but bongs still love the communist manifesto over everything else. And TMC will adopt it at some stage in any case.
The lovely thing is when they get a couple of guys in the cabinet, who like it always happens, start loving the trappings, and eventually become reluctant to toe the party line on issues eventually weakening the party.

Have you run out of bullets? The BJP lost, well that's sad according to you. What's sadder is that you look like a foul-mouthed bitch, now that the dust has settled and all your braying has died down.
