Deng Xiao Ping reinterpreted and the USSA!

Dean Jorge Bocobo in his blog says that America has taken on socialism and a planned market. The Federal Reserve's 85 billion dollar or more intervention to save the underwriters is unprecendented in history. Welcome to the USSA or the United Socialist States of America!

Remember Croissant Commie and bridge player Deng Xiao Ping? His most famous line is

"It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice!"

With that he launched China's "socialism with Chinese characteristics". And the crowning glory of all that market reform is the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing. Of course the reform has its dark side. Capitalistic greed is the likely reason why there is melamine in Chinese made baby formula!

With the Federal Reserve intervention, I would like to restate Deng and I really intend the pun,especially in this US Presidential derby season. My apologies to the Paramount Leader!

"It doesn't matter if the candidate is black or white, as long as it can save its own ass!"

So far White McCain and Black Obama haven't really given statements on how they plan to deal with the continuing fallout. Obama has taken on promises and the requisite Bush bashing. While McCain seems to be in a Republican daze. McCain promises to add more regulation. This is taken on by Obama who says that McCain stood for more dereugulation

Sarah Palin and SNL lampooners are the only ones that provide entertainment. Palin the Alaskan beauty queen, can only express "disappointment" while downing a mug of coffee.

BTW, the USSA has been criticized by Europeans as the new USSR by putting missiles so near to Russia. No wonder that the Russian duocracy of Putin and Medvedev are pissed out to the extent that they sent the Bears over the North Pole once more. But Europeans should eat their words. The EU is more like the USSR. It's Brussels politburo has little accountability.

Obviously, we are in a new stage in history. We have a socialism with American characteristics. And as one blogger says, this is Corporate Socialism. The proletariat pays for the losses,while the board of directors get bailed out (who else but by Washington) and still has the chance to turn it a profit. The Fed has said that the mortgage liabilities would be sold cheap! Who's gonna make a profit and get to live in the American dacha? Definitely it isn't the American who can't make the mortgage payments.He/she has been kicked out of his/her dream dacha!

In socialism the worker gets screwed and gets treated to a May Day parade. In capitalism the worker gets screwed and gets treated to an ex-employee parade on Wall Street. But hey! He/she still has the chance to buy out the one who screwed him!

Simoun's lamp has been lit, finally.. not by one but by the many!

"So often have we been haunted by the spectre of subversion which, with some fostering, has come to be a positive and real being, whose very name steals our serenity and makes us commit the greatest blunders... If before the reality, instead of changing the fear of one is increased, and the confusion of the other is exacerbated, then they must be left in the hands of time..." Dr Jose Rizal "To the Filipino People and their Government" Jose Rizal dominates the Luneta, which is sacred to the Philippine nation as a place of martyrdom. And many perhaps all of those executed in the Luneta, with the exception of the three Filipino secular priests martyred in 1872, have read Rizal's  El Filibusterismo . Dr Rizal's second novel is a darker and more sinister one that its prequel but has much significance across the century and more after it was published for it preaches the need for revolution with caveats,  which are when the time is right and who will in...

Kung bakit dapat maging wikang pambansa din ang Ingles

Isang kakatwang eksena ang nasaksihan ko sa isang pribabdong opisina kamakailan lang. Dalawang empleyado ang inatasang bigyan ng solusyon ang isang isyu tungkol sa logistics. Ang isa ang tubong Davao at ang isa ay taga Iloilo. Ang unang wika nila ay Cebuano (Bisaya) at Hiligaynon (Ilonggo). Ang dalawang wika ay halos pareho ngunit may mga katagang iba ang kahulugan sa isa't isang wika. Ginamit nila ang wika nilang kinalakihan at hindi sila nagkaintindihan. Ang nangyari tuloy ay gumamit na lang sila ng wikang Ingles! Yung na nga rin ang sabi ko. Mag-English na lang kaya kayo! At bakit di wikang Filipino ang ginamit nila? Sa totoo lang, marami pa rin ang hindi bihasa sa Filipino upang gamitin ito sa mga larangan tulad ng logistics. At hindi lamang sa mga larangang teknikal, sa mga biyahe ko sa ibat-ibat lugar sa Pilipinas, ang mga naka-paskel sa mga CR o palikuran tungkol sa pagtitipid ng tubig ay naka sulat sa 1)Wika ng rehiyon 2) Wikang Ingles 3) at minsa'y sa wikang Filipino S...

Leonard Co (1953-2010), Filipino botanist

With much sadness and shock I learned from WWF chair Lory Tan that internationally renowned botanist Leonard Co was killed together with a guide and a forest ranger last Monday, 15 November in a firefight in Leyte between Armed Forces of the Philippines soldiers and Communist guerrillas. As the Philippine Daily Inquirer reports it ,  Co and his researchers were surveying a forest plot of the Energy Development Corporation (EDC) for native Philippine trees and plants especially those that are in danger of extinction, like this Rafflesia flower (the picture I got from Dr Julie Barcelona's blog . Thank you Julie) The 41 year old Communist insurgency has again claimed another life of the best and brightest of the Philippines. In Leonard Co's case, a bright life that cannot be replaced. For he was one of if not the last of  the classically trained botanists in plant taxonomy and systematics in the Philippines. While one can learn the basics of these disciplines i...
