STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES

I was without Internet for more than 18 hours. All the houses in Kuala Terengganu that I landed in were without pc even. So when I got home the first thing I did was to surf the blogs. I choked on my sata when I read the quotes here, here and here. I am sure there are more blogs with posts on the subject.

I have 6 children. 5 of them are female and 4 of the females are bloggers. My only daughter-in-law also blogs. I just want the Honourable Minister to know that I did not raise my daughters as liars or enemies of the state. Their blogs, just like the blogs of the other women bloggers are online and open to scrutiny. Where are the lies and seditions in these blogs? Just because one Indonesian TV presenter commented about the hassles she went through covering the Floral Fest 2007 in her blog does not mean that all women bloggers are liars. That girl could have some valid points. A smart minister would have investigated her grouses and diplomatically settled it with her ( and her audience). Lashing out at innocent parties is not the way.

It is lucky that my daughters have some sense of humour in them. For them and for all the fine women bloggers that I read occasionally, I give you more stupid quotes. The difference is, these quotes are funny:

"FOR RENT: CONDOM... ONLY US$650."

"I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were ever supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever."

Let us wonder how many people in the cabinet can appreciate the quotes.
