The Philippine Inquirer's Conrado Banal III confirmed in his column two days ago what most Pinoys in-the-know have known all along: Napocor has been swindling Philippine consumers.  It's been speculated that the government's crusade against Meralco is all about going after their owners, the Lopezes, who happen to own ABS-CBN, the media conglomerate instrumental in televising much of the ZTE scandal, one of the latest in many scandals that has put President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in a bad light (to say the least).

Incredulous.  Pinoys know her as a ranting lunatic; a knee-jerk implusive blowhard; a shameless act-first think-later opportunist; the very archetype of the word "pikon".  Yet this is who our administration is pushing to join what is probably the most prestigious law body in the world.  How can our government keep on finding endless ways of embarrassing itself?

Now before I begin, I just want to make clear that I despise Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's presidency just like any level headed Filipino who knows the score.  But what follows is breathtakingly hilarious in it's stupidity.

The Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) has accused the Arroyo Administration for Representative Crispin Beltran's poor health, which may have led to his death.  "There is no forgiveness for what Arroyo has done to Ka Bel," said KMU spokesman Elmer "Ka Bong" Labog.

FOR CHRIST SAKE!  THE MAN WAS 75 YEARS OLD AND FELL OFF A ROOF!

This is like accusing a butterfly for causing a hurricane to develop on the other side of the planet.  To quote geekdom, this is an EPIC FAIL.
