In accepting his nomination to become the 22nd chief justice of the Supreme Court, Reynato Puno had this to say:
“With this acceptance, I pledge to do what is expected of me: to espouse no ideology but constitutionalism; to uphold no theology but the rule of law”
Meanwhile the law is being raped by, who else, our honorable lawmakers, to suit their insatiable greed. This is one of the times I dearly wish there really is a hell. But these devils may find it too familiarly cozy to matter.

El Shaddai mobilized vs signature campaign. While I would prefer a society where religion is a spent force, a social phenomenon too weak to be a factor in shaping public policies, it’s within the religionists’ right to express their own (collective) political opinion as fellow citizens. But how are we sure that when religious groups like El Shaddai mobilize their people, the members themselves take part on their own free will and not just pawns blindly following their leaders?
Building religious groups is a very profitable way of investing one’s energy where the rewards often include power and money as found out by these now-rich leaders who will not hesitate to wield the same power and money to influence public policies that affect everybody - believers, agnostics, and atheists alike. In our country where religion and politics are so intertwined, and where organized religion is as strong as ever, founding a new religion is a proven vehicle for achieving considerable success in putting one’s political agenda on the discussion table.
I myself am against the signature campaign launched by the greedy selfish politicians so they can plunder the nation’s coffers longer than what their terms now would allow but I wish there are more secular and effective ways we can stop these endless schemes by the demons of Congress and Malacanang.

Enter Harry Taylor, a true-blue liberal, who managed to sneak into a conservative-packed North Carolina forum, hosted by the chief simian, George W. Bush.
The questions he addressed to the Simian, plus his hard-hitting rebukes, were hardly addressed by Bush, although he did a half-hearted attempt at explaining away the use of phone tappings, as provisioned by Congress under the Patriot Act. Continue Reading »
