A teary-eyed Karl Rove announces that he will resign effective August 31. He will leave The Bush Administration that is already on the defensive in all fronts.

Recently, in a statement, Senator Ping Lacson has said that Political Amnesty may be needed in order for us to start on a clean slate. My counter-argument of course, is that giving political Amnesty is only a recourse for those who are guilty and have misused their power. The slate will only […]

The Department of Justice for all its inequities is definitely consistent. Everything is legal, as long as it doesn’t meet the ire of the Administration. In yet another eyebrow raising decision, they have made the $330 million broadband deal as legal as shoplifting. Wait a minute, shoplifting is illegal. Well, you […]

Angelo Reyes is “everywhere man”, a Jack of all trades, or maybe Jack of all Secretaries. From one department to another, because of his undying support for President Gloria Arroyo, he keeps being awarded these nice little positions.
