3 weeks of ... public masturbation!

So these "street-fights" - or rather ritualized form thereof - been on for three weeks now. The stubborn old man GP running his bald head into the wall, day after day. What a pity this "querulant" didn't use this formidable energy while he was Prime Minister... Or rather he USED it, but not for profit, prosperity and happiness of Nepal - rather for himself and the wider Koirala gang. It's a pity the discipline in the Congress Party is of the indian-feudal variety - deeply ingrained in centuries of social conditioning. Reminds me of the South Korean airliner crash in Taiwan where the Captain flew on a perfectly clear night into a mountain, last words heard were polite Copilot's "Sir, maybe..." The sad thing, Koirala doesn't even have a Copilot, just some grease-monkeys and luggage handlers... Who's gonna tell him it's a New Century, New Year?
