Partly Facetious: Join Musharraf's party!

"I am getting desperate for some good news."
Published January 8, 2011

"I am getting desperate for some good news."
"Did you not get the..."
"I didn't mean for me personally, but for all the people of this country. There has been no good news on any front, look at inflation, yes they withdrew the price of petrol and products but you know and I know that this would almost certainly lead to borrowing more from the banking sector which would fuel inflation by about the same as raising the petrol prices. And..."
"Rehman Malik says that we will hear some good news soon."
"Malik's good news is for the PPP leadership not for the likes of you and me."
"To be honest, he did refer to the success of the ongoing negotiations with the MQM leadership and if he succeeds in luring the MQM back into the government fold then they can ignore the PML (N) ultimatum."
"MQM had only two federal ministries and..."
"Ah but the other 25 MQM members in the National Assembly keep this government propped up."
"I am sorry, but it was tit for tat. The MQM got the federal ministries it wanted, and need I add few want the ministry for science and technology in this country, but anyway MQM also got what it wanted in Sindh - other than Zulfikar Mirza."
"Right, but ANP is fully supporting the PPP come what may..."
"Maybe the Pushtoons reckon that the President would remember these days when they extended unconditional support to the PPP and perhaps get a better deal in future."
"You have heard the story of the return of the prodigal - see a prodigal's return into the fold is more cherished than one who never left the fold. Its human nature you know."
"I get it so unless one makes a nuisance of oneself one won't get much."
"Precisely."
"Anyway, can we expect any good news for the people of this country rather than for the leadership?"
"A person who asks such a question needs to emigrate..."
"Where can I go, I earn in rupees and..."
"Join Musharraf's party - apparently he gives tickets and financial support to all those who join his party."
"That's an idea!"
