Partly Facetious: There's enough anger in Punjab

"This decision gives me a comfort level - the only issue is if it is enforceable."
Published June 20, 2012

"This decision gives me a comfort level - the only issue is if it is enforceable."
"What decision? To hold yet another energy conference? I am afraid no one, not even die-hard Zardi's are holding their breath about the outcome."
"Ahmed Mukhtar has asked for three months but interestingly he admitted that Punjab's arrears are only 15.6 billion rupees while that of Sindh are 51 billion rupees while loadshedding is heavier in Punjab."
"Right, I reckon the supply of 800 to 900 MW to Karachi Electric Supply Company, a private sector..."
"Hey, there is enough anger in Punjab, let's not fuel it."
"I agree, but Kaira says the PPP is considering filing charges of sedition I assume against Chief Minister Punjab."
"And that's silly. The Punjab CM and his cabinet are holding office in a camp office with only fans so with temperatures soaring he is likely to get heat stroke and that would soon quiet him down."
"Don't be facetious. Anyway when I referred to a decision giving me some comfort level it certainly wasn't a reference to our energy crisis."
"If you are referring to the end of the immunity days for Sarkozy, then let me add that our President reckons that his party would win again and so his immunity would remain effective."
"Notwithstanding the stellar poor performance of the PPP-led government."
"That's a contradiction in terms: stellar and poor."
"We in Pakistan are forging ahead with new English terms."
"Why English? Why not Urdu?"
"Our President addresses the parliament in English, our Prime Minister reverts to English whenever he is in a suit, which is most times, our Advisor on Interior prefers Minglish..."
"Don't be facetious."
"In any case the decision that gave me comfort level was that taken by Habibur Rehman Punjab police chief who has advised police men to have 38 inch waist lines or else face dismissal."
"That would disqualify the Advisor on Interior from holding office."
"No chance, he would insist he has 28-inch waistline and go to court with a sworn affidavit..."
"But not allow anyone to measure it for him?"
"No, and if the court rules against him, the President will exercise his authority to pardon."
