, Qazi Hussain Ahmed, A President who had a reputation for holding lengthy press conferences noticed a journalist get up and leave for part of his speech. When he came back, the President asked him where he had gone. “To get a haircut,” the journalist said. “But,” said the President , “why didn’t you do that before my press conference?” “Because,” the journalist replied, “I didn’t need one then.” One evening two bachelor MNAs staying at an Islamabad hostel were talking over dinner. The conversation drifted from politics to woman assembly members and then to cooking. “I got a cookbook once,” said the first graduate MNA, “But I couldn’t do anything with it.” “Too much fancy stuff in it , huh?” asked the second MNA. “You said it,” the first MNA replied, nodding. " Every one of those recipes began the same way: 'Take a clean plate……'"
"He's still tight with us in the war against terror and that's what I appreciate. He understands that we've got to keep Al Qaeda on the run...and I appreciate his strong support." "Experience is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald." .....election fools  The country's permanent finance minister is the IMF. Its commander-in-chief for the next five or seven or, God willing, ten years will be Musharraf. So the fools who took part in the election, what were they running for? sheikh rasheed's election campaign...........
 .....oh leghari "Farooq Ahmad Khan Leghari is the biggest thief in Pakistan because he even stole the carpets from the presidency. There are 20 cases of corruption against him pending with NAB." (Munir Khan - Dy. Secretary ARD) Last man standing Who is to be blamed for the World Cup debacle? Gen Tauqir Zia certainly thinks it was not his fault.The PCB boss seems to be living in a fool's paradise where everybody but him is at blame. 
As we look back at the past three years, one is reminded of the sepia-toned movie, Last Man Standing. In the movie, actor Bruce Willis plays the role of a man brought in to support one of the warring factions of a desert town. In the end, he is the left as the only survivor of an orgy of killing on both sides. Indeed the scenario of the international season gone by, has left only General Tauqir Zia standing. Gone are the days when the captain went down with the ship. (S. Alvi/D)

IMRAN KHAN: "There is light at the end of the tunnel for Chaudhris of Gujrat, but it's that of an oncoming train which will run them over".
PML (Q): "Benazir look like a crippled cobra whose fangs are clipped." The only good thing about his Millat Party is the much-photographed face of its Islamabad activist, Ms Ayla Malik. Why can't the other political parties recruit similarly bright-looking cadres? "Give me seven years and I'll change the complexion and culture of politics in Pakistan," said Musharraf to an applauding 'jam-packed' crowd of Pakistani-American 'elite' assembled in the city of New York to hear him speak for 80 minutes. According to a news report, this was the same elite crowd which had been as equally generous with its applause to Benazir B hutto and Nawaz Sharif in 'yesteryear'. (AK)
On May 16,1994 renowned journalist Kamran Khan met former Prime minister Nawaz Sharif at his Model Town house. After lunch, Nawaz brought up the subject of how Gen.Aslam Beg early in 1991 had sought a meeting with him (then prime minister) to which he brought Major-General Asad Durrani, chief of the ISI. They told him that funds for vital on-going covert operations were drying up, how they had a foolproof plan to generate money by dealing in drugs. They asked for his permission to associate themselves with the drug trade, assuring him of full secrecy and no chance of any trail leading back to them. Nawaz remarked that on hearing this he felt the roof had caved in on him. He told them he could have nothing to do with such a plan and refused to give his approval. (D)  During the Mehrangate investigations of 1993 which led up to the Supreme Court case, Younas Habib (YH) of HBL/MBL, as per his statement filed in court (recorded in Karachi under section 161 Cr.P.C), disclosed that the following political and other pay-offs were made between 1991 and 1994: General Mirza Aslam Beg Rs 140 million; More to this:   Technical Notes From the Author: These quips and graphics, which I gather for my comments from electronic and print media , are not an absolute reflection of my personality nor do they convey the entire spectrum of my political posture. (I have stronger feelings on some issues than those that I express on this page.) I am not left-brain or right-brain dominant. (I'm just dominant) I've been told by my friends that I think and often speak from a centralized location in my posterior, whatever that means. |
