A Quickie: What You Say Now, Nawaz?

Your moron son-in-law Captain (retd) Safdar, is being blamed for the defeat of your party in the recent National Assembly by-election in Mansehra (and talking of nepotism, he was trying to get his brother elected as an MNA as well). So just wondering…what you gonna do now? Go after Safdar? Not a chance, right?? (I am certain you will instead go after your party activists and your district president who have dared to expose the truth (including PML-N sucking-up to PML-Q)…

Sure you have “democracy” in your party (wink)(wink)

BTW: Have always wondered what you saw in that guy to marry off your daughter to him? Or did you just hate your daughter so much?

Personification of Shameless Incompetence

"I am incompetent."

“Hina Rabbani Khar blamed the current economic crisis on the incompetence of the last government. It should be noted Ms Khar was Minister of State for Economic Affairs in that very government”

Isn’t it any surprise then that we have a “pro-poor” budget raises the price of items that they consume the most and encourages them to spend what’s left on cheap cell phones(see Pulses, tea to become costlier, cellphone cheaper)?

Some other interesting features:

Petroleum development levy to end in FY10 BUT Carbon surcharge will be introduced in FY10. So Hina giveth and Hina taketh away….

Withholding tax on domestic vehicles ended. Ah, the poor must be really excited since they can’t even afford a bicycle….

Agriculture and value addition to be given special attention. Ah, so Rs 18 billion for Agriculture will cover it. Compare that to Rs 262 billion allocated for federal ministries.
