Dang yo, I haven’t been blogging regularly.
I might have mentioned this before, but the biggest reason I don’t blog is because I decide I want to edit something before I publish it; a few days later, I’ve lost my train of thought and the draft never makes it to the blog. There’s certainly a lot of stuff to blog about (including: I joined the Tehreek-e-Insaaf recently, and I’ve almost finished my petition to start a library in Islamabad), but I get too caught up in trying to get my writing just right…
That said, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t really matter how much editing I put into a post: I inevitably read it several times after publishing and tinker with it then. So, I’m trying something new right now: I’ve posted a 80%-complete draft on the Nairaing Foundation blog about shadow cabinets. It’s not quite as well-digested as I would like and I think I want to simplify the wording a little and add a proper conclusion, but now that it’s out there, I think I’ll have more of an incentive to fix it.
Let’s see.
You joined the Tehreek-e-Insaaf? When? Why?
When will you send the petition? And to whom? Can I help? Get signatures or whatever?
Joined TI?? And you always assert Imran Khan’s views are all confused and wrong.
Says more about our choices than anything else. You can teach an honest man the finer points of policy; you can’t teach a crooked politician honesty. IK’s as honest as Pakistani politics gets.
I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while but it’s been pushed to the backburner.
I’m not entirely sure what an honest politician is, I don’t think there has ever been one in the history of the world. There have been honest leaders, but a politician by definition is a dishonest, sycophantic, s**t head whose only goal in life is to bilk people out of as much money as he/she can. Show me a good politician and I will show you some one who has everyone fooled.
