President and the starlet(s)

i have been made aware of a scandal (most people are aware, but yet it is not spoken of) surrounding the chief executive of our little old island.
there are two personalities involved in this scandal and the particulars of both are quite stunning. so much so that even tiger woods would say "yikes".
the first of our contestants is the very well known Sangeetha Weeraratne. she of the silver screen caught the medamulane eye so much, that arrangements were made to keep her close at hand to facilitate 'access'.
the first step part of this arrangement was to have her married off to one Roshan Kariyapperuma. the 'price' paid for this arrangement was to make the father of Roshan, Priyantha Kariyapperuma the chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Commission (TRC). this Priyantha used to work at Nestle where he was quite dishonourably discharged. prior to Nestle he was the houseboy of the medamulane household. trusted only to run to the kadei to bring the bread. he is now a pimp of no small repute and is rumored to have a bevy of young women at his disposal who are provided to the holders of power.
our second contestent is the very well 'endowed' Anarkali Akarsha. an empty headed bimbo in any definition anywhere in the world, she too has felt the 'touch' of power.
after the initation of an affair of Tiger Woods proportions, she was kept close at hand working in the foreign ministry. this was deemed 'safe' as the foreign minister at the time was Mangala Samaraweera; an openly homosexual man. at the time of Mangala's ignominous exit, she was discharged of 'all duties'. furthermore, i have it on good authority that Anarkali's breast surgery was funded by taxpayers money as well. her career and even her selection as Ms. Sri Lanka was due to the influence coming out of temple trees. given the father and sons recent fawning over Anarkali (at the Southern Provincial Council elections) one wonders what kind of tag team performance ms. akarsha is used to.
furthermore, on executive trips overseas, the chief pimp in waiting, Sajin Vaas is the point man for procuring entertainers/hostesses to make sure the VIPs in the retinue are not without comforts. his reward for all efforts are to continue the follu of mihin air after wasting $ 3 billion without any repercussions.
locally, it is none other than Dr. Mervyn Silva who is the chief procurer and distributor of damsels. the women involved are none other than the poor girls who come to Colombo looking for a better life and better jobs. they are bmboozled into this life of horror by the people to whom we have given power. we are as guilty as they are for knowing all this and yet doing nothing.
Dr. Silva's reward for his efforts include an immense security detail, immunity for his chief bodyguard; Kudu Lal, immunity to his son Malaka even after beating up another citizen in public with over 10 witnesses, immunity to mervyn himself for violating diplomatic rules and entering the Canadian embassy by force and waving weapons around demanding a visa for his son Malaka. oh yes, lest you think this immunity was fleeting or only for specific situations, i wish it were only so. unfortunately it is blanket immunity for the silvas for anything they do.
on a final note, i am not aware if the first lady is aware of all these shenanigans or if she is and turns a blind eye.
while all this is quite distasteful, it is none of our business what people do behind closed doors.
that being said, people who live in glass houses dare not throw stones. these are the kinds of people levelling allegations against General Sarath Fonseka in terms of his character and sexual conduct. it seems they decided to project their conduct as if it were General Fonsekas.

Sura Maeraya Mahindagen pamanak Waeramani...

"Sura Maeraya Mahindagen pamanak Waeramani..., sikka padan samaadiyami" (the new and improved 5th pansil padaya/precept)

with all due respect to all buddhist (among whose numbers i count myself), the above statement is developed from the statements of the jathika hela urumaya. (video link here).

if there was ever a doubt that these charlatans are nothing more than fork tongued snakes in saffron robes, appealing to the very basic tenets of our culture to gather votes. the only way these fools will attain nirvana is if Nirvana runs them over when they are crossing galle road.

shame on them, for the decpetion. shame on them for the disrepute they cause to the buddha, dhamma and sangha.

i wonder if their actions fall into the "aananthara paapa karma"?

Dear Anonymous...

unlike you, i do not believe that the vagaries of my life are relevant to the blogosphere. nor am i so full of myself to consider that people other than my family and friends would give two hoots as to what goes on in my life.
unlike you, i do not read blogs that i don't like hence i am absolved of the need to blow the hot air you seem to be full of.
lastly, i don't blame you for being anonymous in blogs due to the prevailing situation where bloggers are arrested for airing their greivances. that being said however, i do think that you are a coward for not leaving at least an alias.
you sir, are a non-entity as far as i am concerned and i would request that if you have nothing constructive to offer or an educated debate to be bring to the table, kindly mind your own business and allow us keyboard reformists to do what we do.
you may continue to do what you do best, but find a forum where your inanities are welcome as you sir are not welcome here.

this is it. this is our time

“Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country” ~ John F. Kennedy


For years, our beautiful homeland has been wracked with conflict, instability and an imperfect system. For years, you, along with the rest of the country have bemoaned the state of affairs and the inability to make things right. The fact that no one with the ability and the will has stepped up to right the wrongs. Not forgetting that the people who did, were lost to us to the fires of enmity or the horrors of terrorism.


Of wrongs, there are many. Injustice, impunity and a culture of “thugs rule”. Where for decades, thugs and drug dealers have been protected and to some extent promoted. Protected from the law, protected from the wrath of the people. Promoted to sell their drugs and poison to our children. Knowing all of this, we are yet powerless to stem the tide. We read about these people. We see these people. Llike us, so do the authorities. Yet, nothing is done to any of them. Due process has become a joke. When being part of a police force means that honest policemen have to look away from the actions of these jackals, they too become jaded. Why try, when the only reward is demotion, transfer or dishonorable discharge?


To improve this situation, one must lead from example. Exemplary conduct and discipline inspires the same of subordinates. A clean and efficient civil service can only exist with dedicated individuals with a commitment to excellence. Where in the world can one find inspiration for such lofty goals in this current climate?


A government exists and functions FOR the people. The people do not exist to support the government. Therefore, the people get the government that they choose. Choose a dictator, and so you shall have it (pray that he or she would hold elections again to provide another choice later). Choose a progressive leader and you shall have far-sighted policies and economic prosperity.


Populism, promises and subsidies have become the bread that the public thrives on. Where does the money for subsidies come from? They are the fruit of the labors of the people. What is the point of a government subsidy of 10% on food and fuel when everyone pays 20% VAT?


Too rare, in the history of nations, are people given the opportunity to effect the change they want to see. Even fewer have been the occasions in which such change has been ushered in by people making the correct choice.


My fellow Sri Lankans, such an opportunity will be at hand on the 26th of January. For on that day, we are all free to choose a candidate to be our president. We have seen where the current economic policies and ambivalence to violence has led us. Do we need six more years of favoritism, cronyism, economic disasters, dead journalists and bloggers behind bars?


This is our time. This is our opportunity to rise up and make change happen. The power is with us, as the people to vote in for what we need. Ghandi said, “Be the change you want to see”. I say vote for the change that you want to see. Make the change you want, happen. The power to do so is literally in your hands


The age of conflict for Sri Lanka has passed. Make the choice to usher in the peace and prosperity our nation and our people deserve. The time for voting based on parental or historical leanings is past. Now is the time. This is our time. Make it work.

If you would like to Purchase SB Dissanayaka...

****UPDATE****

the non-monetary offered to SB Dissanayake is the post of Prime Minister at the conclusion of the General Election.

like all promises/offers made by the current administration, this is expected to be full of the same ingredient required of hot air balloons

*****End Update****

the asking price is now Rs. 400 million plus. (Christmas Sale price - VAT exempt)

the price increase is due to the the payment of Rs. 400 million being paid to him to effect a melodramatic crossover
