Election mode
The no confidence vote in parliament might have been defeated earlier today but what this is what I found in my letter box when I got home:
Malta: Living on the Edge of Europe
Thoughts and happenings from a life on Malta

Three things I don’t like about Franco Debono
- He is so full of himself, always going on about how brilliant he was as a pupil and how exceedingly important his proposals for legal reform are
- His perpetual emphasis on the suffering he has been undergoing while ignoring the fact that the vast majority of Maltese don’t have the privileges he enjoys
- His silliness for continuously checking his mobile phone for calls and messages while being interviewed on national television
A parliament for cry babies
Since the 1990s, the member of parliament’s equivalent to a child stamping his/her feet is to:
- go whining and sniffling to every TV station and newspaper that’s ready to offer you a tissue of space on its media
- exhibit emotional stigmata
- proclaim love for your country while crucifying colleagues and government
Dying – what a jolly activity!
The paralysing influence that the dictatorial North Korean leadership has on its people and country also extends to the Malta-Korea Friendship Association. For the evidence, just take a look at the “activities” page of its website and you’ll see that the most recent update is way back in June 2007; the one before that is May 2006. Morbidly enough, these two “activities” are in fact obituaries. More of the North Korean joie de vivre rubbing off here?
An intercession by the Madonna of Malta
The Madonna of Malta has not left Suha Arafat down after all.
Today the Tunisian Justice Ministry announced the lifting of the summons warrant issued against her in October. Back then, Ms Arafat thought it opportune to implore divine powers to help her overcome a political threat.
This Madonna of Malta is a new source of divine intervention to be reckoned with!
