My Personal Apologies to Magdalo and the 2010 elections

Anyways, I just couldn’t find a word to sum up the past May 14 senatorial elections, maybe a phrase then would aptly describe it. I was thinking of describing it as something short of a miracle (Fr. Ed Panlilio and the Josons losing the gubernatorial seat comes into mind) but then again when I think of Maguindanao and all the 130 election related murder cases I can’t help but think that the Philippine Elections is the devil’s easter (maybe that’s a bit too strong but it’s pretty close, like a level lower). That and the counting of ballots moving like bullet time but who could blame the teachers? Who wouldn’t count slowly when you got a gun pointed at your head while the rooms are being burned down by some spineless dick heads? Better yet who would wanna count when you’re being burned alive (God bless their souls and may they be welcomed into the pearly gates of heaven)? It seems like the only thing that the COMELEC would unwillingly burn these days is the 1.3B pesos fund for the automation of the 2004 Presidential elections. Oh wait, they did burn that money for the computers that would’ve counted the votes. Apparently those computers never saw the light of day on that May 2004 elections but the 500 million of the 1.3 billion pesos is safe somewhere in a private bank account (or accounts, who knows how deep this is?).
