Global Warming Excuses Vandals
What if the court rules in favor of the wrong doers? What if the crime was done to stop the victim from preventing the sun to shine? And the criminal is freed after doing you harm. This is the verdict of the UK court that cleared the group of Greenpeace leftists of criminal damages they have inflicted to a power station. See more at Warming Sun
Stuff Brown People Like
Stuff White People Like is about—who would have guessed—stuff white people like. Christian Lander—the man behind SWPL—blogs about everything a blog is not; Lander “catalogs the tastes, prejudices, and consumption habits of well-off, well-educated, youngish, self-described progressives,” Benjamin Schwarz writes in his review of the “runaway hit”. For the millions of hits it received, its ardent followers can now literally browse the thoughts of Lander with their bare hands. SWPL now has a book version which “investigates, explains, and offers advice for finding social success with the Caucasian persuasion.” Mr. Lander is white, and I bet he likes the stuff he’s been getting lately. Good stuff, of course.
Diviner’s Sage
Ever since I had posted Nganga about a month ago, the mere sight of herbal vendors of Quiapo nowadays prompts a chuckle. The witty, if not outright hilarious, comments from fellow bloggers made it one of the funniest entries I had posted to date.
I was in Quiapo the other day to buy makabuhay twigs for my mother. While paying for my purchase, I was tempted to ask Manang (my herbal vendor suki in Quiapo) if by chance she had any talampunay in stock. But then again I didn’t because I had already asked her once before; the first time proved funny, but a second time might be annoying. As I now know, thanks to Noypetes, talampunay leaves and seeds are smoked like cigarettes to assuage asthmatic conditions; however, its sale has been banned due to its narcotic and antispasmodic properties.
However, as I bid Manang a fond adieu, what came to mind was this obscure hallucinogenic herb from Mexico, salvia divinorum. It’s once again making the international news circuit as of late. In the United States, this herb remains legal, trendy and not thoroughly studied. I didn’t bother asking Manang if she has any in stock, though I wonder if it does exist in the country, especially with the special relationship that Manila enjoys with Mexico.
Until a decade ago, this mind-altering member of the mint family, or “diviner’s sage” as some call it, was largely limited to those seeking revelation under the tutelage of Mazatec shamans in its native Oaxaca, Mexico. Today, it is widely available for lawful sale in the United States — online and in head shops.
Americans youths have started favoring salvia over the older Americans’ marijuana. In fact, more than 5,000 YouTube videos have been uploaded which depict these thrill-seeking youths’ journeys into various altered states of silliness.

Sweetened & Stirred
Unlike many photobloggers who post their choiced works accompanied with only minimal technical details and/or a short blurb about the subject and nature of the locale, I am one usually inspired to post images — including the ordinary and seemingly mundane — with a short story, news article, work of fiction, evocative quote by a popular figure, or in this particular case, an inaugural address by President Joseph Ejercito Estrada delivered at the Quirino Grandstand on June 30, 1998.
In the photograph I had taken of my suki candy vendor on Avenida, it was the abundance of sweet candies with their colorful wrappers that brought to mind Erap’s speech, which according to Manolo Quezon, “a masterpiece of mass psychology; of personalistic rule appealing directly to the people; it is the most perfect example of a speech designed to pander to the longings of the masses.”
In essence, it was a superbly crafted discourse, saccharined to appease the soured spirit of the tired toiling masses who gifted him with a landslide victory, or in more vulgar terms: a speech akin to a proverbial kiss that precedes the anal trespass.
