If the heading does sound like Greek and Latin to you, it is Latin. It means “Now for Then”. I am returning to blogging with a promise to myself that I will blog at least once a day. The foolish reaffirmation is partly due to my own inclination to be a writer some day and partly due to the hangover from a cheesy movie I watched in the airplane called “Julie and Julia”.

The one that matters
Of all the pieces, that I have read about the terror attacks and media coverage surrounding it, this is the one that really matters.

Partners in Deep Sorrow
I have a new friend. Just like me, this person drowned himself in alcohol last Tuesday after hearing the election news results. We both drunk and hungover mourning the loss of Sarah Palin and the other dude who was on her ticket. While I drank and watched Nailin Palin all night long, my new friend who has a job as the editor of a newspaper, took up the revenge mission a notch higher and did this
The Sapulpa Daily Herald printed Wednesday’s paper like any other day.
Except for one omission….no mention that Barack Obama won presidential election.
One paragraph on the front page did report the majority of Creek County voted for McCain.
Bravo, my friend!!! I am going to find this editor and add him as my best budy in facebook or send him some tweets through twitter. As a tribute to this great deed, I am going to blogroll the newspaper. Find them in the “I Support” section of my blogroll.

Hats Off – Hindi
The Election season is over. In all the euphoria, we should not forget the tremendous contribution of the Hindi Language to this election. We lent the English language the most important word of this election season. People loved it when it was convenient and hated when it was not but the effect of the word can never be understated. Ladies, Gentlemen and everyone in between, I am calling this election for the word – “PUNDIT”

10 Things the Food Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know
The one thing you need to know and this is the only thing that you need to know- whatever you are eating everyday from the mainstream food industry, it is junk and not food.

Versatility is one of your outstanding traits
Colin Powell might have played the race card in the back by supporting Obama but here is an endorsement to energize the republican base of McCain.
Al-Qaeda Supporters Endorse McCain
“This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier,” the message said. “Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush.”
Can it get any better than this for the war mongering base. The enemy has picked you to fight with him. Doesn’t it mean you are the chosen one?. Rally once more around stupidity.
Two Quit Call Center Jobs Over Anti-Obama Robocalls
At least two people have quit their jobs at call centers over scripts that accuse Barack Obama of working closely with Bill Ayers.
Haven’t these jobs been outsourced yet? Check out this story in Washington Post on how efficient Indian call centers are…

Under the pseudonym Carol Miller, Chaturvedi’s ability to deftly work around the standard line, “The check is in the mail,” is now being challenged by clients throwing out new responses: “How do you expect me to pay? This is the worst crisis since the Great Depression.”

Palin galvanizes Democratic Party base | Politics | Reuters
“When Palin’s radical and extremist views are combined with her inexperience and questionable record, it makes for an energizing brew more potent than Red Bull,”
She is not a pitbull! She is a Red Bull!!!!!

I think this should only tell us one thing- the Democrats have a poor taste of women.

More Material for McCain/Palin
McCain/Palin,
Here is my one contribution to your bid for the White House. Obama is so dangerous and shameful that he makes married women want him. Here is proof
Angelina Jolie: “Obama Would Be Great For My Family”
Angelina Jolie is a mom of six and she wants Obama for her family. Obama is a lecher who is ready to lead the Penthouse and not the White House.
Not only is he a secret Muslim, a secret terrorist, a secret lover of married women but also a secret shark. Read the following story and you would know he fathered a baby shark
Virgin shark got pregnant in Virginia aquarium | U.S. | Reuters
Scientists using DNA testing have confirmed the second-known instance of “virgin birth” in a shark — a female Atlantic blacktip shark named Tidbit that produced a baby without a male shark.
I hope you pick up on these stories, slam him in your rallies and keep America paranoid.

Happy Birthday
It is no secret that I love Mahatma Gandhi. In fact, I adore him so much that I sleep over stacks and stacks of paper that have his face imprinted and bear the signature of the Governor of Reserve Bank of India. My fervent worship of the Mahatma is such that I will not part with these papers even if others need it desperately, truly, madly, deeply . Gandhi said share the wealth but he did not mean share the wealth that has his pictures on it.
Gandhiji had a pair of spectacles, wooden sandals and a Bhagavad Gita when he died. He also took a gun shot saying “Hey Ram“. Only Channa Dal (sorry, I meant Bajrang Dal) has understood the inner meaning of this message. Keeping up with his words, Dal has embraced all religions as long as the religions have accepted Ram as their supreme savior. Even today, Dal is working hard to reinforce the cryptic last words of Gandhi by attacking churches and other places of worship.
It is wonderful to celebrate Gandhi Jayanthi sitting in the US because we can still watch the movie Gandhi on a DVD and also go out for beer in the evening- a luxury that we do not have in India because Gandhi Jayanthi is a dry day. In fact, I have resolved in true Gandhian fashion to respect the earth and live sustainably. I will not drive to bars anymore and waste fuel. I will buy liquor from my local grocery store in recyclable bottles and drink heartily at my home in a reusable cup.
