Wishful thinking?
Our mole says the Baloch who quit The Man of Steel’s camp the other day is all set to cozy up to the late, lamented Big Ben’s Hubby and Billy The Kid. We hear he met an important personage recently and was advised to find a berth at Billy’s. Of course, with Baloch will go the other opportunist (appropriately named Poison Pill), both trying their best to sneak into Billy’s bunch. The Man’s people are not sitting idle, meanwhile, with former min and party heavyweight AA cautioning Billy against accepting opportunists into his Party.
So why do Baloch and Poison Pill want to hitch a ride on Billy’s bandwagon? Because, we’re told, one of the options being explored is that of an interim government led by Billy, former premier SKA and the like. Hubby has apparently let it be known that he has 27 potential bolters at the ready from The Great Khan’s horde and if The Boyz step back, he can have it done and dusted within a week. This could all turn out to be nothing more than wishful thinking, if The Man of Steel and the Maulana have their way. They want a free and fair election asap, and nothing less.
Half-baked plans?
How to shore up The Great Khan’s flailing regime, is the talk of the town at the foot of the Margallas. There are rumours of portfolios being changed, ministers being shown the door, new ones sworn in and the like. Of course, all sorts of plans are baked in the afterhours and binned in the morning, some half-baked devices continue to be mooted for a few days until they fade away. One of these has to do with the Min of Int, making way for an outspoken advocate. According to the latter’s camp, he’s a shoe-in with “90% approval” but no one should underestimate the Min of Int who has connections in the right places.
Did you know?
Did you know that in 1972 Joe Biden became one of the youngest senators in US history but that his happiness did not last long. Just one month later, tragedy struck when in a car crash, Biden lost his young wife and baby daughter. He was left alone to care for his two seriously injured young sons. He was sworn into the US Senate in the same hospital room where his sons were recovering. It was at this low point when Joe thought of ending his life. It was only the thought of his sons that kept him going. For years, he did a long train commute every day back and forth from work so that he could read bedtime stories to his sons and have breakfast with them each morning. He was both mother and father to his boys.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
