Palace spokesmen should stop whining and start trumpeting the good news. Not just the headline grabbing ones involving “privileged prisoners” and wayward bus drivers or P-Noy’s “love life” as these tend to be too “showbizy” and, worse, trivialize the situation we are in right now. We are in dire straits, at least most of us, and if the Palace handlers cannot get it or wish things away then that is a sure fire formula for trouble. Heck, even the manner the Palace is promoting its Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) elections postponement is less then transparent.

Why can’t we debate that if has really been so submitted, for example?
