Copenhagen: US, China clash in climate ping-pong 12/13/2009 COPENHAGEN — They sang each other’s praises in the run up to the Copenhagen climate summit, but China and the United States traded sharp barbs in a superpower standoff that has helped set the UN talks on edge. On key issues ranging from how to share out the burden of slashing greenhouse gases, whether such efforts should be independently verified, or if the United States owes developing countries — including China — a “climate debt,” the world’s two largest carbon polluters were at loggerheads. “The atmosphere seems ....

Mr. Noted’s stinging rebuke BLURBAL THRUSTS Louie Logarta 12/13/2009 The Quezon City mayoralty derby is fast shaping up to be quite a catfight, with the leading contenders — namely Vice Mayor Herbert Bautista of the Liberal Party, Philippine National Railways (PNR) chairman Mike Defensor of the People’s Reform Party (which was established by his aunt Senator Miriam Santiago) and QC 2nd district Rep. Annie Susano of the Nationalist People’s Coalition — trying to gain a head start over the others with the use of just about anything that is available. With still five months remaining before the 2010.... MORE Source:  The Daily Tribune ALTERNATE URL: http://www.classicposters.com/commentary/20091213com4.html

Maguindanao 2004 revisited ENQUIRY Demaree J. B. Raval 12/13/2009

Maguindanao 2004 revisited ENQUIRY Demaree J. B. Raval 12/13/2009 Media reports about the unearthing of election paraphernalia in Maguindanao sites controlled by the Ampatuans have exhumed ugly memories of what might have been. The repeated mention of municipalities in Maguindanao — familiar to us who fought for the opening of the ballot boxes in the May 2004 presidential and vice presidential elections — is a frightening reminder of the sinister operations that surrounded the stolen presidency for Gloria Arroyo. Truth, said Winston Churchill.... MORE Source:  The Daily Tribune ALTERNATE URL: http://www.classicposters.com/commentary/20091213com5.html

Thank you for Christmas VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 12/13/2009 The recent past is disastrous for the people in terms of destructive upheavals of nature, shenanigans of the ruling administration plus the confused and confusing political scenery — not to mention the massacre here and there. The forthcoming future neither appears promising in justice and peace primarily on account of the supposedly national automated national elections posing so many unanswered questions. What a great blessing wherefore for Christian Philippines .... MORE Source:  The Daily Tribune ALTERNATE URL: http://www.classicposters.com/commentary/20091213com6.html

New blood flows into French political dynasties 12/13/2009

New blood flows into French political dynasties 12/13/2009 PARIS — Unfazed by a nepotism scandal that embarrassed the President’s son, young scions of well-known families at both ends of the French political spectrum have launched themselves into public life. Last week the anti-immigrant National Front party led by Jean-Marie Le Pen unveiled his 19-year-old student granddaughter Marion Marechal-Le Pen on the list of candidates for councillor in the greater Paris region. “I have been immersed in politics....
