It's bizarrely appropriate that I'm using the title of a Britney Spears song to title this post about our ludicrous politicians and government. Yet again, this crazy country of morons (presently company sadly included) is thisclose to ejecting a President, threatening to turn our "democratic process" into one big fat joke. You know, with this kind of track record let's forget elections. Let's just agree that we install a President via one of our trademarked "People Power" (blech) movements, let that President keep going until we're tired of him, and then People Power him out of office and install a replacement. It'll save us a bundle of cash that can go to education and fighting corruption.
I'm no fan of Gloria, whose worst traits are that she's an influence peddler and she has a family that rivals Cory's in greed and dirt. However, she was "elected" in the last polls. Did she cheat? Probably. Did anyone else cheat? Probably, but that's irrelevant. Gloria was proclaimed the winner by Congress. That can only be undone by another act of Congress - impeachment. Unless Gloria steps down a-la Nixon, but that's not going to happen.
So, the economy kicks back into the dark ages, we have the specter of Noli freaking de Castro becoming President, and this country is almost all the way to shitsville. Whoopee.
