Boring 3

I just can't stress it more...I HATE BORING DAYS!!!. And thats what I seem to be getting these day. Zero job at the work, and the inability to do what I like. Just plain boring.
In India news, the Uma Bharati is not entertaining at all. Its downright infuriating. She is consistently making fun of the Indian laws, and the govt seems to be letting her do it. First, it was the submitting of her resignation to the BJP party chief, and now its her 'Tiranga yatra'. Why doesn't the UPA govt show some guts for once and arrest her? She already has a non-bailable warrant against her. If I may be a little racist/politically incorrect/rude, 'Sardar ke barah baje hain kya?'
And yes, are you following the Olympics? I do it on the BBC, and it seems that the major stories on it are the doping scandals, the US basketball teams loss, and the Iraqi teams taking part. And the last one seems to edge out the other two whenever it occurs. Right now, there was one reporter on teh beeb who was talking about he Iraqi participation, and how it was so well received. Now, don't get me wrong, the fact that Iraq is taking part is great, but should we make such a big issue about it? The Olympics are all about human achievement, not national or cultural ones. This is simply wrong. If Iraq wins a medal, it should be celebrated. But just the fact that it is taking part is not an earth-shattering event, IMHO. And in between these three stories, the stories about human achievement, like Turkey's big win in the weightlifting, are overshadowed. And then they worry about the low attendance at the Olympics this year. Mention doping and cheating, and people would rather psend their money on other things.
