Deconstructing Mr Bombastic At Easter

It all started with this innocuous Easter Message…

“As we join Christians in the celebration of Easter, may we truly reflect on the quintessential modus vivendi of Master Jesus; The Christ, who peregrinated this incarnation as an exempli gratia of self abnegation, puritanical excrescence, spartan discipline, mental magnitude, hierophantic candour and altruistic effusions, qualities which have become a desiderata for national resurgimento.

“Beyond the fugacious razzmatazz of the moment, I seriously call attention to the rutilanting and coruscating modus vivendi of Master Jesus the Christ and I dare pontificate that save and until we viscerally emblematize the virtues of self-immolation, quintessential abnegation, eulogizeable simplicity, Christ-like humility and immerse ourselves in a platonic emotionalism of agape love and communalistic service, we would have woefully failed in learning and imbibing the true meaning of EASTER.

We must elevate this moment from a proscenium of joie de vivre into one of meditative transcendentalism”. HAPPY EASTER.

Don't Call Us, We'll Call You

Looking back at that day seven months ago when a guilt-ridden ex-governor went to knock on the door of an anti-corruption agency to induce his  own arrest…

As the agency wasn’t in the mood to be guilt-tripped into making an arrest it wasn’t ready to make, the August (actually, September) visitor’s request was politely declined and he was promptly sent on his way.
