It is really hard to keep a straight face yourself sane when:

1. people screw others nonchalantly
2. brazen attempts to break the law are exposed
3. the law is used to harass people
4. people lie as if they are telling the truth
5. the safeguards for a system are deliberately being broken
6. foot dragging is the game of the day
7. both parties accuse each other of the same charges
8. people pour money as if there’s no tomorrow and no one gets hungry
9. acts favoring relatives are committed
10. Team Unity claims 12-0 in Maguindanao and calls those who doubt the results as sore losers, even if Namfrel itself will not verify if this is true, since they had not witnessed how the votes were counted, and Tonypet Albano had the gall to call Adel Tamano names.

(Yes, this is an obligatory post. I wanted to write an open letter to Senator Fred Lim, but that would be for another day.)
