What does George Washington think of the US$700 Billion bailout package by the Bush administration?  We can’t wake him from his grave but his expression says it all.  

This is a hilarious picture of the next US President.  He goes by the nickname, Manny and he has fists of fury that can knock out any contender, male or female.

For Filipinos in the US of A, let us know how you’re feeling with the upcoming elections.  What a pivotal time!  Regardless of who wins, well we know who will win (heh heh), but both parties have candidates that will change America’s politics from Nov 2008 forwards.

It’s the dawn of a new age.

For our non-Filipino readers who may not be aware who the smiling face is, he is Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao (born December 17, 1978), simply known as Manny Pacquiao, a Filipino professional boxer. He is currently the WBC Lightweight Champion and the WBC Super Featherweight Champion, and was the former Ring Magazine’s featherweight champion, world champion at IBF Super Bantamweight, and WBC Flyweight divisions. Manny is the first Filipino and Asian boxer to win four world titles in different weight divisions. He took over as the Ring Magazine pound for pound number 1 ranked boxer in the world on June 9, 2008 after Floyd Mayweather, Jr. announced his retirement from boxing.

It looks like the gold that the Philippines will be getting will be coming from the local mines and not at the Beijing Olympics.  For those who are not sure, we’ve never had an Olympic gold medal hung around the necks of our athletes. Gold has eluded us since 1924, the first time we attended the Olympic games in Paris.  We have won the silver in boxing, but that was back in 1996 (Atlanta, USA).  But how could we possibly win with a 15 man team?  Where are our athletes?  AND What’s up with our stomachs - diarrhea before the event?  Sigh.

The Philippine Inquirer has a very scathing, but funny account of the flops at the games.
