Fri Jul 16 COPPELL, Texas – A city official says the mayor of an upscale Dallas suburb who investigators believe shot dead her teenage daughter before killing herself had been facing a spending review.

City Manager Clay Phillips has told the Dallas Morning News that he asked the city attorney to investigate Coppell (kuh-PEL') Mayor Jayne Peters' city-issued credit card use. The Friday report says Phillips did not provide details of the questionable charges since October.

Here we have it; the mayor of a small town in USA committed suicide along with her daughter because she didn’t have enough means and measures to support herself and her daughter all the while being the "Mayor" of a small town. Can we imagine something like that happening in Pakistan? Unthinkable is the one syllable answer, our Nazims or MPA’s do not commit suicide firstly because they don't have to and secondly if committing suicide is a form of a sick twisted ritual, then they have people who perform this inhumanely unholy ritual everyday of the week, all over Pakistan, round the year.

It does not matter how bleak the situation is, the absolute worst that the world throws at you does not justify suicide, it just doesn’t, but I wish our politicians take this women as an example and start following in her footsteps so we the people could finally see some light at the end of the tunnel and start hoping once again.

Since we know that our politicians will never ever face a situation of financial rigidness, here are some suggestions to motivate them to go for it and end their life before we, the people end ours:

1) Not getting the agreed upon percentage in an under the table deal

2) Not getting a bullet proof vehicle for their kids to go to school in

3) Not getting a personal helicopter and a helipad

4) Not getting the status of being officially untouchable

5) Not getting the status of being god

6) Not getting the citizen ship of a European Country

7) Not being officially declared as above the law

8) Not being officially declared as exempted from every type of taxation

9) Not getting their faces printed on the currency notes

10) Not getting a Nishan-e-Imtiaz and a mausoleum space reserved for them during their lifetime

I sincerely hope our filthy politicians perform this ritual on themselves ASAP so Pakistan can finally get rid of the Bad Omen surrounding us for the past 63 long and painful years.

Pakistan Zindabad

Congratulations to all my Pakistani brothers and sisters for Pakistan has at last reached adulthood by passing the 18th amendment. We were politically, mentally and ethically minors when the 17th amendment was passed and by passing the 18th amendment we have proved that we are all grown up and adults, or have we really? the ground reality begs to differ. Just because we have an elected parliament along with a democratically elected president does not mean we have defeated the demons in ourselves and have no personal hidden agendas. No sir, it does not.

The people of Pakistan who had deposited all their eggs into the basket of democracy are still on the roads protesting, demanding and fighting for their very basic human and municipal rights. Electricity, Flour, Sugar just to name a few along with various other basic necessities are still no where to be found or are a luxury to afford.

MNA's and MPA's who were suspended by courts for fake Degrees and Certificates are getting tickets again and children are being molested, raped and mercilessly killed, i don't mean to sound negative or pessimistic and i am not implying or blaming democracy for these inhumane acts of terror but all this hurts even more now because we, the people of Pakistan had very high hopes for the rule of democracy, speedy and strict justice, accountability of all regardless of the stature, peace and a just society. But here we are, two something years in the rule of democracy still cursing ourselves and the government.

The saddest aspect of this entire scenario of autocracy disguised as democracy is somehow if mid term elections are held now or in the near future we would again choose the same people all over again to treat us like slaves. This is called being loyal and loyalty beyond any doubts or questions. But we can't help it, in our country we are always presented with two choices, chose the evil or the bad, so the choice that we make comes back to bite us right where it hurts the most.

For our politicians the age old saying should be redefined as "With great power comes an even greater opportunity to lie, cheat and steal" and that's exactly what they do.
