The Great Pretender: You Can Criticise But ...?

Oh yes Im the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending Im doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
Im lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes Im the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
Youve left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart cant conceal

Ooh ooh yes Im the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what Im not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that youre still around

Yeah ooh hooToo real when I feel what my heart cant conceal
Oh yes Im the great pretender

Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what Im not you see
Im wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that youre
Pretending that you're still around

Govt Won't Censor Internet Bloggers But They Must Be Responsible, Says Abdullah

From Azman Ujang

LONDON, Jan 24 (Bernama) -- The government won't censor Malaysian bloggers on the Internet but they must be responsible for what they write, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Tuesday.

"We do not censor the Internet and that's our policy, but they (bloggers) must understand that there are also laws on defamation and sedition, for example.

"These laws are enforced. They should bear in mind that they cannot hide and they cannot take advantage of doing something against the law," he told Malaysian reporters here in his first comments on the country's growing number of online bloggers of late.

He was responding to a question on legal suits for alleged defamation filed by The New Straits Times newspaper and four of its senior executives against two popular blogs, Screenshots and Rocky Bru.

"The law is the law. They cannot hide and hope to be protected under some kind of a cover or whatever they think that they have," the prime minister added.

Abdullah said it was obvious that for bloggers and for journalists of other media, duty and responsibility must go together.

"And if you want freedom, what is freedom without responsibility," he asked. "I don't agree with freedom without responsibility. Freedom without responsibility is anarchy. Actually it becomes irresponsible," he added.

So, people, we have our own Citizen Kane. Kickdefella should make one ala Citizen Kane poster. But you must be a real cinema afficiando to actually know this film by Orson welles, Its only the greatest film of all time.

Back to Dolah. This report is another lying words of his. Expunging minutes of meeting, Tun's Kubang Pasu bid, No ISA BSA Tahir, Centrifuge, US$50 b loan scam recomendation, Oil-for-Food recomendation, free to hear Tun, ... where do we end? Sure I'll work with you, another one here.

Anyway Dolah, you better stop talking off-the-cuff, you were never good. Be a Great Pretender, follow your script. The Bernama, NST, and The Star reports tantamount to contempt of court. Read here. See what happens?

Wow, thats to much reading for Dolah ... You are hardly in the country, I must be ...

Pretending that you are round.
