He&#039;s anything but harmless. I lost a couple of school friends to his poison, attending his &#039;martial arts&#039; classes two decades ago. 

Horrible seeing them turn into losers.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[FINALLY!! This reminds me of your blog post when Karl Gouder was elected to Parliament in the previous legislature, and your advice to him was so that he will not develop a reputation, and be solely known as THE gay MP.

Unfortunately however, whilst Karl promoting his sexuality for political gain would have probably backfired, Kevin Cutajar&#039;s sight is something people will take pity on, so the PN will continue to use it when introducing him as a candidate.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne&#039;s point is crucial for the way we educate our children in schools (I gave up trying to hint at educations politicians...for a number of them, it&#039;s just beyond them).

If one had to adopt a system of identifying some of our MPs, including cabinet members, by their visible attributes, I am afraid that we&#039;ll end up facing libels in court for the rest of our life.  For example, without mentioning names:  Hon Minister Lapdancing Fanatic, Hon Minister Crying, Hon Minister Pulcinell...or, Hon Prime Minister Disasters &#038; his Mrs Showoff]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision&quot;.  Helen Keller

Kevin Cutajar sure has vision! Good luck and may all your dreams come true.

And if the media wish to be so stupid and short-sighted in their articles, they do not need to mention politicians or others by their names.  For example, we all would know who they are talking about if they said the following:
The one who takes his children everywhere.
The one who sends his servants to collect water.
The one who needs his wife to order him around.
The one who lies about his income.
The one who forgot her last place of work.
The one who parks on every double line possible.
The one who thinks everyone knows who he is (or at least that is what his ego makes him wish to think)
The one who makes a u-turn after people petition against a transfer.
The one who cries in public.
The one who lies in public.
The one who thinks that being elected makes her high society.
The one who oohs and aahs when Michelle ma belle is by her side, introducing her to all and sundry.
And the list goes on and on.]]></description>

&#039;Musumeci&#039;s consultative role is described by the government as that of giving &quot;technical opinions on matters concerning administrative procedures in the field of planning legislation in the interest of simplification and coherence,&quot; a spokesperson for Michael Farrugia, the junior minister responsible for planning and simplification, told MaltaToday....&#039;

I see Maltatoday can do British humour. 

&#039;..Farrugia has described Musumeci - who pens MaltaToday on Sunday&#039;s regular MEPAWatch column - as a reliable reference point. &quot;Whenever I need an opinion or clarification of a law which is different from that offered by technocrats at MEPA I seek Musumeci&#039;s advice. It is a way of bouncing ideas with both people in MEPA and people outside MEPA.&quot;

Bravo Saviour, does that mean we should buy more of the thing? 

Imagine where that leaves &#039;technocrats&#039;. It&#039;s not as if Musumeci ever demonstrated any talent, just a penchant for minutae to overturn a decision. In garbled Maltalian.]]></description>
