The people in the villages are hungry for juicy red meat while pundits work the clock to hide the 80 percent largess they gave themselves. Apparently Da Boysis owe villagers one big and juicy steak dinner but their icebox is empty. The new salary doesn\u2019t kick in until the end of the second week of this month. Big problem, braddah!<\/p>\n
Be it ham, ram, bull, beef, deer, or goat, just something raw and red. The village folks want a taste of that juicy steak Da Boysis would eat in mid-January. Why not, \u201cwe are people too,\u201d declared Magoo. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe crummy 5 percent they threw at us is still 75 percent less than their 80 big ones,\u201d he noted. \u201cDid they forget that basic cost is skyrocketing as to ignore the hardship we had to take because of their negligence?\u201d<\/p>\n
The thought of being slammed out in the campaign trail for their purposeful violation of the trust of \u201cwe the people\u201d had them praying the rosary backwards while biting their filthy fingernails. By now, the bone soup at the pantry is getting cold. What about the steak dinner the villagers wanted to taste?<\/p>\n
Da Boysis did everything except avoid the dictates of the law, e.g., the appointment of the salary commission that must come from without the legislature. The appointment came from within. <\/p>\n
The law requires using the composite price index to determine percentage increase. They looked up the ceiling and picked out the number 80! Wow! Lawmakers violating the very law they approved? Isn\u2019t this a self-corrupting act?<\/p>\n
