A Fun Exercise For The Yellow Army



Noynoy Aquino was elected President of the Philippines May 2010. How this was done was by convincing a hoard of people that Noynoy was a leader and a competent decision maker. This hoard has since found work as background cast of the Walking Dead. My many thoughts on the inappropriateness of Noynoy Aquino as any kind of leader let alone President -
here.


I have this theory that if you take any of those Chuck Norris jokes and substitute  the name Noynoy Aquino, 95% of the yellow army will totally believe it. In fact read a  bunch of them and see how long it takes before they stop taking you seriously. Some of them are so deluded by the Noy Machine that they will think you are  reading them a draft of his biography. Some of them will get Tupas and
Colmenares   and sue Chuck Norris for infringing on the " Noynoy Mystique". There is no funnier person on God's green Earth to juxtapose with Chuck Norris than Noynoy Aquino assuming you lived through his campaign and  you have seen him for what he is which is not much.


By any objective account Noynoy is quite useless. But if you heard the rhetoric of Noynoy and his campaign they make him out to be all things to all people. If the horde of the Yellow Army will believe Noynoy is a man of action, integrity, principles and leadership. Then they will believe anything about him. Including the Chuck Norris jokes.

Noynoy and "Winnability" an Inquiry into Values



“Natatakot siya (Revillame) talaga. Mananalo siya talaga. Sa akin iyon ang sabi ko, ayokong magpulitika…. doon nga ako natatakot baka manalo ako. Ganoon din si Willie,” he (Dolphy) laughingly said.



http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/09/22/09/do

"The name Noynoy Aquino has the word 'No' three times. "- somebody from

Facebook





“If you know, to recognize that you know, If you don't know, to realize that you don't know: That is knowledge.”

Confucius

http://thinkexist.com/quotes/confucius/


“The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.”

Confucius


Winnability. It's not even a word. Just when I thought I was running out of things to
say before May 10, 2010. You may recall this post

http://cornholiogogs.multiply.com/journal/item/1116/Noynoy_Fantasy_or_Reality

One thing I forgot to say there is if FPJ won , the win was not for him but for all the hangers on. Their agenda. Same thing I feel with Noynoy, the hangers on can not win on their own but get somebody who can win then ride on his coattails into the Palace. Unfortunately this "Winnabilty " thing speaks so badly about us. It really really does. Because in this country at least, winnability is not synonymous with quality or leadership or governance or practicality. Hence the Dolphy quote. He once said in Tagalog "if you win then what?" though I can't find the link. Running and winning in this country is clearly an ego thing. Not sure if they ever figured out that serving the public is the primary function. It's a popularity contest like in my grade school where we had contest for muse. OK so I am still bitter for losing.

FPJ was a real threat six years ago and for all we know should have really won. I'm sorry but that really speaks to the IQ of the electorate. All the hangers on that convinced FPJ to run. I imagined back then Vic Sotto in a meeting with FPJ "Sige bossing, takbo na!!!". And from the naivety of that conversation, a snowball was put into motion that almost resulted in FPJ sitting in Malacanang. If he won then all the hangers on that convinced him to run and their agendas would have been Trojan Horsed into Malacanang with FPJ.

If you find that scenario stupid, well it is before us right now. Noynoy was called to run because of his mom's death. And like an idiot he agrees. Either he does not know he does not have the tools for the job or he believes he has the tools. Well they must be real top secret tools because I don't know anyone who has seen them. Like the Confucius quote above, he is too dumb to know that he does not know. For those who find my blogs about Noynoy always referencing to stupidity, I would like to see you refer to brilliance and intellect when talking about him and his situation. And you guys out there want him to be president? A guy no one can characterize as smart?

This is the mistake the country is likely to make tomorrow at the polls. Our standards in this country for the highest public office one can attain seem to be really low if the right last name is all you need. No personal track record necessary. Our countrymen who have campaigned and will vote for this charlatan have bought emotionally and can't even defend logically.

The Philippines deserves better than a President elected because of symbolism, sympathy, nepotism and memories. Or maybe it doesn't.

Noynoy By The Book Again









Election in T minus 3 days. Just when I though I have run out of things to say, other things pop in my head. If you believe the media then Noynoy will be the next president of this country. It does not make him any good if he is elected. It just means in politics there sometimes is no accounting for taste or brains. As I have said many many times, Noynoy is the emotional choice and never the logical choice.
If I can make one plea to all of you going to vote for Noynoy, if you vote him in I will not stop. I will mock him at every turn. His mistakes will be inevitable. You want to know how to avoid mistakes? Do nothing. Noynoy is an expert at that. Guaranteed the first crisis he will face , he will have a deer in headlights look.




The only way to evaluate anything with any semblance of logic is not through memories of their parents but an established framework. I will once again turn to man of wisdom and experience for this. John Maxwell. he has this list of twelve signs of a leader in trouble. Believe me, I use the term leader loosely when referring to Noynoy.


Profile of a Leader in Trouble by John Maxwell



1. Has a poor understanding of people
2. Lacks imagination
3. Has personal problems

4. Passes the buck

5. Feels secure and satisfied
6. Is not organized

7. Flies into rages

8. Will not take a risk

9. Is insecure and defensive

10. Stays inflexible

11. Has no team spirit.

12. Fights change


*************

I will give my own insight on some of these signs. Though it will be a disservice to you the reader if I do not refer you to a brilliant piece called 12 Reasons Why I Won't Vote NOYNOY For President by George Canseco Jr. If anything in Maxwell's list relates directly to Canseco Jr's list I will just link to it with the rule #. 1. Has a poor understanding of people Actually if the litmus test of a rule is that it works then I will say Noynoy has a great understanding of people. As in people easily hooked by emotion that they become devoid of logic. He makes statements that don't have any roots in reality and just tugs at heartstrings. Link


2. Lacks imagination
If your campaign is nothing but a tribute to what your parents did 25 years ago then I consider that lacking imagination. See #6 here


3. Has personal problems- this might count . Link



4. Passes the buck- he does not pass the buck because he does nothing. Unless you count him prefacing every answer in an interview with "sabi nang magulang ko" ( my parents told me)






.



#26 here

5. Feels secure and satisfied- I personally would not run for president if I had no concrete activities to point to so I can justify running for president. Then again I am not Noynoy.
He is secured and satisfied that people who do not know any better clamoring for him to run is enough of an excuse to run. Also refer to #6 here.


6. Is not organized - I am not organized myself so I will not critique that which I am not.
7. Flies into rages- you decide if this qualifies link




8. Will not take a risk-
"The person who risks nothing, Does nothing, Has nothing and is nothing." - Leo Buscalia
Oh this completely describes Noynoy till now.


9. Is insecure and defensive-

Read this where Noynoy "answers" Dick Gordon's question what has he done with 9 years in office. Link

10. Stays inflexible What do you call a guy whose case to vote for him as president just talks about his parents?
Interpretation by Doc Albert- Link

Also see # 9 and #12 here



11. Has no team spirit.
You know who has team spirit? His running mate who is infinitely more qualified but stepped down to vice president to accommodate the chosen one of Destiny Noynoy Link


Interpretation by Doc Albert- Link




12. Fights change How can someone promise change when all he talks about what his parents did in the 80s?? He was part of the very government he claims he will change. Been there nine years and all of a sudden he will change it?

****************


You can have many emotional reasons to vote for Noynoy but your country needs your head making your decisions not your heart.

Noynoy Fantasy or Reality?




How many of you remember the elections of 2004? Do you remember a guy running for president who had no business running based on his qualifications? He was controlled by unseen strings because the whole campaign was not solely his idea.He was thrust as his party's "standard bearer" not because of merit or achievement or leadership or competency in the political arena or qualifications. He was there for one thing and one thing only. "Winnability"

The idea that this is plausible should be an insult to every red blooded Filipino who gives a damn. Granted there is one little problem. It's happening now.

The spin doctors and campaign managers understand the election landscape. Believe me they don't see Rhodes Scholars and Mensa members.


I will give you two columns and if you are paying at all to the election rhetoric tell me which column (A or B) is the fantasy column and which is the reality column.


A.
Governance

Leadership
Intelligence
Political Savvy
High Brow
More IQ
Transparency
Experience
Merit
Contribution
Handled Crisis
Prepared for Crisis

Deep Thinker
Dealt with Adversity

B.


Popularity
Sympathy
Family Ties
Name Recognition
Low Brow
Less IQ
Magic
No Experience
Superficial
Avoids Tough Questions
Leaning on Legacy of Others
No Intrinsic Direction





If you really gave this some honest thought, be afraid, be very afraid.

"You Are Wasting Your Vote"











http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/waste

Waste
4 a : to spend or use carelessly : squander b : to allow to be used inefficiently or become dissipated






One thing you may have heard by now is the excuse. A vote for _________ is a wasted vote. Which is usually used by the political adversaries of ____. How true is that claim? You know the old quote "statistics don't lie but liars use statistics". You also know the two questions they ask when you want a survey conducted in the Philippines : 1) When do you want the survey out? 2) What do you want the survey to say?

I want to draw your attention to an
article that I feel explains the surveys that so many Noynoy supporters and Noynoy himself use as the Gospel Truth.

http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/255494/don-t-follow-surveys-vote-wisely-pcci


I got the idea from
http://carolbalmaceda.multiply.com/


If you take the "survey tailender" incident at face value then you see a man who can not bravely face a question to give an accounting of his time as a public servant. A man blindly idolized by many in this election season. An Emperor who truly has no clothes. I even have the transcript of the kids who have exposed Noynoy to be such.

http://misstinapie.blogspot.com/2010/03/and-to-think-these-are-just-kids-31510.html



Let's get back to the issue of waste. For those of us who watched one of the best shows ever The Sopranos, we all know that Tony Soprano never defined himself as gangster or part of the mob or part of the mafia. He was in "waste management". Considering all the people he did dispose of in the show, he was not really lying. Noynoy on the other hand tells you any vote that is not for him or the perceived #2 in the polls is a wasted vote. The assumption that the polls are really believable. Ask anyone who been to the majority of provinces in this country and they will tell you that for a so called small country it's pretty big. How anyone can take such a small sampling size and project with such confidence a 19% lead is beyond anyone who can think rationally. Then again we are talking Noynoy, same guy who when asked what has he done when he was in Congress for 9 years and not give a response. Somebody like Tony Soprano should "waste manage" Noynoy.




Much has been made that Noynoy will not stain the legacy of his parents. For those of us paying attention to what he has done or not done in 50 years of living.He already has. Running for president of the land not because of the wishes of his parents but for the ulterior motives of those around him stains the parents legacy. Just bragging about his parents legacy in lieu of his personal deeds stains the parents legacy. Running for president with his joke of a resume stains the parents legacy. He already has stained the parents legacy. So don't be giving some bogus promise that he won't stain it should he win.




And he just laughs because : 1) he does not see it and 2) many others do not see it.

The thing is when based on Noynoy's words or lack of them when his activity as a public servant is questioned, you have the true definition of waste . And by association the true definition of a wasted vote. Laugh if you want.

Ed

The Acts of Noynoy




http://www.ewtn.com/Devotionals/inspiration_05may2010.htm#2

22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. Alternative translation: "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God," (Acts 14:21-27)



Please think about that one phrase. This was the first reading if you attended mass today. Of course it is relevant again to our times. Our times where people try to anchor sentimentality because they have no practicality to attach to their candidate of choice.


The idea of going through obstacles to be worthy of your goal is nothing new. This is a universal theme. Whatever movie you watch or book you read, the hero is credible and earns your admiration for going through trials and tribulations. The hardships makes them what they are. As I have always said, Noynoy is not made by trials but he is made and defined by his LAST NAME. Not by anything else. If that does not speak to the ignorance of his followers I don't know what does. 


  Laban means fight.There he is flashing the Laban hand sign that made his dad famous. His dad was jailed and accused of many things. I should know. I was alive in 1978. His dad wore a bullet proof vest that day Aug 21 1983. What has Noynoy ever fought? Anyone? Anything? Look at where I got that quote from. The Acts of the Apostles. It's not the rhetoric of the Apostles or the thoughts. It was the Acts. What are Noynoy's acts? Anyone? Anything? What did he do to be worthy of the highest office? Anyone? Anything?

Its Noy Or Never

I just want to start off by saying the singing sucks. Just know I will resort to anything to get my point across. I meant this to be the Noynoy campaign song if you used truth serum. It would be the campaign song if it intended to include full disclosure. No sugar coating anything. We all know the truth hurts. Even more than my singing. Actually I have to thank my Noynoy fanatic uncle for telling me the title of this song. I modified the lyrics to fit the context. Doughboy whipped up the midi backing track in about an hour. I am glad that genius is on my side. The rest of it assembled with a PC, a 24 year old Radio Shack Mixer. A Nokia cell phone playing the Midi file with an old Creative Zen recording the music mixed with the vocal as it is. Most of the thoughts originally expressed in my blog. A lot of the pictures made by people with thoughts similar to mine. Scary huh? Ed

http://cornholiogogs.multiply.com/journal/item/1065/What_A_Lame_Campaign_Noynoy_Related

lyrics
It's Noy or never,
His words are tight
His campaign is rockin ,
His deeds are light
Tomorrow will be too late,
It's Noy or never
Your vote cant wait.

When we first saw him
His way so tender
Our hearts were captured,
Our soul surrendered
We'd spend a lifetime
Waiting for the right time
Elections are near
The time is here at last.

It's Noy or never,
His words are tight
His campaign is rockin ,
His deeds are light
Tomorrow will be too late,
It's Noy or never
Your vote cant wait.


Just like the lemming
heading into the ocean
We give our voices
And sweet devotion
Your sister excites me,
Let your past invite me
For who knows when
People will vote this way

It's Noy or never,
His words are tight
His campaign is rockin ,
His deeds are light
Tomorrow will be too late,
It's Noy or never
Your vote cant wait.
