Punzi's Corner Blog: D-day!

Wednesday, August 17, 2005
This day in history from:

D-day!

No, not Defensor Day (as you may have noticed, he has replaced Secretary Tiglao as my pet peave...)

The voting on the issue of what impeachment complaint or complaints the House Committee on Justice shall recognize may be conducted today.

The result of this voting will determine the things to come. And ultimately the future of this country.

If the Administration votes to strike out the amended complaint(s), the Opposition will have no other recourse but to take the battle out to the streets. Because the voting today on this will send the signal on things to come. And a walk-out may signal its start...perhaps TODAY.

I think this is not a wise move. It violates the Sun Tzu guy's advise on taking the battle out of the streets. This would be this Administration's Second Envelope. They should handle this situation with all the prudence it can muster.

Just for the record...

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
