A message from Rahu
Readers of, and writers to, Have Your Say:
I, Rahu, God of Darkness, have been rejoicing over the recent triumphs of My forces in Thailand. The imminent demise of the print edition of The Nation; the placing of the Stephff cartoons, even in the online edition, on the chopping block; the chaos in Parliament; the continued ascendance of My servant Terrible Tu; the gloating of My acolyte, Dr Frank, as terrified lambkins watch his chubby hand shovel yet another mouthful of lamb shank into his Jabba-like maw – all these have been glorious victories for the Dark Side.
But beware, My minions! Every reaction provokes a reaction, and this is no time for complacency. Even now the Thewadaas of Light are massing karmic forces for a counter-strike. Rahu is not omnipotent, though He aspires to be so; and the current reign of Darkness may be short-lived. Beware, therefore! Gird your loins, sharpen your swords, load your cannons, and charge up your smartphones for the coming battles! May chaos thrive! May the Darkness thicken! May Its forces be ever vigilant to thwart a resurgence of the Light!
Dwelling in the murk and loving it,
Rahu
God of Darkness
