الوزير ملحس بئ البحصة
ليش العالم قامت قيامتها على الوزير ملحس ..الشب كان يشعبر عن احباطاته مع الاعلام
بما انه وزير بيئة والوعي البيئي مسؤولية جزئية للاعلام يعني في معه حق
ليش الصحف الالكترونية صارت من المحرمات؟ يا اخي نفس الصحفيين داقين في بعض وبنذكر كيف اخر انتخابات للصحفيين كان فيها قناوي وهوش ؟ ولا ضغط الصحف على الحكومة صار يولد تاثير غير ايجابي ؟
يعني تبادل مصالح ..ياصحافة هي ضحينا بالوزير فمشولنا موضوع الانتخابات وبلا كثرة حكي ونقد
وعلى سيرة الانتخابات ...العرب اليوم نشرت اليوم تقرير مفاده (حلوة هاي مفاده) المهم نصف مليون اردني فقط سيحددون مصير النواب الجدد بعد استثناء المغتربين والحجاج والمقاطعين والمعادين والمنقولين
بس الفكرة بتظل جذابة انه في وزير بنشال على خطأه ..
الانتخاب والانتحاب
Elections campaign has started, against the government will, the head news : arresting 35 activists from the Islamic front, something that used to prove that the government is not honest in the political reform plan, and put a big question mark on its alleged efforts in creating a new healthy political environment in the kingdom.
Another black image was drawn this morning by Rana sabagh article in Alarab alyaom, where she shed a light on vote selling and compromising between candidates and voters. Basically, her point was the government measures against "political money" were not efficient, because people don't expect any positive difference out of this election, so, they want to take the only available and confirmed benefit :their votes prices.
Personally and unfortunately, I don't care for 2010 elections, for many reasons, on top of them is that the government has stolen the legislative role of the parliament for many years, by issuing hundreds on Temporary law, so , what is the benefit of having a parliament while the government stamps all laws by itself.
Another reason, is that the political environment in Jordan is poisoned and corrupt, people use their posts to make money and facilitate their business, there are no lines between what is personal and what is public.
In last two weeks only we knew about two corruption scandals with total amount of 110 million which takes us for another question, what was the previous parliaments role in combating corruption? some would say they were in the middle of each and every scandal. Also, I really want to know what happened in 2007 elections, was it really manipulated? who did that ? why was there no investigations?
Finally, and most importantly, what worries me is that violence in our society will take a new boost by elections, especially in tribal areas where people have been severely biased toward their candidates. The elections will be a potential spark that will ignite fires. Hopefully, we can pass that day with minimum harm.

3 PM in one of the gulf cities, extremely hot and humid weather, picked the phone, ordered a KFC meal and went to take a shower, the best thing that you might do after a working day in field.
30 Minutes later I was done with my shower, the phone rang, food is here, opened the door to see the delivery guy sweating and exhausted, I looked behind him, he cam by a motor cycle wearing a heavy helmet all the way from KFC center to my home.
I asked him with a refreshing tone to cheer him ..
Me: what happened to you car man.
He: No cars anymore sir.
Me: ..shocked ..why ?! you need the AC in this killing weather.
He: ..company told us..cars are expensive and Business does not make good money like before..so they decided to cut cost by replacing cars by motorcycle.
Me: what ! you will be killed under this unmerciful sun..humidity and the helmet you wear..you wont survive.
He: sir...either we drive motors or we will be fired.
I stopped here..and somehow lost my appetite... I was thinking how much of our luxury is built on the burdens of others..how this city changed in one year..
how can we enjoy a fresh meal while it was brought by exhausted and drained person ...a new slavery.
I've stopped ordering food by phone since that day.
