  1. Now suddenly Zardari has woken up from deep sleep and ordering Electricity and gas production in accelerated pace. where was he and PPP for three years when people were begging to correct the situation. It seems that Nawaz Sharif's call for sit-in in front of the Presidency has done some majic. Only way to get these politicians to do some good is to come to the streets and scare the hell out of these dumb guys.
