The boy-king Bilawal Bhutto (Zardari) was in Lahore recently. Basically to call on the Taseers and congratulate them on the return of Shahbaz Taseer. After that, off to senior party leader Aitzaz Ahsan’s home.
Also, attended a meeting of the party’s members in Lahore, where they briefed him on various issues and said that a shake-up was a must to turn the party around in the Punjab.
Which is cute, to say the least, because there isn’t much of a party left to turn around.

Though Apple, the megacorporation might have dug in its heels against the FBI in the matter of passing over private data, even for the greater cause of national security, things are a bit different here, in the land of the pure.
How so? Well, the good ladies of the affluent classes have devised ways of their own. A trick tried and tested since ancient Greece: the Trojan Horse.
The trick: they gift their husbands iPhones on their anniversaries or birthdays and have some software pre-installed to keep check on their activities. A homing device much cheaper than hiring a private detective.
