Re: The sword of Damocles . . .

With all the millions of Filipinos getting assimilated in America, in this land of … leche y miel, the possibility of future generations to produce someone to sit in the Oval Office, long dominated by Anglos came to a grinding halt, when a Negro challenged the status quo and got elected, opening the narrow window of happening again.

However, this threat from within seen coming from the slow crawl of … ethnic influence … in the affairs of government, the political temblor felt at the outcome of the 2008 November elections has come to a head, that late night show hosts have been testing the waters, if to jump start the critique of another prominence cut from almost the same branch can change the view, how this political landscape will developed and eventually how it should looked like.

On this contention, a parody was launched by a late night talk show host as a dig, a tweak how an Fil-Am couldn’t be elected president of these United States of America. It hits close to home, close to the reality how the … Pinoy kultur .. brought this side of the Pacific, still stands out to haunt every American-born of Filipino descent.

The following are truthfully mastered sledgehammers, to get your attention, and knock you off your rocker.

10) The White House is not big enough for the in-laws and extended relatives.

9) There are not enough parking spaces at the White House for two (2) Honda Civics; two (2) Toyota Land Cruisers; three (3) Toyota Corollas; a Mercedes Benz; BMW and MPV (My Pinoy Van).

8) Dignitaries are generally intimidated by eating with their fingers during State dinners.

7) There are many rooms in the White House – where will they put the picture of the … Last Supper?

6) The White House walls are not big enough to hold a pair of giant wooden spoon and fork.

5) Secret Service staff won’t respond to … “pssst … pssst … hoy-hoy-hoy!”

4) Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential car with a … Holy Rosary … hanging on the rear view mirror or the statue of the Santo Ninio on the dashboard.

3) No budget allocation to purchase a … karaoke … machine for every room in the White House.

2) State dinners don’t allow … “take Home”.

And the top of the heap.

1) Air Force One … does not allow ~ overweight ~ balikbayan boxes.
