Reply to Aquino’s ‘We will crush you’ speech

In reply to President BS Aquino, and as one of the critics whom he threatened to crush in his commencement address at the Philippine Military Academy last Sunday, I will nominate His Excellency and five of his lousy speeches for induction into Failure Magazine.

Believe it or not, there is such a magazine on the planet. Failure is authentic and not a joke; it’s so interesting and original, the Washington Post published a feature on the magazine and its editor, Jason Zasky (“When all else fails, he writes about it.” Washington Post, 2 November 2008). You can read more about the magazine at its website: www.failuremag.com.
