#2 I'm not going to touch Pakistain's Federal Minister on Excellency title. That's just self-snarking. But I gotta ask: they do know Sherry is a girl, right? And how's that president of the Jinnah Institute, an independent public policy institute committed to regional peace and inclusive democracy in Pakistain thingie working out? Seems like an uphill swim. Unless 'regional peace and inclusive democracy' is some sort of Pakistaini code for messing with the Hindus and keeping the Afghan hillbillies stirred up. |
