The water is boiling

Yesterday midnight, House Resolution 1109 (which calls for a Constituent Assembly for the amendment of the Constitution, a direct slap in the face of Senate Resolution 811) suddenly rose from its forgotten grave. In great fright did Sen. Mar Roxas pass around garlic necklaces to his colleagues in the Upper House, an object used to ward off Philippine trolls and vampires. Speculations are rising, as echoed by Sen. Ping Lacson, that Mrs. Arroyo is eying Prime Ministry should Federalization push through. A possible tactic is running for Pampanga representative that, if successful, would yield her every possibility of being elected by colleagues as head of the parliamentary government accompanying the proposed Charter Change.

While the Senate is looking for a "justiciable controversy" so that the matter should be taken up to the Supreme Court, there is an appalling silence in the streets.

Is this the frog analogy that Al Gore was talking about?
