· They should call Facebook the Zuckerburger.
Like all burgers it is full of fat (lies), zero nutrition (for the brain), fills your (mind’s) stomach and leaves no place for any other thing of value and is basically time pass.

· First: Thank God!
Then: Thank God it’s Friday.
Now: Thank God for Zuckerberg!

Modi backers…

Claim 1: Modi was new to the job and tried his best to stop post-Godhra violence.
Claim 2: The Gujarat development model is a success.
Claim 3: People are happier in Gujarat under Modi.
Claim 4: Modi is the best bet for the BJP.
Claim 5: Modi is the most popular leader in India.
Claim 6: Modi is a terrific orator.
Claim 7: Modi is a solid potential for the post of PM.
Claim 8: Many leaders of the world have acknowledged Modi’s genius.
Claim 9: Modi is unfairly under the microscope while other leaders totally get away.
Claim 10: Most of the detractors are outside Gujarat and have vested interests.
(Phew! That probably covers everything!)

Modi detractors…
Assumption 1: Modi is 100% guilty in Godhra and hence no other assumption/claim is required and every claim of the Modi backers has to be totally rubbished and fought tooth and nail till the end of time!
