Free Online Games

Objek Wisata - I am somewhat of an expert on finding free online games and free computer games online. I, myself, have been dabbling with computers and computer games since I was twelve years old. Today, aside from playing free online games and computer games I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), twice over. I am also certified by Cisco twice over as a Cisco Certified Network Administrator (or CCNA.) I have enjoyed playing free online games and computer games ever since I could remember seeing computer games. In my time, you could not find free online games, but you could purchase computer games - you usually visited an arcade to play pinball, or play some of the video games of the time. READ ON...I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO FIND, DOWNLOAD, AND PLAY FREE ONLINE GAMES AND COMPUTER GAMES - MOST ANY GAME THAT YOU WANT TO!!!

Hotel Murah di Bali - Though free online games came later, I first played computer games when I was introduced to the Atari 400 and the Atari 800 Systems, and the Commodore 64 computer. I was playing computer games like “Archon”, “Dungeons and Dragons”, “Abuse”, “Pooyan”, and a handful of others of which I cannot remember! Apple Computers also had a small computer that played computer games made for the Apple Computer system, but I did not delve too far into the Apple world of computer games.

When I was introduced to Personal Computers (PC's) I immediately saw the potential of where computers could take video and computer games. Again, this was before free online games. I was enjoying games like “Doom”, “Diablo”, “Tomb Raider”, “Myst”, “Mech Warrior”, and even “Leisure Suit Larry”. (Actually, free online games and computer games were then just becoming available online.)

Add to that the amazing recent technological explosions in the world of computers, and the Internet, and free online games and computer games become even more sophisticated and awesome!!! For free online games and computer games, with more powerful computers, and the Internet, plus newer and better computer game controls and monitors, you can enjoy free online games and computer games across high bandwidth connections; free online games and computer games such as “Counter Strike”, and so many others. (I have not personally kept up with the latest and greatest free online games and computer games, for all platforms, but I am stocking the GPFT FREE Section with free online games and computer games constantly!)

I eventually learned how to find and download free online games and computer games, nearly any free online game and computer game that you can think of, all for FREE. You can find both the newest and classic free online games, computer games, PC computer games, XBox, WII, Playstation, Nintendo, and Super Nintendo games, all online. Much of what you can find on the Internet in terms of free online games and computer games is either “freeware”, or “shareware”; but, some of what you can find are legitimate copies of full version computer games. Downloading, installing, and playing free online games and computer games and software that you did not purchase is sometimes illegal!

These were a couple of ways you could get computer games without having to buy them!

Computers and computer software have both evolved, and continue to evolve, and free online games and computer games are widely available on the Internet.

This Online Game

Objek Wisata - As I am sure you are aware, lots of games are played on internet dating sites. But there are some games I absolutely refuse to play. I hope you will follow suit:

Hotel di Singapura I don’t play the “dominant/submissive” game. This is where the person you’ve just met online begins to demand things of you. Usually really stupid things. (“Before you go to bed, I want you to email me and tell me exactly what you are wearing to work. Including the underwear.”) or (“I’m going to tell you what I have in the refrigerator. I need you to tell me what you want me to have for dinner. Okay?”) Since I know I’m not interested in the whole “dominant/submissive” game, I refuse to even continue communicating with this person.

I don’t play the “what can you do for me” game. This is when the person is attempting to take on the “online pimp” role. The conversation always leads to what other women are willing to do to be with them. Immediately, I tell them...”this is where I get off. Please do not contact me again.” That’s it.

I don’t play the “life has been so rough on me! I hope you will be the person to make my life worth living!” game. This person is emotionally damaged and needs professional help. I’m not online to rehab people that are emotionally challenged. I suggest they get offline and seek the help they desperately need. All communication stops here...immediately!

I don’t play the “life is one big party!” game. This person lives to party. They do not take life or their responsibilities seriously. They have no problem not showing up for work because they partied all night, the night before! They have missed a couple of car payments so they are parking their car at different places to stall the repo man. They have been given a eviction notice, but none of this has stopped them from partying. They openly brag about how many DUI’s they’ve received. If you are a mature adult, looking for a mature adult relationship, avoid these people at all cost.

Before you become seriously involved with online dating, you need to spot the losers just like you do offline. And once you spot them? Refuse all contact. Ignore the IMs and the emails. Eventually, they will go away. In the mean time, go find the one that is worthy of you...Good luck!

Put yourself in position to “choose”...not always waiting to be “chosen”!

Do you believe you deserve the person of your dreams? If so, get the skills you need to bring your dreams into reality Today!

Roger Sanford and Jeff Mains are pretty sure there are no coincidences in life. Should they need any proof, they simply consider the events that found them trudging together through ice and mud at the planet's southernmost tip.

Some time ago, Sanford, vice president of media services at MediaTile, set for himself the ambitious goal of running a marathon on all seven continents. By the fall of 2009, he had completed 26.2-mile races in a host of far-away lands. Sanford's final frontier to conquer: Antarctica.

Yes, there is a marathon there.

In November Sanford registered for the Antarctica Marathon and began training for the March 10 contest. That same month he arrived early to pick up his daughter at a National Charity League event. Sanford walked into the dinner with a sinking feeling as he realized he was the sole male in attendance. But moments later Mains, there to chauffeur his own daughter home, also appeared. The hostess quickly deposited the two dads at the same table.

"It was one of those things where you're the only two guys in the room, so you start talking about guy stuff: 'How 'bout those Niners,' and 'What sports do you do?' " Sanford recalls, laughing. "In the course of the evening I happened to mention that I was training for a marathon in Antarctica. I remember Jeff's eyes getting really big, and then he started shaking his head."

As Sanford discovered, Mains is a fellow Los Gatan.

He also happens to be the chief executive officer of a company called ANPC, which develops airplane landing, navigation and traffic management systems. At the time of the NCL dinner, Mains had just been contracted to install his company's transponder landing technology at a military base—in Antarctica.

"When Roger told me about the Antarctica Marathon, I realized that the starting point was about a mile from where I was going to be, at exactly the same time I was going to be there in March," Mains says. "What are the chances of that?"

Adds Sanford, "Here I'd had this lifetime goal of doing all of these races, but there was no way I could ever have pulled this one off by myself. And then out of the blue, the one person in the world who could help me make it happen sits down next to me at a charity event. It was pretty amazing."

Mains had completed one marathon prior to meeting Sanford, and wasn't sure he wanted to do another. But after their initial conversation, the idea of doing the race somehow began to make sense. Accordingly, even as he and his ANPC colleagues collected the equipment and gear needed to transport and install their system at the base on King George Island, Mains registered for the race and started training. In the process he lost (and has since kept off) 25 pounds.

"Right before Christmas last year I ran into some old friends and we were talking about the race. I told them I hadn't done a really long run yet; they told me I'd never finish the marathon. I think there was a part of me that felt like, 'Oh, yeah? I'll show them,' " Mains admits.

Training for any marathon is never "... well, a walk in the park. Proper conditioning of feet, legs, heart and respiratory system is challenging under the most ideal circumstances. Factor in the need to contend with severe weather fluctuations, grueling terrain and near hurricane-force winds, and that training takes on epic, ominous significance.

Also, given that the site selected for the race lacked (before Mains and ANPC) the necessary technology to permit commercial airlines to land, most of the marathoners' only option to reach the starting line was to board an ocean liner for the majority of the trip. Then they were required to transfer to small inflatable Zodiak boats to reach shore. In doing so, they would traverse one of the most treacherous stretches of water known to man: Drake Passage, which marks the confluence of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, at the southern tip of South America between Cape Horn and the South Shetland Islands.

Mains says he was prepared—in theory—for what he was about to face. "If anything," he notes, "the people at Marathon Tours and Travel, which puts on the race, are over the top about trying to describe what you'll be dealing with. They said it would be muddy and cold, we'd have to bring all of these layers of clothing and protection for our faces, we'd have to go through a lifeboat drill and all kinds of other stuff. But still, we had no idea what we were in for."

Originally, Mains and a colleague from ANPC were to fly to King George Island on a Chilean military plane. But due to the Feb. 27 earthquake in Chile, they were forced to take the sea route through Drake Passage on a day when Mother Nature seemed to be particularly cranky.

Says Mains, "I woke up to the ship doing 30-degree rolls, and said, 'Are you kidding?' They told me that was only a two on a scale of one to 10. I would never want to see a three!"

Sanford and most of the other runners also were aboard the ship, an aging Russian spy vessel that was making its last voyage before retirement.

"My roommate was really seasick; he actually opened the porthole at one point, to get some air," says Sanford. "Suddenly I heard a noise, and this wall of water came pouring into the room. I ran to unplug his laptop, which had started smoking, while I was standing in a huge puddle of water. That definitely put me in contention for a Darwin Award."

That experience, as it turns out, more or less set the tone for what Sanford and Mains were to face. Race day found the 100 marathon registrants bundled up (Mains wore three layers on top and two pairs of running tights, capped by a jacket and hat; Sanford was similarly attired) and battling 30 mph headwinds. The racecourse—a hilly, 6.5-mile loop that runners would traverse four times—was a viscous quagmire from the previous night's rains. The temperature: somewhere south of 30 degrees.

Mains says the combination of conditions prompted an unexpected response. "It was absolutely miserable. I fell multiple times, and Roger did, too. But it was so ridiculous, I just kept laughing; what else are you going to do? You're out there in the wind, it's sleeting rain, people are soaking wet and falling everywhere. But why be in a bad mood about it?"

"I look at the pictures now, and the whole idea just seems insane," Mains adds. "But at the time I realized I could be really mad or I could just go with it. I was pretty sure I'd finish unless I fell and hit my head. So I actually ended up having a great time."

Of course, in that remote corner of the world, posting a great "time" is not precisely a realistic goal. Under normal conditions, world-class marathoners cross the finish line in just over two hours. At the Antarctica contest, the winner spent nearly twice that amount of time on the course. Mains and Sanford each logged close to six hours making the four circuits, frequently mired in mud.

"I don't think my shoes will ever recover," Sanford says ruefully. "I'm thinking about framing them." Mains has a more practical suggestion. "I'm planning on sealing mine in Lucite," he reports.

Mains has the honor of having run an "ultra." Given the profound respect with which Antarctican locals hold the environment, the race management team was allowed to place only the most minimally invasive markers at each mile. Most were spindly wire sticks, with red flags fluttering above. Unfortunately, the latter proved too inviting to the local wildlife.

"In Antarctica they have these weird birds called skuas, that look kind of like a duck-billed platypus," says Mains. "They kept dive-bombing the mile markers and eating the flags. I found out later that I'd actually wandered off course and ran farther than I was supposed to, because the markers were gone."

Sanford faced his own challenges. As the miles and hours wear on, marathoners normally consume various types of gels that deliver calories, sugar and carbohydrates. Mindful that runners were forbidden to drop wrappers or other debris from individual gel packs (and not thinking about the temperature at race time), Sanford opted to keep a roll of gel "blocks" in his jacket.

Says Sanford, "I bit into a block, and it was frozen. I pulled it off my teeth "... and one of my crowns came out with it." Ever the practical athlete, Sanford yanked his crown out of the solidified goo, stashed it in his pocket, and kept running.

Once Mains and Sanford and company finished the race and collected their medals, Sanford caught the last Zodiak back to the ship and sailed for home. Mains remained behind to oversee the installation of his company's transponder landing system at the base.

"I was so exhausted doing the flight checks," he remembers. "We worked 18-hour days for several days after the marathon, so I think I was just too busy to get sore. My adrenaline was going, and it was crazy "... but good crazy."

With the success of those flight checks, commercial air travel is now possible at the "end of the Earth." Sanford is proud of what his friend's company has brought to Antarctica, saying, "In the past, humans have left a footprint on the continent, with diesel from the boats they had to use to get there, and the need to be sustained until the weather would allow them to leave. But now people can go in and out by airplane, and not have to stay for long periods of time. Jeff's system will really help protect the environment, while increasing access to Antarctica."

Reflecting on his own adventure, Mains says he's doubly pleased. "For me it was neat personally and professionally, because we installed our system in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Now, anyone who can fly under instrumentation can land in Antarctica, without any special equipment on their plane.

"Also, to sit down at that event last year, and to meet Roger and end up doing the marathon together "... this was the ultimate business-pleasure trip."

Hearing this last statement, the two friends look at each other and dissolve into long, loud laughter. "OK," Mains says finally, wiping his eyes, " 'pleasure' is probably a relative term."

Barack Obama Affair

Daftar Hotel - In this corner, Conan O'Brien, the once, and probably future king of late night (his "once" only lasted a few weeks); and in the other corner, Jay "The Jaw" Leno, who's looking more and more not only like yesteryear, but also like a bad egg, exactly counter to the good-egg image he maintained for decades as a stand-up comic. Leno didn't seem to brutalize people in his act nor in his backstage behavior toward competitors and colleagues; then he hit the big time and the big time hit him.

Hotel di Bogor  O'Brien has just celebrated the end of an embargo; he sat down (and sometimes jumped around) for an interview Sunday with Steve Kroft, one of the ablest aces on "60 Minutes." O'Brien had been inhibited by his negotiations with NBC from granting interviews about those negotiations, and even though he was legally free to talk, it was obvious that not all restrictions had been lifted. Kroft had phrased some questions multiple ways before O'Brien could engineer an answer.

Is Jay Leno a rat under all that gray hair, chinskin and seeming sweetness? O'Brien's answers gave the clear indication that he felt Leno acted gracelessly, handing the "Tonight Show" over to O'Brien as he'd promised to do, then managing to take it back after a summer of failure as a prime-time star (it seems sooo obvious that Leno knew prime time wouldn't pan out for him and that he planned the "Tonight" re-coup all along. O, the humanity!).

Both O'Brien and, chortling wildly from the sidelines, David Letterman, have ridiculed Leno's recent statement that everybody "got screwed" by NBC in the negotiations, NBC offering to keep O'Brien in late night but only at 12:05 a.m., after a half-hour Leno show, which would likely have used up all the topics available for topical humor and left O'Brien with the ravaged remains.

How could Leno have gotten "screwed," O'Brien rhetorically asked Kroft when Leno has a show? Not just a "show" but "the" show, "The Tonight Show," whose previous proprietors included not only Carson but the legendary Jack Paar (a framed letter from Paar, on Paar's red-imprinted stationery, could be spotted among O'Brien's treasured possessions in his L.A. home as seen on "60 Minutes").

Leno crawled out of the wreckage as host of "The Tonight Show" all over again. It's worth remembering that Carson, who (along with Ted Koppel and ABC's "Nightline") made late night such valuable real estate, didn't want Leno to succeed him in the first place. He wanted Letterman, who also wanted Letterman. Yes, this is ancient history in the late-night saga but those who do not remember the past are blah blah blah; actually those who do remember the past probably repeat it too, making a good memory a dubious asset, I hope.

The last laugh may be on Leno, but not earned by Leno. He seems genuinely to have been stung by his new reputation as a two-timing back-stabber, and though his post-Conan ratings are not disastrous they aren't what they used to be either. He's down 16 percent in the numbers compared with what he got pre-Conan, and reportedly his rating with the 18-to-49-year-old demographic is just about the same that Conan got. Leno looks wounded now, damaged; he's like a guy who fought his way into a party that the other guests then left in protest or out of boredom.

It won't help Leno that his Saturday night performance at the White House correspondents' annual dinner has been deemed a "bomb" in the bastions of bloggery and within the commentator community. The dinner itself, as televised awkwardly by C-SPAN, was a mess, although President Obama's after-dinner spiel was funny and well delivered -- self-assured self-deprecation. Obama's gift for humor is another of his Kennedyesque qualities.

Otherwise, the dinner, for all the alleged sophistication of those attending and speaking, seemed as hokey and folksy as a Kiwanis clambake in Keokok. Leno had the misfortune to follow Obama, but after all, Leno is a professional comedian who should be able to wriggle out of such circumstances without a scratch. When, meanwhile, did this once prestigious event turn into Washington's version of the Golden Globes, replete with "red carpet" arrivals -- among them the very bi-coastal Larry King, who at this point in life bears a striking resemblance to the hood ornament on an old Pontiac: His face arrives half a second before the rest of him.

But Larry we still love you.

Dave Letterman, we still love you, too. And Conan O'Brien, even with that red hillbilly beard, we feel affection for you and sympathy for the way you have been mistreated by big ugly NBC.

Among the ancillary pleasures of the whole LenoBrien Affair has been the running commentary done by Letterman, watching and laughing from the sidelines at CBS. But sadly for Letterman and his fans, he doesn't really reap a bonanza in the ratings, no matter what happens over at NBC -- whether they're up, down, or up and down.

One of Leno's big problems is that his constituency skews old whereas O'Brien's is young, and young is still what sells on Madison Avenue. Older people may find O'Brien silly, but infantile belligerence is adored and admired by his fans, who see Conan as the first clown prince of the 21st century, even though he began to flourish at the end of the 20th.

Maybe he was just warming up -- for the great late night comedy wars of the new millennium. Somewhere Johnny is laughing.

Daftar Hotel - Lindsay Lohan has been dropped from the film "The Other Side," TMZ reports, in what the movie's director David Michaels calls a choice to "move on." Perez Hilton, however, shows little sign of moving on when it comes to LiLo.

Hotel di Padang The filmmakers' choice may have something to do with whether Lohan is "bankable," according to a TMZ source familiar with the project. ("The Other Side" has been described as a mix of "Beetlejuice," "Alice in Wonderland," "Amelie" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," to which we say, "perfect.")

Lohan told Gossip Cop on Sunday that she won't be meeting with her father, Michael Lohan, to discuss whatever it was that he wanted to put on the meeting agenda. Dad has given a big "or else" this time -- sit down with him and her sister Ali, and maybe a lawyer, or else he's going to court to push for a Britney Spears-type conservatorship.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, LiLo and Perez engaged in a Twitter spat, as Hilton on Saturday bombarded Lohan with links to his many blog posts about her and Lindsay on Saturday and Sunday soaked up fan support -- including some name-calling -- and tweeted that Hilton was simply seeking page views at her expense.

That Twitter barrage came as Hilton spent Saturday signing books with Mario Lopez and Emilio Estefan (Gloria's husband) at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Then Hilton and Lopez later hit the resort's Shrine nightclub until closing time, with Hilton at one point jumping the VIP-table barrier to dance and take photos with fans on the dance floor.

Anas Urbaningrum

Daftar Hotel - Kubu calon Ketua Umum Partai Demokrat Anas Urbaningrum membantah akan melepas partainya dari pengaruh Ketua Dewan Pembina Partai Demokrat Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Mereka malah menyatakan akan melembagakan SBY. "Yang dilembagakan adalah soft power atau berpolitik santun.

Primbon

Daftar Hotel Primbon - Les Plus, China's first lesbian magazine launched another new issue on Sunday after disappearing for 10 months.

The magazine is returning with a more low-key approach and a broader range of topics.

Hotel di Bali Les Plus was launched in 2005 by two lesbians, known as Sam and Big Head. All writers and designers worked on a volunteer basis.

The magazine soon reached a peak circulation of 40,000 copies per issue, and it was distributed in 50 cities both here in China and also overseas.

"We felt like we were living in constant darkness. Having the magazine was like light shining into our hearts," recalled Big Head on Sunday at the relaunch party for Les Plus.

In mid-2009, the authorities shut down Les Plus, accusing the publishers of not having an ISSN number required for selling magazines, and for charging 12 yuan ($1.76) per copy, despite claiming to be a free publication.

Les Plus said this charge was for a badge, which comes together with the magazine. And Les Plus sees itself as more than a magazine, but also as a loving, supportive and creative group, according to its editors.

During the time the magazine was shut down, the group put on China's first lesbian play, participated in the WorldOut Games in Copenhagen, and organized China's first public lesbian wedding, in Qianmen.

The new issue of Les Plus features art by lesbians around the world, lesbian life stories, a horoscope and a column on lesbianism in Chinese history.

"We made an effort to make the magazine look like a normal, mainstream one, instead of one for a marginalized cultural group," said Big Head, "lesbians as a group need to stop hiding in their bubbles and step into the sun."

The first batch of the new issue is of 3,000 copies, which are distributed around the country.

The magazine still sells for 12 yuan, and comes with a badge, or a canvas bag. The only editorial change is that the price and addresses of stores no longer feature on the back cover.

"We are trying a more low-key approach. I'm positive that we won't get shut down this time," said Sam.

The magazine is available in four boutique bookstores in Beijing and its online Taobao store.

Sales representatives in more than 40 major cities are listed on the magazine's website, lesplus.org.

World Cup 2010 FIFA

Daftar Hotel World Cup 2010 FIFA - Thousands of South African fans queued overnight at supermarkets and shopping malls on Thursday for a chance to buy 500,000 unsold World Cup tickets. Fifa agreed on Wednesday to drop a ruling that sales could only be made online or through a ballot procedure.

Hotel di Semarang - There is still availability for all fixtures, including the final at Soccer City in Johannesburg on 11 July.

A 64-year-old man died from an apparent seizure as he waited in a queue in central Cape Town.

BBC Africa correspondent Andrew Harding says there were exuberant scenes in Sandton, north of Johannesburg, where people camped out on the street through the night.

"The last time I waited in a line like this was when I voted for Mandela," said one man who did not want to give his name because he was skipping work to stand in line.

Many South Africans had complained the original process, by which tickets were sold through Fifa's website or in a complicated ballot at a local bank branch, excluded people without web access, credit cards or the disposable income to pay for their tickets months in advance.

"We are excited about these new initiatives, which make the process much easier for everyone," commented World Cup 2010 boss Danny Jordaan.

World Cup 2010

Daftar Hotel World Cup 2010 - France coach Raymond Domenech has hailed in-form Chelsea winger Florent Malouda, indicating that his recent form is exactly what he wants to see from players aspiring to make his World Cup squad of 23, which will be named on May 11.

Hotel di Surabaya The two men have previously been unable to see eye-to-eye on a number of occasions, but Domenech lauded the former Olympique Lyonnais man in an interview with L’Equipe on Tuesday.

“[Malouda] spoke to me when he was least good. But I told him to show me [what he could do] on the pitch. Now, he is good, he gives me an option, a choice and a problem. I want to tell people: show me all that!” Domenech asserted when quizzed over Nicolas Anelka’s recent declaration that he felt “ridiculous” in the recent friendly loss against Spain.

Domenech also reaffirmed his stance over players who are not fit to train on May 11, when the preliminary squad will be divulged, but he was keen not to close the door on Manchester City’s Patrick Vieira, who has struggled a little for form since joining the Premier League club from Inter during the January transfer window, indicating that if he had to select a squad today, the former Arsenal man would be involved.

Clash Of The Titans

Daftar Hotel Clash Of The Titans - I've been a little worried about War of the Gods, the new project from The Fall director Tarsem. The movie didn't just have a title nearly identical to Clash of the Titans, but it's about humans and Greek gods involved in warfare. There's nothing to be done about the similar plots-- the movie is filming now in Montreal, and hey, Clash of the Titans was a hit so maybe they want the similarity. But the title, at least, can be fixed.

Hotel di Jakarta - In a press release today (via Slashfilm) Relativity Media announced that War of the Gods is now called Immortals. Additionally, John Hurt and Isabel Lucas have joined the cast, with Hurt presumably doing his best Liam Neeson as Zeus, and Isabel Lucas playing Athena, "the daughter of Zeus who finds her loyalty tested as the war between the gods and Titans looms." Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto and Kellan Lutz, among other, are already on board in major roles.

John Hurt has joined the cast of Greek mythology epic War Of The Gods, which has now been renamed Immortals.

Transformers 2 femme fatale Isabel Lucas has also signed up to appear in the film, which follows the young warrior Theseus, who leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek gods to defeat the elder gods of the Titans in order to save mankind, Variety reports.

Tarsem Singh is directing the movie, which began shooting in Montreal this week.

The Tudors' Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz, Joseph Morgan, Freida Pinto and Mickey Rourke are also among the cast.

Hurt will play the earthly manifestation of Zeus, who acts as a mentor and teacher to Theseus, play by Cavill. Lucas will play Zeus' daughter Athena.

Immortals is due to be released on November 11, 2011.

Pidato Mega Pukulan bagi Kubu Koalisi

Daftar Hotel Pakar komunikasi politik Universitas Indonesia Effendi Ghazali menilai pidato Megawati Soekarnoputri saat membuka Kongres III PDIP ini merupakan pukulan telak bagi kubu yang selama ini mengusung manuver koalisi ke pemerintah SBY.

Hotel di Bandung"Itu merupakan komunikasi politik yang luar biasa yang dilakukan Megawati di dalam memberikan arah dan tujuan pada seluruh lapisan akar rumput pendukungnya," cetus Ghazali saat dihubungi dari Jakarta, Selasa (6/4).

Effendi yang terjun langsung memantau Kongres di Bali itu menjelaskan dari awal sampai akhir pidato itu menjelaskan sebuah sikap ketegasan seorang pemimpin politik yang berbeda dari sikap pemimpin politik nasional lainnya. Seperti halnya, ia menjelaskan soal sikap oposisi yang memang tidak diatur dalam konstitusi. Namun, Megawati juga menerangkan alasan rasional kenapa PDIP harus menjadi kekuatan penyeimbang.

Dosen FISIP UI itu menambahkan salah satu pernyataan Megawati yang paling menarik adalah ketika menyitir kutipan dari Kitab Bhawagad Ghita tentang pesan Kresna kepada Arjuna menjelang Perang Bharatayudha agar jangan ragu-ragu walau harus menghadapi saudara sendiri.

"Itu menjelaskan tidak apa-apa bertarung dengan saudara sendiri, asalkan benar-benar memperjuangan kepentingan rakyat," jelasnya.

Menurutnya, kutipan itu menegaskan Megawati mendorong keluarganya, apakah itu Prananda Prabowo, Puan Maharani, Puti Guntur Soekarnoputra, maupun Guruh Soekarnoputra, untuk saling bersaing di partai asalkan berjuang demi kepentingan rakyat. Ini menepis anggapan seolah Trah Soekarno di PDIP tidak bersaing untuk menarik gerbong pragmatis atau ideologis ketika Megawati dan Taufiq Kiemas mengumpulkan keluarganya yang aktif di partai banteng moncong putih, Senin (5/4).

Pendapat serupa dilontarkan fungsionaris PDIP DKI Jakarta, Dhia Prekasha Yoedha. Menurut dia pidato Megawati kali ini merupakan yang terbaik sejak pidato pembukaan Kongres Perjuangan tahun 1998 di lapangan Kapten Jaffa, Denpasar, yang melahirkan PDI Perjuangan.

Meski demikian, ia menyayangkan pidato itu tidak menyebut secara tegas agar kader-kader oportunis dan koruptif menyingkir dari partai. Kepengurusan DPP PDIP ke depan jangan diisi oleh orang-orang yang ingin melakukan barter kasus hukum atau menjadi bunker politik bagi kader-kader bermasalah dengan hukum.
