FNM meltdown?
IT is written, rightly or wrongly, “That whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad”. Whether or not this applies to the Minnis administration may be moot, but clearly, something is wrong with it’s style of governance. In recent times any number of troubling issues and public policy initiatives seem to be plaguing this regime.
What real support?
ON Sunday, 18th August, Our Prime Minister toured BPL Clifton and Blue Hills and declared “It’s a Crisis Now”, and offered the Bahamian people ( at least in Nassau) “sympathy”. I’ve been waiting all week to see if anything else might be offered, and since none has been, presumably there won’t be else.

Promiscuity in The Bahamas
We Bahamians must now come to grips with our rampant sexual promiscuity and its attendant sexual transmitted diseases (STDs), namely HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis.

Minimum wage and its effects

Political corruption
THE other day Boggie, Yakka, Porky and me was having our usual discussion under Ms Annie Canep tree. After Yakka finished talking about pa doody and what killed him we decided to talk about the most corrupt agency in government. Boggie said it gotta be road traffic, Yakka axed if he was crazy, he say it gotta be Physical Planning.
