Glenys a front for Obie
I watched with a smile the launch of the candidacy of Glenys Hanna-Martin for the post of PLP leader. Glenys was among her supporters pledging to modernise her party if they pick her to be leader.
Empty barrels
LISTENING to former minister Zhivargo Laing yesterday on his radio talk show, I was amazed to hear him attempt to redefine the projects of the Chinese in The Bahamas as simply, “strategic investments”, not unlike those controlled by US or other super power interests.
Praise for Bamboo Shack
I want to publicly thank and applaud Anthonique Sawyer who works at Bamboo Shack (Southwest Plaza). I was in there on Wednesday (August 30th) and she gave the most amazing service.
Dress the proper way
Showing respect to The Office of The Governor·General - dress code
Legalising drugs
DECRIMINALIZING possession of small amounts of drugs is in fact legalising drugs, the possession, whatever amount you might have - no less no more.
Airbnb tax a minor issue
I borrowed a copy of the Punch from a friend of mine yesterday, to read an article by Nicki Kelly on what seems to have become a subject of significant national importance now.
Still in love with Trump, Mr Symonette?
When he was a private citizen nobody cared that Brent Symonette found in Donald Trump a man with whom he was so enamored that he would have voted for him in last November’s election if he had US citizenship.
Alfred Sears should run for leader
I admire that Alfred Sears had the courage to challenge Perry Christie at the last PLP convention. It is sad that the PLP did not have the good sense to get rid of Mr Christie and go into the election with a better leader.
Larry Smith is a big loss
THE Bahamas has indeed lost a fearless and excellent journalist. Larry Smith was one of the very best.

BP&L - ZNS News report Sunday last. Wow if you believe one word of that release all our troubles with excessively high electricity rates have to be over - what a lot of garbage.
Bishop Neil Ellis and his sermon
I assume Bishop Nei Ellis has a thorough knowledge of the 10 commandments specifically for this letter the 8th Thou Shalt Not Steal.
Electoral reform
THE recent revelation regarding BPL’s $1.5m dollar payout as authorised by Shane Gibson and former DPM Philip ‘Brave’ Davis reiterates the need for reformation of the electoral process.
Bad service at NIB
I think it is very ridiculous that I have spent 30 minutes of my morning (9am-9:30am) calling the National Insurance Board to ask one question and I can‘t get the phone answered. How is it possible for a building of at least 300+ people and no one answers the phone?
First Class or People’s Class?
So are the Ministers of The People’s Government travelling ‘People’s Class’ or ‘First Class’?
Graduate's selective morality
IN long-winded discussions, one can easily forget the core issue being discussed. I think this is what happened to The Graduate in his public discussion with me on civil unions and homosexual marriage. He seems to have forgotten the core issue. Please allow me space to remind The Graduate of the core issue and to point further to his selective morality.
