Minnis Shines On Caricom Stage
Hot on the heels of his impressive domestic policy roll-out here at home, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis cut his teeth in foreign policy recently when he represented us at a turbulent but comfortably familiar Caricom family reunion.
Where's the beef on NHI?
The discussion around the proposed NHI scheme brings to mind the now-iconic Wendy’s television commercial in which three elderly ladies were served a hamburger. Admiring the “big, fluffy bun” on the outside, they opened the bun to find a burger so small that one of them exclaimed, “Where’s the beef?”
Who are the debtors?
Merriam-Webster defines “nebulous” as relating to, or resembling, a nebula.
Cancel not privatise the carnival
Some time ago I drafted a letter to the editor to commend Bahamian musician and producer Fred Ferguson for withdrawing his support from carnival, but in the business of life, I did not finalise and send it.

BJ Nottage’s Sporting Legacy
The Bahamas participated in its first Carifta Games in Trinidad in May of 1973, two months prior to independence.
Yes or no on Baha Mar?
I watched Prime Minister Minnis respond to the media’s questions, in the chamber of Parliament, and honestly was shocked at how he responded to their questions - as if it was the Prime Minister’s Press Secretary, who caused the natural question anyway. Total misrepresentation.
A vote for a shuffle on Bank Lane
AFTER Attorney General Carl Bethel stated that there was nothing said by any FNM MP during the budget debate that raised criminal concerns, with respect to the PLP government’s handling of public funds, smug PLPs have bragged that the FNM “They Gern to Jail” campaign has fallen flat on its face.
