Stop the flying circus
IS MATTHEW already becoming a potential “political gainer”?
My hurricane experience
PLEASE allow me to share a few thoughts are the recent hurricane expeirence we have all endured. Matthew may be gone, but I doubt will ever be forgotten.
Where are the radars?
PRIME Minister Christie speaks with considerable emotion on climate warming and the evident dangers of that to The Bahamas. However, the two principal friends to The Bahamas, the USA and the People’s Republic of China, are two of the worst climate offenders.
Fitzgerald under the bus?
A LONG time ago, a political expert told me that whenever Pindling was getting ready to throw a colleague under the bus, he would start letting off hints that that person might be his successor for leadership.
Learning lessons of Joaquin
THE Organization for Responsible Governance extends every hope that everyone affected by Hurricane Matthew is safe.
Making a hash of communication in the heart of the hurricane
For a moment, I thought that NEMA was going to be much more organised in its communications this time around.
PM out of tune
LAST month, the Prime Minister opened up and expressed his hurt and pain caused by the nasty, vile song that was written about him and his family. I join with him and all right thinking Bahamians in condemning the song and gutter politics.
Cutting the hills must be stopped
OVER the past 30 years, we have seen the catastrophe wrought on Haiti due to their denuding the forestation on their part of the island of Hispaniola.
Political choices
The Democratic National Alliance just concluded a hugely successful and well attended convention. Most of the featured speakers, especially the newly re-elected Leader, Branville McCartney; the newly re-elected Deputy Leader and, of course, my ‘favourite’ DNA candidate, Stephen Greenslade (DNA nominee-Golden Isles), were focused, well-informed and acquitted themselves with aplomb.
Cost effectiveness of Junkanoo Carnival
THE unprofitable extravagance of the ‘Bread and Circuses”, with which the once-mighty Romans were obsessed, contributed greatly to the political compliance of the grassroots masses and eventual downfall.
Acknowledge sleeping giant
IN 2012, the Democratic National Alliance made history on many levels. More than 13,000 Bahamians voted for them even though they were a third party and this was their first political challenge for the government of The Bahamas.
Baha Mar documents
YOUR Neil Hartnell exposed the reason why the Baha Mar documents were sealed and possibly will remained sealed.
Say what again?
THE public was left flabbergasted yesterday when a news report was delivered describing the damaging effects to electrical equipment and appliances that result from constant power cuts and inconsistent power surges, which were blamed for crippling PMH’s surgical efficiency for the past several weeks!
A politics lesson for Dionisio
Permit me to be so brash as to lecture the great washer Dionisio d’Aguilar in a course I call “Politics 101”.
Say what?
HERE we are, recently downgraded, teetering precariously at the cusp, faced with the very real danger of falling off the financial cliff into financial ruin whilst we wait in line for another financial evaluation in a few months.
