Election silly season
They call the run-up to an election, the silly season. Well it seems we might have gone considerably past that, listening and reading comments in the media.
Misleading headlines
I have long suspected both our dailies of needlessly presenting the most negative possible headline for a story about the Bahamas.
Time to graduate
There are few sights more embarrassing than a Bahamian government minister getting before an international audience and arguing that, despite the data consistently confirming us as a high-income country with a high standard of living, we somehow deserve to be classed among Haiti, Honduras and El Salvador, when it comes to concessionary lending.
Answers needed
These issues must be answered:
Baha Mar wait
The efforts to resolve the debacle at Baha Mar will not have resolution any time soon. The Chinese are not in a position where they have to sell the property in the foreseeable future.

Christie and the IDB: Failure to engage
This week a failed Prime Minister gets to puff up his chest and strut around the failed Baha Mar resort and pretend to host the annual general meetings of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Review of the Marriage Act of the Bahamas may be needed
IN THE lead up to the referendum on gender equality there is a concern that one of the proposed Bills by its wording can lead to same sex marriage in the country.
More problems after delay of National health Insurance
The announced delay of National Health Insurance (NHI) “again” by the Minister of Health might cause more problems than this Administration could ever envisage. The ongoing debacle of CLICO has made NHI urgently necessary.
Moncur not fit to be FNM chair
NO ONE can deny that Rodney Moncur is an indefatigable, tenacious political aspirant.
