Break out the box
THE ruling Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) is celebrating its third year in office following its re-election in 2012. This is a wonderful time to give thanks to God and to the people of this wonderful little nation for allowing us to govern, again, on behalf of the people of The Bahamas. I hope that we, corporately, will worship at Living Waters Kingdom Ministries where Apostle Raymond Wells is senior pastor.
Political 'dinosaurs' are here to stay
I always find the proposition intriguing when commentators or columnists anticipate the likely death of the Bahamian two-party establishment as a third party seemingly gains ground. Nicole Burrows is the most recent columnist to raise this spectre as she foresees the political dynamic shifting steadily in the Democratic National Alliance’s favour.
Disgust at the deplorable state of our roads
Kindly permit me space in your valuable columns to express my utter disgust over the deplorable state of our roads. For safety of life and limb one has to memorise the numerous potholes throughout New Providence.
Carnival history
With Carnival arriving in The Bahamas we should have a clear understanding exactly the history behind Carnival.
PM wakes up but far too late
This morning’s newspapers reports that the Prime Minister has expressed “major concerns” over the delay in the opening of the Baha Mar Resort.
Tripping over their own rhetoric
Over the past couple months the government has been telling us what a great success the implementation of Value Added Tax (VAT) has been.

Time to up the fines
I had the following observations during my recent holidays in the SE USA.
The cost of VAT to business
As the manager of a VAT compliant, small business in The Bahamas I deal with VAT every day. For reference purposes, my position encompasses hiring, firing, ordering, accounts payable, accounts receivable. I do it all. My job since VAT has tripled in administrative processing – specifically in the accounts department.
Some entertainers are selfish
Some Junkanoo groups and entertainers who are praying for the Junkanoo Carnival to be a flop are nothing less than patriotic.
Freeport Carnival off the chain
I watched the Junkanoo Carnival in Freeport over the weekend and was blown away with the participation, enthusiasm and excitement of the general public.
Junkanoo Carnival is not political
The attempt to make Junkanoo Carnival a political event has caused what is going to be an occasion for people who see the glass as half full to fully apply themselves and see the awesome benefits.
Pride in Bahamians
One time ago we advertised the natural beauty of our country and the friendliness of our people as the national resources of our country.
When the heat is on
Today’s news is so depressing that I thought I would submit this little Heaven-Devil tale to relieve the gloom. Some time ago this tale was making it rounds on Facebook just at a time when I needed something to laugh about.
Carnival is all Bahamian
The time is drawing nigh for much talked about Junkanoo Carnival. Never before have I seen anything being condemned. I have heard and seen supposedly calm persons become almost hysterical about this ever happening.
