Lard ass, as you so crudely put it, is on a plane this morning headed to Long Island. Can the same be said for the reps of Exuma and Cat Islands? Furthermore, there is much work to be done, which is why Mrs. Butler-Turner is first focusing on HER constituency. There are many people who need help there.

Why must we make this a political issue? There are human beings, some our friends and family members. who are suffering. They need our help. SP, what are you doing to help these relief efforts? Go buy some food and water and take it down to one of the 3 collection sites around the islands. Be a part of the solution instead of just making noise!

Already done! Both are on board -- Fast Ferries and Island Link. But the airlift is going to be the first responders to assess what is needed and provided immediate aid.

There's going to be a lot of work ahead.

Birdie, as usual, your logic is astounding.

Mrs. Butler Turner can do far more for her constituents by being in Nassau and coordinating supplies and assistance from Nassau.

Which is far more than we can say for your beloved PLP - Acklins's administrator fled the island ahead of the storm and where is Mr. V. Alred Gray -- is he in Acklins and Crooked Island? Oh, and even Mr. Perry Christie can't even get the damn name of the storm correct. Please leave your brainwashed politics out of it, Birdie.

People are suffering on many of our islands -- now is not time for stupid, petty politics. Now is the time to help those poor people who have lost so much. So what are you doing to help, Birdie?

"confirmed that he was in a lunging position at the time he was shot"

DEDDIE, common sense tells you that if he was in a lunging position, he would not have been shot in the back of the neck. Something smells here.

And they want to make this a University? Good Lord, can we just get the damn basics right first? What a disgrace this little banana republic has become.

Not to begrudge SAC their sports successes, but why does the Tribune devote a front page and half to this game? What about a headline from last week where instead of congratulating St. Andrew's for a win over SAC, the article only talks about SAC's loss and not St. Andrew's win? How about some unbiased and equal-space reporting?

Yeah, I was also wondering how an attacking suspect can get shot in the back of his neck while being a threat -- being unarmed and all with how many police/immigration officers? And accidentally discharged? Why was the gun out of the holster to begin with unless he/she planned to shoot the suspect? Someone needs to answer some questions.

Yes, if that's what it takes to combat crime. Surely it's about the good of the country and the Bahamian people, and not just about votes, right?

Oh, right, that's not how it works at all, is it? Sorry for daring to dream.

Minnis needs to start leading or get out of the way.

Enraged or frustrated, this young lady needs to learn that there is a proper way to comport yourself when applying for a job. Employers are free to hire whom they wish and to make whatever job requirements they need to best operate their business. They are not a charity, and do not HAVE to give out jobs, as this young lady seems to feel entitled to.

I think we can agree that the Bahamas public education system has failed our young people for years. This is what we are getting fresh out of high school -- young people who cannot read or write properly and have no idea how to behave professionally.
