I have a story about Glenys. I knew that I was going to a Canadian university (I worked my butt off landscaping around PI to get the money). However due to some confusion on my part, I missed the enrollment deadline for the more prestigious university that I really wanted to go for. So a lesser university was still open to me (cheaper and its credits were totally transferable in the second year where I eventually went).

Anyway I was talking to an English prof and he detected my slight Bahamian accent. He asked me where I was from. I told him The Bahamas. He said that when he started teaching some 10-15 years ago, he had another Bahamian student. It was Glenys. She is the daughter of A.D., and my grandfather had a lot of respect for A.D. when he resigned from Swindling's cabinet, because Swindling was criminal.

So I said to the prof that he must have a good opinion of Bahamian students. He said that he couldn't remember much about her class work. I said that was memorable in itself. Little did I know that the prof was predicting her legacy --little would be remembered about her. Now A.D., that's a different story.

Amen and Amen.

So tell us how you feel. Watsayu?

The trouble with the DNA is that it wasn't founded on some guiding principles. It was founded by an intellectual lightweight who didn't have a political home. He wanted the job of leader without understanding what it takes. He was cast in the same mold as Christie. He thinks that leadership of a country is just being there and not thinking very deeply.

He didn't inspire voters, because he wasn't inspired. His memes were "We are going to fix it." whereas Minnis' memes were "We are going to give the government back to the people".

Is there long term hope for the DNA? I don't think so. It wasn't founded on high principles. It wasn't founded with an overriding mission of greatness. It wasn't founded to empower people. It was merely a political vehicle for a person with a huge overestimation of his abilities and a tremendous lack of humility -- which was a virtue espoused by Dr. Minnis. I like humility in a leader.

That's going to change.

>Good time now for the PLP to remake itself from the inside out and find honourable men and women who believe in accountability, honesty, public service, truthfulness, humility.

There are no honourable men and women in the PLP. They are about as honest as the men who say that they go to Hooters for the food. They flip flop like a dying fish, depending on who is paying. Truth to them is like speaking Chinese to a Mexican. They are all as solicitous as sphincter salt pounders. For PLPs, patriotism is like deodorant. Those who need it most, never use it.

The PLP should be disbanded. They are an anti-truth, criminal racket. Here is a quote from Fweddy's post on BananasUncensored.com:
>There is no doubt that when the FNM loses this election campaign Hubert Ingraham should take the main blame for the loss.

They lie worse, stink more and are lower than a dead potcake pounded into the pavement. They are a pox on this country that was excised. It was enough to convert me back to religion.

I honestly think that Perry is all shook up. He saw himself as Emperor and I do not believe that it even entered his mind that he would lose. He was out of touch, even with himself.

He honestly thought that he was loved. He thought that he did a bang-up job. He was an idee-fixe kind of guy. Baha Mar wasn't open, and he had to get it open for his legacy, so he sold the country to the Chinese. It made perfect sense to him. He had to get Baha Mar open. He also doesn't have a moral compass, so making a lil money on the side is the way things are done. He really is a stupid man.

He is probably drinking away his sorrow.

Several clarifications here. In most Commonwealth countries, it is called Royal Commission of Inquiry. In Bahamian Law Act 1911.1911-22 Chapter 184, there is no terminology for Royal. It is just a commission of Inquiry. It is not authorised by Parliament, but rather by the Governor General. Here are the first two stanzas of the act:

1. This Act may be cited as the Commissions of Inquiry Act.

2. Whenever it shall appear to the Governor-General that it will be for the public benefit so to do, the GovernorGeneral may issue a commission in the form of the First Schedule to this Act appointing persons, not less than three in number, to inquire into and report upon any matter stated in such commission as the subject of inquiry.

In English Commonwealth Common Law, whenever the authority of the Governor General is quoted, the unwritten subtext, is "On the advice of the Prime Minister".

An audit is more powerful that a commission of inquiry. Why? Because illegality can be more easily proven than by trying to prove intent of direct malfeasance. A cabinet minister, such as Shame Gibson has legally binding fiduciary responsibility to the ministry. An audit can prove that the fiduciary responsibility was transgressed without having to prove before a quasi-judicial body that there was intent of malfeasance. The auditors will follow the money and we know where it will end up.

Just so you know for future reference.

Sigh .... making shiite up again. I have been very close to the FNM campaign and have a good idea from where the money came. Please honour yourself by posting only the truth.

I am urging all of my FNM contacts, now MPs to retract the legislation and make web shops inllegal, and in its place, install a national lottery where all of the profits go into the treasury.

Bahamians are going to play the numbers, so their money might as well be used for the good of the country instead of enriching the webshop bosses.
