This is how skewed the PLP sense of humanity is.

Even die-hard FNM's are saying "Geez, I hope that the guy is alright".

To the PLP thugs, they see this as a sign of party weakness, to be covered up, smoothed over, denied, and minimalised.

A truly gracious, caring, concerned person would say *"We are concerned about Dr. Nottage, and we are having him examined at length to insure his health and well-being. Dr. Nottage's health is more important than any election and we hope and pray that this is nothing serious. We will keep our supporters informed and ask for prayers and support."*

That's what a normal human being would do. A PLP thug does the opposite. Deny, Deny, Deny. Dr. Nottage has a recent history of these episodes and even an ignorant person knows that this is not one off. There is an underlying condition. The PLP make me sick.

I have a better idea. Grand Bahama should declare independence, nationalise the port authority and Hutchison Whampoa holdings, declare Hawksbill void, and take their own future in their hand. Kick out the kleptocratic, corrupt Nassau, and run the island like a business.

This came across the Bloomberg screen as well. Every investment professional in the world will see this story. (Bloomberg picked it off Reuters).

Unfortunately there are the stupid people, and some of them live here in the comments section.

I don't think folks realise how dire the times are and how precarious our situation is. Hence it will come as a big shock to the unprepared. I do know that a fair number of Bahamians (mostly business people) have been making contingency plans since 2007.

I kind of like Anton Saunders. Used to see him a lot at Nesbit's, and talked to him some. The interesting thing here, is that if I am reading this right, and making the correct assumptions, that RoyalStar is going to make most of its money from the interest of the bonds that it invested in Gateway? I mean, don't get me wrong, making 6.5% on your money is damn good in these times, but even at 25 cent on the dollar, you have 35% of the defaulters under-insured,so unless they are captive insurance for the defaulters, it doesn't seem like much of a chance at a revenue stream other than the bond interest. Sure the liquidation value is higher if they dispossess the defaulters, but in this market, there are lots of bank-owned houses that aren't selling.

He used to be a nice guy. My grammy had a soft spot for not only him, but also The Minister of Muscle, Dr. Norman Gay (I think he got his name from being a world champion body builder or something like that and he was Minister of Health). Grammy doan like PLPs, but she liked these two. (I also think she had the hots for both of dems).

Umm, better lay off da special brownies Tal. Wese talkin' bout BJ's headvalves, and you have to mention redshirts?

Here's some talkin' points for you about BJ. He is a worser vomit swimmer than Crisco Butt. When Swindling was forced to give up the post of capo de tutti capi, BJ thought that he could replace him. Swindling dint like dat. He wanted Perry, because Perry was his blue-eyed boy, going by the name of Ben Dover then. BJ was better looking, smarter, a doctor, richer and a natural choice to succeed Swindling as the head of all rackets. But it didn't happen.

The PLP in a rare mood of carnivorous habits decide to eat one of their own. They conducted a smear campaign against BJ. Because he was a groinocologist, they called him an abortionist. His wife Portia was an entertainer, so naturally she would be a whore.

BJ took this all in stride, and swam back through the vomit of the sub-humans that denigrated him, embarrassed him, dragged him through mud, libeled him, and humiliated him. Whatever BJ got out of the PLP at a later date was bought and paid for. Yet he just took it, and went back for more.

I just hope that BJ retires before he gets what a drowning swimmer needs -- a good stroke.

True dat about his life being in danger. He could be hit with the big one anytime. He needs to get his azz to Florida at a good medical institution and have every test under the sun for stroke diagnosis, remediation.

He has these regular episodes. He had one in Parliament. Transient Ischemic Attack. He is ill and not fit to stand for election. (nor are any other PLPs for that matter).
