It's the PLP legacy -- say anything you want -- the truth doesn't matter to them. Their moral compass is sub-human. The PLP don't even know that they are lying anymore. They have regressed to duplicitous animals. Honour and Integrity are fairy tales to them.

I'd rather take Christie than Bran.

But, Minnis has what it takes -- not to be a politician, but to generate policy that actually helps instead of hinders this country.

But quite frankly, it doesn't matter who is in charge. The country is screwed unless drastic measures are taken. And with the generations of defective human capital, it will take many years beyond our lifetimes to get to even a second world country.

Goodbye Sandals. Goodbye jobs.

The trouble with Branville McCartney is that he is a lightweight that lies. The most notable one that stuck in my craw was his assertion that he was democratically elected as leader of the DNA. Several disaffected early members state that it is an outright lie.

That goes to character. He is unfit to lead the country.

I just wish that both teachers and student could speak proper English, instead of "we een gat nuttin'".

There are three types of averages: Mean, Median and Modal. The numbers are different for each type of average.

Using the above figures for the BGCSE, the median average was D as 11,789 results were D or below. There were 23790 results listed and the exact middle of that is 11,895.

The modal average of the BGCSE was C with 7,047 results.

The mean average per student is not being given. It is the embarassing part for Jerome and indictment of his tenure as cabinet minister. One can assume that if they are hiding it, it is bad.

Tings dat make you go hmmmm.

1) I thought that "the eye doctor" -- Jonathan Rodgers was the economics guy for the DNA. During the last election he was Bran's puppetmaster during the speeches. Rodgers, having written a self-published, vanity press book on the Bahamian economy, has failed in every business venture that he undertook, from pizza to the Mango card, with the exception of actual eye-doctoring, but even then, the Pearl Vision franchise disappeared.

2) Wasn't Youri Kemp was the profane, anger-management case who posted beheading videos on Bahamian forums -- notably Bahamas Issues and Webby's iBahamian a few years ago?

Memories are long in this town.

Oh my my my. Sighhhh. Another one spouting off, showing that they don't know what they don't know. Let's deconstruct this from the top.

A billion dollars huh? What our naive Myles-Munroe-ite doesn't know, is that there is a quick, rule-of-thumb formula for determining how much infrastructure spending is required to generate an increase in economic activity. The rule of thumb is 1:4. What this means is that for every dollar of infrastructure spending, you can expect $4 in return. So to generate a billion dollars, you must spend at least $250 million in new infrastructure. Who has that kind of money? No one but foreigners and that is not solving any problems. It is the old FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) trap where Bahamians don't own their own economy.

If you want a whole pile of tourists bonefishing & birdwatching amounting to millions of dollars, you must have more airlift - meaning better airports, better roads & taxis, modern hotels, boats, conservation agents, guides and the resources to support them, like a reliable electricity supply (as KB sings "Send da powa! Send da powa!").

As a former data commissioner, she should know that flogging natural resources without infrastructure is a losing proposition. The quickest wealth generators today are knowledge industries and commerce. Instead she is trying to eat up the natural resources of Andros for the sake of tourism. The Stafford Sands Model is dying, almost dead. Even the Solar Verde project was a tired tourism project.

To these naive, political wannabes, eco-tourism appears to be low-hanging fruit that can be easily harvested but it is not. Not only do you have infrastructure costs, but you must have something totally unique for the experiential tourism adventure. Yes Andros is pristine, but it is not as sexy as the eco-tourism of the Costa Rican tropical rainforest or the wildlife diversity of a thousand other eco-destinations. Even birdwatching doesn't have a wide range of diversity to attract the tourists who will pay a pretty penny just to get to Andros.

Andros is a gem. But do you know what the proper use for Andros should be? It should be the breadbasket and fruit basket of the Bahamas. It should be the epicenter of Bahamian food security for our nation. It has that much potential, but that requires a visionary government, and the PLP have tunnel-vision from looking out of their asses for the entire time that they have been in power.

Andros has the ability to generate a lot of hard, foreign currency with very simple ideas that generate a lot of value. money and jobs with minimal environmental and infrastructure impact, but since no one else has the vision to see it, I'm not going to spell out the idea here. There may be a very profitable business for me in my future.

Our naive candidate here is not going to change the Westminster system of government. We can't even give women equality.

So Crisco Butt goes to China to beg the Chinese premier Li Keqiang to open Baha Mar. He goes up to the guard post of the premier's office and says "My name is Perry Christie from the Bahamas and I am here for Premier Li Kegiang".

The guard looks him up and down, and picks up the phone. When someone answers it, he says "Can you please tell the premier that his taxi is here.".

The Chinese have already said that The Pointe will miss its 2017 opening. Baha Mar is not on their list at all. It is a sinkhole for money, and EXIM will not give them more good money to chase after bad.

And EXIM will not sell for pennies on the dollar, so it will just rot there like other unfinished Chinese projects around the world.

Baha Mar is the carrot. As soon as the PLP get uppity with the Chinese, all they have to day is say "Mind, or we won't finish Baha Mar". It will be a virtual perpetual lever over Crisco and the PLP.
