Damn it! I saw the word "commital" and two things went through my mind. First of all, it was spelled wrong -- has two t's as in committal. And then my heart leaped for joy -- I thought that they were committing Crisco Butt to Sandilands. He is not only crazy, he is criminal. I would be content with sending him either to Sandilands or to Fox Hill.

Typical PLP education ~ his name was Ernest Hemingway, not Earnest!

Never get involved in your client's deals.

Many lawyers get rich by "getting in on the action" but sometimes greed trumps prudence.

Fred Mitchell never was "brilliant". He lacks the intellectual capacity, the rational, reasoned judgement, the pragmatism, and ethical compass to be that. He is devoid of statesmanship, and his go-to position is that of parochial hypocrisy.

Publicly he has compared the Bahamian electorate to children, and in many statements, implied that the electorate are too dense to know what is good for them.

It is evident to everyone, except Mr. Mitchell himself, that he possesses the worst of human qualities when it comes to government and personal comportment.

His sole reason for the rise to where he is, came from Pindling's strange predilection for so-called 'blue-eyed boys" of which Mr. Mitchell was one. Mr. Mitchell saw this as an opportunity to further himself, but then his ego got in the way. He misjudged the power of Pindling, and the un-importance of the power over Pindling of the tales he was going to reveal about the great leader. Consequently he spent years in the wilderness, forming his own political party, burning the constitution and other chicanery to re-insert himself into significance. He finally emulated Perry Christie, and swam back through the vomit to the PLP again. Christie is so weak, that he is unable to control Mitchell or any part of his cabinet, even though Mitchell is not in the inner circle of the true power of the PLP.

So Mr. Mitchell must demonstrate his significance some other way, and it manifests itself in the bizarre, strange behaviour documented above as well as in all of the press in The Bahamas.

He has become a caricature and a sad parody of what a Cabinet minister should be. And this is from someone who decided to credential himself at the JFK School of Government. Obviously the lessons never took.

So why did this moron campaign against it years ago. Disingenuous piece of crap he is!

No .. they are working at the AG's house alongside her Filipino maids.

The trouble is that Bahamian entrepreneurs do not have access to two things: (1) startup capital and (2) capital in a convertible currency to pay for equipment, supplies etc.

There is no tradition of venture capital or angel investing to fund good ideas. The efforts put out by the government is just a way to re-distribute wealth to their cronies, and there is no due diligence in making sure that the business is viable.

Your idea of pies is a good one, and it would have been done in a healthy, diversified economy with a merchant and commercial banking system. Instead we have the BoB cronyism. There are many more ideas. I previously pointed out foreigners making sea grape leaves cosmetics in France. I am sure that there are many exploitable things that we could make and sell domestically if there was an incubator system for startups in the economy.

Mitchell's middle name is malfeasance. From his twisted proclivities to his habitual prevarication, he is an embarrassment to the Bahamas. I once heard an ex-Canadian cabinet minister who is now a university president refer to Mitchell as a sick puppy.

Feculence always comes out of Mitchell's liar hole. It's always disappointing when his pants don't actually catch fire.

Right now, it takes the Chinese three hours to try and back out of a driveway anyway. Quickest way to blind a Chinese is to put a windshield in front of his eyes.
