Mitchell is mentally ill. He needs help. Instead the retarded PLP make him a cabinet minister. Those primitive, sub-human life forms in the PLP government are the greediest and stupidest animals on the island, and it never ceases to amaze me how they rationalise their stupidity.

It is almost like Fred is allowed to do and say what he wants, and Christie just mouths platitudes about i.

Never mind asking -- just put them on a plane to Havana. Once they deplane, it isn't the Bahamas problem any more. You don't lock them up and throw away the key for years. Australia returns their undesirables the same day or the next day.

This is all you need to know about Fred Mitchell. He needs help:

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a disorder that is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody’s life or to anyone they meet.

People with narcissistic personality disorder often display snobbish, disdainful, or patronizing attitudes. For example, an individual with this disorder may complain about a clumsy waiter’s “rudeness” or “stupidity” or conclude a medical evaluation with a condescending evaluation of the physician. The pattern is stable and of long duration, and its onset can be traced back to early adulthood or adolescence.

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder

In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

*Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

*Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people

*Requires excessive admiration

*Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

*Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

*Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

*Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

*Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Narcissistic personality disorder is more prevalent in males than females, and is thought to occur in around 6 percent of the general population, according to research.

I am still amazed at how the un-intelligent among us cannot grasp the subtleties of what being a good leader for the country entails. Honestly, if they were any slower, they would be going backwards, like the country is now. You talk sense to a fool and he calls your foolish. I've learned to never under-estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Whatever his shortcomings are, Minnis beats Christie by miles, and if we had an intelligent populace, all could see he is the only choice to stop this slide into anarchy and oblivion that we are seeing in our or at least my beloved Bahamas. But alas, in this country, stupidity is not a handicap. When I read about CB Moss's Hands around the Bahamas crusade, it struck me, that we don't need a crusade against crime -- we need one against stupidity. Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.

Looks like the bozos in this case are Christie, Fred Mitchell and Shame Gibson. They all should resign.

The key is that the deal has to be done now. Nothing is happening now, so this date too will be missed.

I happen to agree with this article. The malcontent and rabble rousers create a lot of market noise. But ultimately Minnis will be elected and it will be better than the PLP. Not great, but better than the PLP. It is all that we can hope for in this backward, unenlightened land.

banker says...

There goes Christie's last hope. The only other one that Christie is hoping on is Ruffin. We all know that Ruffin will never invest in the Bahamas again, in spite of what he tells Crisco-Butt.
