Sigh! Tribune editorial and the facts have no relation. In other words, "liar, liar" Mr. Tribune editor. Second paragraph...I heard Brave's sound bite and he did not say that the PLP will not do anything about it. What, in fact, was said was that the PLP could not say that marital rape would be a priority item. Brave then said the pressing concern - rightly so, as the Bahamas is the 6th most expensive country in the world, if you believe the reports - is the economy.
Look, the Tribune is a slightly worse version of The Punch, but you can at least be truthful...even in your editorials.

A note about Shenique's show, if I may. Preface, I have no idea - nor do I care - whether the demise of her show was due to "politics" or otherwise. I am merely commenting on the show itself, which - quite frankly - was not a very good show. Shenique's command of the English language, for a journalist, is amateurish - at best. Her diction and ability to pronounce words is substandard, and that is if I am being charitable. Her command of topics that she is supposed to be discussing is basic, surface level and without an ounce of nuance thought. For example, her interview with Brent Symonette regarding the leasing situation was uniformed, ignorant and again, amateurish (I am NOT speaking of the politics of the situation, just the questions that should have been asked by a journalist seeking information about a situation for listeners). Finally, like so many new talk show hosts of the day, there appears to be something fascinating with speaking informally, off-the-cuff, jokingly, apathetically. As a talk show host, one's job is to be serious, direct, probing - not "yucking it up" with one's guest (most talk shows are guilty of this, by the way). Shenique's show, in my view was simple at best and, in all honesty, it is no great loss that the show is gone. Perhaps a more informed, professional can take that timeslot and provide the critical analysis that we need.

They are also subject to an education that many of them would not have been able to afford otherwise. Which would then lead them to "knocking about" in Nassau, with no hope, no education, no sustainable job and then having people like you casitgate them for being the product of a "D-average" system. I think I will take the former.

Um, because he is a policy offer, in a country with a raging murder rate and other serious crimes. You prefer that while all of this was happening, the ACP was on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean drinking margaritas? Sheesh.

You miss my point, Chucky. If that is how the government feels, then say that the are being "put to pasture" because they are "bumbling buffoons". Don't make up imaginary, never-before-seen positions...this is purely political, period.

Because that is not the point, joeblow. The point is who should determine what a woman wants to do with her body. You are Christian, many people are not. Why should you Judeo-Christian values outstrip another's different beliefs?

You stated an inaccurate concept, clearly about The Bahamas. Don't backstroke now, Michael Phelps.
