Jet Men

I suppose you are all up to your necks in news concerning this multi-million dollar jet that these ridiculous PNM members want to purchase. I think I have kept my silence long enough on the issue. First off, I think it is quite typical of the PNM to brazenly make purchases of this nature. The PNM government is all about spending. Spending, spending and more spending.

I recall when Kamla was the education minister she realized we had to build a lot of schools as we said we would in the budget. She then made it clear that we don’t need to spend as much as we said we would, so we built fewer schools than we said we would and look at us now!

I must admit, if I were to go down in a blaze of glory as I said I pleaded with you to I might be in a similar position as Patrick. I will be totally honest in saying that it is tough travelling about the world. There are arguments that Caribbean Airlines can carry you wherever you need to go, but there are problems with dealing with commercial flights. I see no problem with owning a jet but there are 2 things to consider.

Timing is the first thing. Now may not be the best time to make such a purchase. While it may save time, there really are a lot of things that can be done with this money, perhaps putting it in a London bank account? For the interest, of course. To give back to the country.

The second thing to consider is the type of jet. Raffique Shah says most flights that need to be taken will not even be very far so a cheaper jet may be suitable.

This would not be such a big problem if people voted for the UNC. Frugality is something we know. We would have spent as little as we could and put that money elsewhere, provided the integrity commission doesn’t find out.

But you voted for the PNM, the only jet I am concerned with is getting the high score in Jetman on Facebook.

Barbados and Trinidad in Fishing Cahoots?

Barbados’ Prime Minister David Thompson and Patrick Manning are involved in things I do not want to talk about, but I must. During some talks on a new fishing agreement Thompson said:

 “Neither PM Manning nor I am responsible for where fish travel in the Caribbean and all our fishermen want to do is follow them.“

This of course comes after Patrick said it would not be unreasonable to have a new agreement within a year. Listen to me: FORGET ALL THAT.

What is happening right under our noses is bigger than anything you, me or Ramesh knew about. Have you ever seen the movies Men in Black? (Oma brought them home years ago thinking they were pornographic.) After seeing these movies you will know exactly what it is these two hoodlums are up to: they’ve formed a secret society comprised of the two of them in which they use a neuralyzer to get other countries in the Caribbean to agree to whatever fishing agreements they want, meaning Trinidad and Barbados may go as they please in any waters and fish to their heart’s content.

Actually, I’m hankering for some Dolphin right now, but this is a word to the wise in Trinidad and Barbados! Stay alert! And of course, I have the pitear to prove what I am saying.

Legal Issues

My Lawyers suggested I stop blogging in case I say something that would wreck my chances of having this case thrown out. It’s nothing major, something about a parking ticket. Please do not worry, it is nothing that would tarnish my reputation. At any rate, I am back in this, I believe. Blogging. And it feels good. What will feel better is going through all the nonsense the PNM is doing and I cannot wait to rip into them.

I Am “Mashed Up”

I have no way to get around this, I have let  you down. How could I be so selfish as to not enrich your lives with what is going on in mine? I attended Mania, Kama Sutra and Beetham fetes, they were quite fun! I found it quite comical when Ramesh told me “my pressure MAD MAD MAD!” at one point in j’ouvert on Monday morning only to find out Tuesday he really did have high blood pressure at St. Clair Medical Complex. It was quite the scare.

It goes without saying that I am very much tired after the Carnival season, but as the old saying goes, the wicked never sleep. Not that I am wicked. I don’t even think that is how the saying goes. Well, it is back to work. Accept my apologies.

Ra ta Too EE Car Nee Ma Ta

I’m here in India having a bawl because Oma and I went to Karni Mata and well, let’s just say underneath my shoes are less than clean! While we were there, the rats flocked to my feet. You know how they say when foreigners come down and the mosquitoes attack them and nobody else in the area that they sense the new blood? Seems to be the same issue here. Oma became frightened seeing all the rats around me. I honestly believe I could have lied down and they would have taken me all over the place.

I called Ramesh to tell him what had happened and he made a joke about the head rat going home to see the children and they were happy. We had a good laugh over it, then there was an awkward silence. We ended the conversation there.

Is PNM Fault!

Damn right I wasn’t at the Finance Committee meeting in Parliament. The PNM seems to think they can dictate the underlying fibers of how a Government approaches things such as common courtesy. If Ramesh wants to jet set to Grenada he should be able to do so, as should I here in India. The PNM should be giving us sufficient time to go about our business elsewhere, since some of us may or may not be seeing about purchasing new houses in different countries that we don’t want the public to know about. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Playing Games

Still in vacation mode, but Ramesh is giving it to the PNM and their games. Their latest game? Hangman.

I Actually Agree With The PNM

I have a smile on my face reading about the COP not being allowed into parliament. I don’t even care about the reason, I’m just glad they did it. Oh, how I long to be home again to wreak havoc on them.

Mister Duck and Run then went on to say something about the COP only spending $12 million on the last election while the UNC-A and PNM spent $249 million. I’m not sure what the point he was trying to make was exactly. Perhaps that the COP is inadequate and should not be allowed to enter parliament? That seems like it.

Tools

I don’t even have to be in the country for my blood to boil over the PNM showing how useless they are. The non proclaimation of this bill shows that this Government is one filled with inadequate persons. Leave it to Ramesh to make me proud!

“You have a lot of other laws for the benefit of the country which have not been implemented and I’m not surprised they have not had any breathalyser legislation implemented. This is something that is urgent and will prevent deaths on the road, but the Government doesn’t seem to care. This is incompetence.”

I hope nobody brings up that time when we rejected Government’s proposal to not grant kidnappers bail.

Homesick

I do miss ripping the PNM a new one. Will be back soon!
Actually, I’d like to start with the President of the Police Second Division for knocking our crime plan. Keep your logic and common sense to yourself.
