Political leaders
Coming clean. What does it mean?
I’m moved to comment after reading how the beloved PM of Dongkey Rock came clean and stated before a public gathering in Fyzabad that, “I made mistakes. And I still make mistakes, my dear friends. But I am a human being…” (TT Express 2010-05-13)
No Consolation Prize
Manning had declared that general elections will be held in 2010. I am skeptical and wary because he is not to be trusted, but clasp my hands and give quiet thanks for what must be divine intervention.
I don't want to get my hopes up. I think it is a not-so-clever strategy to divert attention from the Udecott and Calder Hart corruption crisis. The government has been buckling beneath the weight of public opinion and pressure.

If, as Opposition-for-life Leader Basdeo Panday claims, Kamla is “not ready to lead,” then who is? By implication, it would appear that only he is. If so, what do we make of his numerous public statements that he understands that some of the corruption mud the PNM has flung has stuck, and it is time for a new leader to emerge?
