Karan Singh: Going....Going....GONE!!!

I don't delight in saying this but Karan Singh had to go. That man was totally unfit to head GWI, or anywhere else for that matter. Good riddance!!

What goes around comes around Karan, you wanted to be like God over there and unlike the auditor that you accuse, you were more the maniacal one going around threatening and terrorizing people at that entity.

Those guys at the donor agencies must be finally happy. The only now is that we replace this piece of waste with a competent, qualified individual to manage this entity and not another washed up party supporter. Another opportunity is here for Guyana to be put first, let us hope that it is not another opportunity squandered.

To be honest, I don't care what you did, I'm just glad that the board finally found the balls to kick you out.

Lil boy and gay man...

Now a few of you might have read a story appearing in Kaietuer News over the weekend about a 'missing' teenager who was found in Victoria, at the home of a gay man and his niece or some madness like that.
The police subsequently arrested the two adults but then released a statement saying that the kid wasn't being held against his will, that he was free to go and that the engaged in sexual activities with the man willingly, and finally buggery charges are likely to be laid soon.

People around the place have been calling and harping about this issue for a few days now, and honestly if not for Janet's death, this story along with Karan being fired would have been the talk of the town. I just want to say this.

The age of consent is 16, so legally the kid cannot give what is not his to have, although he might want to argue that it is his body after all. Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that the lil frigger went to the man home off his own, he fucked with the man off his own, he stayed there off his fucking own and he chose not to return to his home, off his own.

The people who want to talk about this, should understand that part and not look to crucify the blasted antiman. Yes, it was wrong for him to have sex with an underage kid, no question about that, but at the same fucking time, people need to stop behaving as if this lil frigger is some angel because he clearly isn't. He had run off to Surinam also and I'm sure he would have needed permission for that as well.

And now, unfortunately buggery is still a crime so they are going to face music for that, however, abduction charges? gimme a fucking break. The kid was going and coming as he pleased, that isn't abduction, he obviously wanted to go back. Whatever he was getting there was good enough to keep him coming back. Now then, probably the only charge that should be instituted was that of statutory rape, because at the end of the day, he still is just 15!

What people need to realize is that these teenagers aren't so innocent as we would like tothink, many of them are quite capable of making their own decisions and they do, even though sometimes they are not aware of all the consequences of their actions. However as adults we also have a responsibility to these kids. What the man did with this kid was wrong, even if the kid wanted it, it was wrong. My argument though will be and this is my belief, that the man alone should not be cast as the villan in this story...he isn't!

The biggest joke of the year

I know, in a time of mourning, we're not supposed to be laughing but seriously, how the heck can a person not laugh at that ridiculous amount of money given to single parents to assist with day care expenses.

W
hat a joke, what a big fucking joke. This particular minister I'm sure pays much more than this daily for lunch. $1000 monthly for single parents means nothing, it is worth nothing.This is beyond insulting and embarrassing from the Jagdeo regime.

It shows just how detached the ruling class is from the working class that they actually think that this pittance is anywhere near something meaningful.
And it gets better too, the parent must have two kids in day care and be working for less than #30, 0o0 monthly. Now isn't that just the biggest bundle of nonsense you've heard in a while?

Day care costs $4000 per kid (according to the Government's calculation),that's $8000 just gone there...whoosh! 22 grand left and there is still NIS, VAT, RENT, GPL to be paid also, not to mention food...whoppi, that thousand sure does help a lot.

This government is so thoughtful, sympathetic and caring eh? Thank you Good Lord, I don't depend on the state for any financial assistance or I really would be in a bad state.

Farewell to Fmr President, Janet Jagan.

Now the last time I wrote about good ole Janet, I seemed to imply that the end was near for the Grand dame of Guyanese politics. I must let it be known, that unlike some people with monies invested in CLICO, I was not in possession of inside information.

On a serious note now. There will be a lot of ramblings going on about Janet in all corners of the country for the new few days but regardless of one ideologies, that should not distract from the fact that Mrs Jagan was a monumental figure, who has cemented her place in Guyanese History. It is up for scholars to debate whether her mark was a positive one or not. She has left much behind to make that assessment an easy one.

Her family and her party has big void at the moment, one that will never be filled but Guyana will also be left with an even bigger void. Mrs. Jagan died taking with her too many secrets about this land of ours. That should not have been, she owed it to the Guyanese people to provide a truthful account of history as she lived it. One thing is certain however, Mrs. Jagan for all that she was and what she wasn't would never have approved of the direction that the PPP has taken, and it is well known that she was personally in opposition to some policies coming out of the OP.

Anyways, now ain't the time for this, let us join most of the country in mourning our former President. Sincerest of condolence are offered to her family and her party, it is indeed a terrible loss. May Her Soul Rest In Peace.

Janet, aka Slipper Granny, Passes Away

Former President of Guyana, Mrs Janet Jagan, has passed away. May her soul rest in peace. She and Cheddi are probably looking down on Guyana and talking about how Bharrat has messed us up.

It's weird though ... Bitch Please! posted THIS article a month ago. It's as if the event in thought was casting its shadow. Hmm, I wonder ...

Am sure Janet's memory won't soon be forgotten ... NCN would never allow that.

New Thriving Main St. Launches

So last night was the grand opening for the New Thriving Chinese Restaurant. A so-called red carpet affair that supposedly had invitees such as government officials, business execs. and who's-whos of the Guyanese community.
I must say that the Chinese went all out with this affair. From piled-high buffet tables of food and an open bar with all the booze you can drink to Chinese usher girls brandishing warm and inviting smiles, the evening was rather nice. I was lucky to be invited by a friend who was told to bring a friend.
Highlights of the night -
- All-you-can-eat Chinese buffet menu
- All-you-can-drink booze and drinks
- The cultural shows (including tassa drumming, steel pan, chinese lion dance and a few others)

Lowlights of the night -
- The slippery tiles on the balcony (Fuck, the Chinese can be so friggin cheap at times. The least they could've done is get some non-skid tiles.) People were falling left right and centre.
- Horribly dressed people wearing everything from their mother's bra to some old horse hair they dug up outta their 'grip'
- And of course - ugly, need-to-get-to-a-dentist, old chinese men wearing the cheapest of clothing and stooping in some corner smoking a Bristol

Apart from this, the evening went well. People should at least visit this place once, if not for the food, then just to check out the place. It's a really wonderful building.

Kaieteur News is asking a question...

So this is a fairly simple question that Kaieteur News is asking however the answer is even simpler.

NO ONE!!!

We are never going to get anywhere, if these situations are allowed to continue. The driver of this vehicle that caused this light to damage should face the consequences. Pay for it or go to jail, simple as that. For too long, too many persons have gotten away with this and others but now the authorities need to put a stop to this nonsense.

At the end of the day, this is public property and if damaged, the state must be compensated for such. Can you imagine destroying something for the American Government and trying to get away with it? No, No it doesn't happen there...it shouldn't happen here either.

What's is some people's problem with Nicky's

While scouring the Stabroek News website, I came across another letter complaining about the noise that comes from Nicky's Fish Shop in Campbellville and I had to ask myself, What the Fuck is some people's problem? Do they have an issue with people trying to make a living?

Several Friday or Saturday nights myself along with I. Gots. Class, Vice or Virtues and a few other friends can be found at the fish shop and I have to say, apart from the fish and service being quite good, the place is a fabulous place to hang out.

Since its inception, this business has faced complaints and criticisms from those in the area and regardless of the amount of changes and progress that they make, it would appear as though some people just want them to pack up and leave. There is growing resentment towards the elderly woman who owns the property (not the business) from her 'neighbors'.

Initially I would concede that Nicky's played a lot of loud music on a lot of nights but after issues were made of it, steps were taken. Karaoke night (my personal favorite) was toned down a lot, the renting of a stereo system every weekend was discontinued and the music itself was played at a lower decibel, yet those wretches were complaining. The question must then be asked, is there a vandetta against Nicky's? Even the gas retailer immediately next to this entity refuses to sell the people gas (well apparently that ass for a softball cricketer has a problem with black people).

I am not saying that Nicky's is free to do as they want, but come on people be realistic. It is a business and for that type of business, music is important. It is not as if they are playing it loudly every night. In fact, loud music there wasn't present for a while but it was just recently that there was a Guiness promotion that is now drawing all these complaints.

Some people should just shut the hell up, drink a Advil PM and go sleep, and if they don't want to take the pill I'll tell them this, If they really wanted to sleep, they would find their asses in bed and sleep! I have a damn neighbor that plays music late at night, but I don't let that bastard bother me, when is time to sleep...I sleep. You people should try that sometime...it actually works!

Halo...No not the Beyonce Song.



I'm sure many of you would have noticed this, and of course those never-see people would have rushed to the phones to spread the news, just like they would with the sweetest of gossip.
This spectacular occurrence was a joy to behold. I know though that a few people in our mist was a little bit scared and worried. Probably thought the world was coming to an end or something and they'd have to start accounting for their sins, especially those politicians.

Karan Sent on Leave...Let's hope he doesn't return

Hmmmmmm has Mr. Singh been stealing water? If not water, then what could have caused him to be sent on leave?

This man has completely mismanaged GWI...twice. The stories of his work ethics or lack thereof would shock you. The amount of workers that he fired or forced to resign is staggering. Can you imagine some workers allegedly had to feed this goat crackers.

One can only hope that him being sent on leave now is a prelude to him being sent away permanently. One thing is sure, the people at the donor agencies would just be bursting with cum in their pants if they never have to see Karan again.

Notch up another accolade for Chanderpaul.


From the Guyana Times:

New Garden Street is now Shiv Chanderpaul Drive

As Guyana continues to celebrate our world- class cricketer Shivnarine Chanderpaul, the son of the soil will have a street being named after him.

On Thursday, Wayne wright Orderson, Director of Information Technology at City Hall, made the announcement that starting Saturday, the stretch of road between Church Street and South Road presently called New Garden Street will be renamed as Shiv Chanderpaul’s Drive.

This initiative of Mayor Hamilton Green will be undertaken with the blessings of the council and President Bharrat Jagdeo.

Last year, Almond Street was renamed as Lance Gibbs Street while there is also a Clive Lloyd Drive in Georgetown.

Chanderpaul was named ICC Player of the Year while the West Indies Cricket Players Association named him Cricketer of the Year.

He has also held our coveted title of Sportsman of the Year for the past five consecutive years.

Another special honor for this very special man. If anyone has any doubts just special of a cricketer Shiv is, then that magnificent over yesterday should have erased them all. The usual

Congrats Shiv, all these awards and accolades are truly well deserved. You have done exceptionally well to make an entire nation proud. A nation now tries to show its gratitude.




Some things in this land is just plain ole wrong

Some things are simply amazing, like Chanderpaul smashing 26 off Harmison at the Stadium yesterday. Other times, some things are just simply mind boggling and ridiculous.

I must confess that in the area of law, I know nothing but I have a sense of ethics and morality and as such I was shocked, confused, dazed and appalled when I read that Justice Patterson, sentenced two men for 8 years in prison and another man received three years probation for the killing of another man.

This just seems like a blatant miscarriage of justice. Taking a life is just that, taking a life and these men did that and they should be punished accordingly, remember justice must not only be done, it must also appear to be done and really in this instance, it would appear as though ‘justice’ is on a vacation. I am not advocating for the state to take theirs but can this honorable judge really believe that 8 years is an adequate punishment for this crime? These men tied up a man and beat him to death for heaven’s sake and in 8 years they will walk away free men, able to continue their lives. For whatever life the deceased lived, whatever wrongs he did, he was not supposed to be killed

True, this was manslaughter and not murder but another question must be asked. Why does the DPP accept so many manslaughter pleas? Are there not competent lawyers there that can prosecute a murder charge? Or is the police not capable of doing proper investigations to facilitate a murder trial.

And then to add insult to serious injuries, the third accused was given three years probation for being involved in this crime. Are you freaking kidding me judge? Three years probation? Nonsense of the highest value! Many men have gone to jail for less! Some people, mostly young adults would receive five years probation for stealing (simple larceny) and here we have a HIGH COURT judge giving three years for being an accessory to murder/manslaughter. How wrong is that?

For too long, too many persons have been getting off lightly from the courts. Too many murder accused plead guilty to the lesser count of manslaughter and this is a practice that needs to be attended to. Serious questions must be asked of the DPP chambers

Does Guyana have a sentencing policy in effect for the judiciary? If we don’t then the judges clearly aren’t using it. If we don’t then it is about God Damn Freaking Time that we got one.

What Bharrat has asking and denying lately....he has nerve

Let us examine two statements coming from the President recently.

Firstly in the Guyana Times, he is quoted saying, "Source of Clarke information
will never be revealed – Jagdeo"

And on the same day, in the Guyana Chronicle "
U.S. should share Roger Khan evidence with Guyana -- -- President urges"

Is this not blatant double standards and hypocrisy from the Guyanese leader? He is asking the US Government to share their information with him, yet he refuses to share. Imagine the audacity of this man, he sure does have nerve if not balls. Imagine growing up with him. He appears as though he was one of those 'hungish', glutton, stingy kids who always want but never want to give.

Cricket without rain...not in Guyana

The rain has arrived and interupted the cricket. Now really, who is surprised at this? It wouldn't be cricket in Guyana without some rain.
Let's hope the rain doesn't stay too long.

On another note though, why are members of the West Indies team wearing white tape over the Digicel logo on their uniforms?
We'll wait and see
