ACADEMICS AND RUSHED DEADLINES

Is this The Light Side?
I am rushing to meet a deadline for this blog.

Lest, God forbid, I make an error, let me acknowledge that a Victor Jardine wrote this letter to “The Bomb”.

He was writing about one of the major occurrences during the recently heavily locked down “Summit of the Americas.”

Out of an abundance of caution let me advise the CIA, British Intelligence, the Trinidad anti-terrorist squad and those know who do not know, “The Bomb” is not a weapon of mass destruction or a terrorist organization. It is a mere Trinidad & Tobago weekly newspaper. The letter was published on page 14 of the May 6, 2009 edition.

“An open letter to acting Police Commissioner James Philbert.
Sir, you should recommend that our Prime Minister issue medals of distinguished merit to the entire squad of valiant officers who, at risk of their lives, defended innocent citizens.
The hordes of citizens, who assembled in the St. James Amphitheatre with drums poised to unleash terror and destroy the eardrums of innocent citizens, were stopped in their tracks.
Plans were halted. These brave officers at risk to their own lives, forced then to unplug their deadly speaker boxes!”

Well done Mr. Jardine. You are a true patriotic Trini. I hope that the Prime Minister reads and acts upon your fine recommendation.

The Bright Side
Our President continues to enjoy a fantastic vacation away from all the noise, haste, bother and controversy here in Trinidad & Tobago.

To paraphrase the words of Fagin, in the musical “Oliver”:
Cheerio and be back soon”
Max, the country is in trouble
Good to know that you that you are rested
And growing to full bloom
But Hurry home and get back soon.
