APNU Presidential candidate David Granger has jumped out of his crease and swung his bat and connected with a thick outside edge.

“Prayer works,” quipped an East Coast pastor the other day. “It works, my children!

Moses has upped and left the PPP! After fifty years of service to the party he has rejoined forces with his brother, Khemraj Ramjattan in the AFC.

Khemraj Ramjattan has given President Bharrat Jagdeo further incentive to continue, in his own unique style, to campaign hard to put the PPP/C back in power.

Having waited an eternity – and, frankly, we are still waiting – for Donald Ramotar to step out from behind Mr.

We crunch the numbers during every elections season. Crunching numbers is important.

The patter of feet crossing the political floor has reached the decibel level of a stampede.

What on earth were you thinking, Mr. Mingo? Where is your political savvy, man?

It appears that the choice of Dr. Roger Luncheon as the star witness in the legal matter of His Excellency the President and Freddie Kissoon – the King Kong case, as it has come to be known – may not have been a wise one after all.

The New York Post is a wicked newspaper! Deh paint Ed Ahmad like if de man is a clone of Allen Stanford.

The word on the street is that APNU throw out de Brigadier idea ‘bout a female running mate.

The President’s guards – eight of them we are told – took leave of absence from watching His Excellency’s back to run wid a lil hustle pon de side.
