– My dear Mayor Green – Let’s text for Young Bill Greetings to my layman, man-in-the-street, fellow citizens especially.
-The Wealth of the Wicked There are just hours before Christmas 2012-2013 formally ends.
I noticed that I used the same theme and style, as in today’s lead caption, a few years ago.
Soon. Soon it’ll be twenty years since I’ve been permitted to share my man-in-the-street, working-class, biased views through this medium.
“You need to do some tests” Again this week I avoid – and leave to the many others – those current “national issues of (sordid) significance”.
The Tax-Payer Electorate: No Right To know? Greetings! Let’s see whether I can make this the most brief in weeks.
Shades of A “Bad John” Government? The lead component of today’s written conversation here is actually not mine.
“Shubh Diwali, Happy Mashramani” Not having attended Secondary School, much more the local University, my unlettered, uncertified “inferiority complex” intrudes whenever I make bold to comment on things related to our highest tertiary institution, the University of Guyana (UG).
