A. A. Fenty

One week into a “Happy”(?) New Year? It has to be one major historical misfortune of this country’s political existence.

On civil defiance and lawlessness I’ve decided that this contribution will be one of the shorter man-in-the-street columns that this Friday feature represents.

Why death heralds his Birth I’ll voluntarily plead guilty to my personal post-seventy cynicism, with creeping indifference, regarding this still-somewhat-endearing “season” of Christmas.

Welcome back Atlantic Symphony Joe was naughty! Belligerent! Pugnacious! Even vicious in his repudiations, assertions and rejections.

– Those Palm Tree Philistines I was not that surprised that the Culture Minister’s remarks about “black role-models” for Afro-Guyanese youth would generate robust responses.

A woman’s beauty – enhanced? Fake!? Today I wish to present a very personal view on a specific police-related national issue which, when shared a few paragraphs later, could easily attract “provocation” or robust dissent among some well-meaning readers and citizens.

“Try to avoid downtown Georgetown, Ole Folks” This opening sentence promises that today’s offering will be brief.

Why the Brigadier is aggrieved… When actual polling ended on that Monday evening in March last year Elections Commission Chair, former Judge Singh, declared the 2020 electoral enterprise a pleasing and resounding success.

“Lovely cricket”, nationalism and pride Fully accepting that our own Guyana needs to sustain a functioning democracy I must accommodate, even appreciate a political and parliamentary opposition.

Contest and challenges: PNC, Allan and JosephHello friends, this I promise: at my age and stage I’ll make this my final, brief, regretful “lamentation” on this issue.

The Bishop Minister, The contractors, The Roads The late great Hubert Nathaniel Critchlow once declared that “politics follows us all from the cradle to the grave”.

“Troubles”? Two Davids, one Moses I’m plunging into the risk of being mainly political today.

City vending as survival – and blight Recall – those friends still interested – that the first CARICOM Guyana 2020 votes recount was aborted.

Multi-billionaire Fenty’s Guyana – Upgrade After leaving the devastating Pandemic to other commentators for weeks, specific recall and current events seemingly compel me to offer personal comment once again.

The glorious vocations of non-political teaching Deliberately brief comments again today.

Georgetown seems doomed counsel Redundant • Repetition • Unnecessary • Superfluous • Really not needed • These were the words reflecting my own honest belief and conclusion that it was/is not at all necessary for me to join the raging debate about the SARS-Cov 2 corona (family) disease spawned by the first virus and now, its variants.

The justice that terrorists love I suppose it’s somewhat natural that those of us past seventy, eighty will frequently recall the days of our youth.

MS Ferguson-Again; locked out, shut down Since the May 26, 1966 declaration of “independence” successive governments, determined to woo foreign investors, seemingly liked the popular usage “Guyana is open for business.”

Pity, sad that I’ll never live to SEE… Way in the days of yore – my bygone past – former PNC Minister Annette Ferguson is the type of lady – physically – I just loved.

Sars Cov-2: Responding to all variants This, of course, is my own simplified sequence of modern-day intervention – both “subliminal” and openly direct – by the United States of America (USA) into our local colonial and post-colonial politics.
