Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:15:06 GMT http://www.bahamascommunity.com/blog/?permalink=1015 http://www.bahamascommunity.com/blog/?permalink=1015 Freddy Mitchell's Bahamas Uncensored website tells us that good grammar in public speaking has gone out of the window. "Listening at the House of Assembly or even to public officials, permanent secretaries and the like, even in the Ministry of Education, we can’t seem to get the number or the subject to agree with the verb or get our past tenses in place." The site reports that Nicolette Bethel, the Director of Culture and a social anthropologist by training, blames this grammatical...

Yeah, right! As long as you live in a gated community and your Haitian maid does your grocery shopping. I can almost guarantee that the bozos who came up with the results of this survey have never visited Nassau, at least not in the last five years. The Bahamas has the highest per capita rape rates in the world, a murder rate three times higher than Canada, and...

The department was once headed by Bell, who blasted the judicial system after abruptly resigning a week or so ago, following many years on the force. Well, apparently, a major shake-up is underway following an investigation into corruption in the prosecutions department. The Bahamas Press blog says they have confirmed...

Yet, another Bahamian politician wants to censor the media. One would expect an attempt at censorship by the PLP , but this is coming from an FNM, and the Minister of National Security, no less. Tommy Turnquest, who was resoundly rejected by voters in his vain attempt to lead the country in 2000, has cautioned the Bahamas media against reporting on...

He noticed, while reading a local newspaper, that the Bahamas police have a policy where, upon finding drugs in a home, the police will arrest all residents of the house. Why then, upon discovering prostitutes in a West Bay Street hotel , is the owner of the establishment not arrested, or at least questioned? Who owns the hotel on West Bay Street that is being used as a brothel? Why is that...
