The Court Of Appeal ruled that Senior Justice Anita Allen should step down from the case. Justice Allen maintained that she could objectively determine the distribution of profits from 1992 to 2000 of the brother's metal trading business when she decided to remain on the case. Justice Allen was also critical of the actions of Senior Justice John Lyons in his appointment...

There really is a culture of organized crime in The Bahamas, even if it isn't as organized as in other nations. (I mean, what in The Bahamas works efficiently? Nothing!) I was reading The Guardian (the real one, in England) and I came across an article by Roberto Mancini on the Italian mafia. Mancini quotes Piero Ostellino, the former editor and journalist of Il Corriere Della Sera, the most distinguished and conservative...

I can't ever remember owning a jacket but I went out and bought one because it is freezing here in Nassau. Well, by my standards anyways. :) I am sure many of my readers who are suffering the wrath of Winter in the U.S., Canada and other frigid places are ready to slap me upside the head for thinking that 61 degrees is cold. :twisted: But for me... it is. It's usually in the high 70's and 80's around here and I don't even own long sleeve shirts. The funny thing is; I went...

No one I know. Unfortunately, it wasn't much of a speech the new president gave. Obama got where he is by his dynamic speeches. But he would never have been elected if he had given this kind of lackluster speech during the campaign. It was his worst speech, and on his biggest stage thus far. I think Alex Spillius , a blogger for the UK Telegraph hit the nail on the head in his assessment: The delivery, as ever, was...

But if I hear someone refer to him as the first African-American president - again - I am going to scream... loud. Here's a shocker to all the idiots who want to make the whole Obama thing be about race... Barack Obama is NOT black. I know. I am black. My daddy was black, and his mother and father were black, and their mothers and fathers were black. My mummy was black. Her mother and father were black, and their mothers and fathers were...
