That’s it. Vice President Nominee Sarah Palin has bridged the Bering Strait and the Russians are in love. Watch as Vlad and Boris sing their hearts out to “Misses Palin” and even incorporate some Jamaican “butterfly” moves into their homage to their Alaskan neighbour. It’s hilarious. “Mrs. Palin, I want to fly into your airspace, [...]
Only one thing provokes more outrage in me than Jamaica’s runaway murder rate, and it’s the pathetic hand-wringing and pseudo self-examination that usually follows a murder rampage of epic proportions. Over the past three weeks, the pressure has been unrelenting. Report after report of fresh kills have bombarded the public, pushing the envelope past criminality [...]
US Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin could do with a boost of encouragement amid all the ridicule directed at her intelligence, or supposed lack of it, even by some of her own GOP members. Long before her face-off with Democratic opponent Joe Biden, Palin had endured the public’s dark humor with the perennial perkiness that [...]
The small community of Cyprus Hall in the parish of St. Mary, Jamaica was the scene of untold anguish late Sunday morning, when what is believed to have been the body of little Ananda “Passion” Dean was recovered in a mutilated condition, from a ledge over a precipice miles from her home. The 11 year-old had been [...]
A curious silence has descended on the issue of the disappearance of the Coral Spring sand. Since the fire-breathing Minister Samuda belched out threats against the guilty parties before the investigations were launched, there has been an uncomfortable absence of any responses to the questions a concerned public continues to ask. Like the Trafigura affair [...]

It has come to us that for the first time in the history of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, a Superintendent of Police has been detained on charges of corruption. Supt. Harry “Bungles” Daley of the St. Catherine North Police Division, is still under heavy police guard following his arrest last Thursday in what was termed [...]
Bulldozer tracks in the sands. No rain, wind or tide had yet disturbed the crime scene. There is a fetid odor arising from what’s left of the sands of the horribly mangled Coral Spring Beach in Trelawny, Jamaica, and it’s not just piscean, this odor, but the stink of rattus norvegicus. We can smell the [...]
There seems to be no end to the confusion caused by the vacillation of Jamaica’s current administration in their dogged attempt to curb lawlessness. The latest observation is Security Minister MacMillan and his granting of a permit for Sumfest shows to run as usual: all night long. It is disappointing that yet again, our officials are so myopic that they [...]
