The wild wild west

People are talking about the wild and explosive exchange between the prominent western journalist and the out-of-favour Generation one that had tongues wagging at JAPEX. We are told that the words exchanged would have had even sailors blushing!

Let the inmates run the mad house

The preposterous suggestion from the UWI Guild president that the guild should operate parallel to the UWI administration is tantamount to putting the inmates in charge of the asylum. What a preckeh!

Uncomfortable bedfellows

The hate-mailer and the fraudulent one are not doing well these days. Their evil deeds have backfired and one is blaming the other for going overboard. It’s the punishment which is coming from the North American courts that is causing the sleepless nights.

Go to the back of the class

The atmosphere in the first class cabin on American Airlines’ September 30 flight from Miami which landed in Kingston at 2:30 pm was freezing and it was not because the AC was turned up. Story is that Peter Phillips, Paul Robertson and Greg Christie were among the passengers and, wait for it, no words were exchanged!

Still gunning for the top cop?

We thought that was all behind us, but the whispers continue unabated that the administration wants to see the back of Commissioner Ellington. Really?

Judgement

The ‘chatty chatty’ lawyer who clashed with the judge is said to be playing a dangerous game and could find himself being cited for contempt of court.

Question of the week

Shouldn’t rapists get a similar sentence to murderers?
