Patrick's Plan

nospamplease@lyndersaydigital.com — 2010-05-31T20:27:35-04:00

The defeat of the People’s National Movement in the 2010 election is being debated feverishly, and no doubt will continue to be discussed in the context of the poor judgement of its political leader, Patrick Manning, but what if this is exactly what he hoped to achieve? ...The new Opposition Leader suddenly had remarkable credibility, earned for something she never actually had a chance to do, and it would come as no surprise that the other Opposition parties, sensing the blood in the water, joined up to be part of what would become a feeding frenzy on May 24. ...Respected, capable and regarded as a senior member of the party among the political toddlers that the Prime Minister had raddled his Cabinet with, Patrick Manning decided that at the outset of a short political campaign, it would be a good idea to snub a strong party loyalist who enjoyed real resonance with the public. ...In a campaign in which it was clear that Ministries, defined in the constitution as institutions of public service and not political instruments, had suddenly decided that May was a good time to report on their good works in lush, full colour advertisements, the Prime Minister instructed that the government time guaranteed under the licences granted to television broadcasters would be pressed into service to air not one, but two politically focused live broadcasts. ...Or was it the final act in an elaborate piece of choreography that began with the quick draw snatch of an election date from his back pocket and the sharp snap of a starter’s pistol that began a process that only had one conclusion in the former Prime Minister’s mind?

Absolute political punditry

nospamplease@lyndersaydigital.com — 2010-05-19T06:15:27-04:00

So here are my election predictions, based on nothing more than a casual remembrance of who these people are in public life, the general public perception of them and, frankly, what they look like in their photographs. ...This is really a test of my theory that the majority of people who show up in a polling station with no strong commitment to one party or another make their choices on nothing more than one or more of my own criteria for judgement. ...Barataria and San Juan should love Joseph Ross, except that he’s so utterly bland and when he’s not, so reflexively unlikable that Fuad Khan has a real shot at taking this one home. Both men sport likeable public smiles and Joseph Ross has been the public eye a lot as Minister of Tourism, except that may not actually turn out to be an asset if anyone remembers what he’s been saying. ...Garvin’s largely a political unknown, despite contesting an election or two in the past, but he has one unerring advantage in Diego Martin North/East and that’s not being Colm Imbert.

Kitch in Carnival

nospamplease@lyndersaydigital.com — 2010-02-16T07:50:52-04:00

Ten years after his sudden passing, it seems that there is much to lament today in the loss of the prodigious talent of Aldwyn Roberts, who wrote, sang and worked in his chosen profession for more than 60 years after getting his first break at a tamboo bamboo calypso tent in 1937. In an era in which the successful careers of most performers in the soca arena are measured in months and there is little interest in becoming the kind of well-rounded musician, arranger, promoter and extraordinary composer that Kitchener was, it’s worth remembering the sheer scope of the man’s legacy and the enormity of his contribution to the Carnival landscape. ...In the England years, between 1948 and 1963, Roberts worked his behind off, building his reputation and a small calypso empire fuelled by frequent performances, a nightclub and investments in properties even as he sent songs back to Trinidad and Tobago to let his fans know that he still had his sting. ...By then, the musical emphasis of Carnival on the road had changed and the impact of the steelbands for whom his music was so emphatically composed diminished in importance on the streets, replaced by brass bands and music trucks as portable generators finally became small enough to be practical on the road. ...He is father’s son, but he is also his own man, adapting his rhythmic talents to the fast moving world of modern soca and creating, among other songs, the JW & Blaze hit Palance, which musically riffs off a bridge formulated in the Brassorama competition to move from one song to another during the competition.

MATT statement on proposed Bagoo ban

nospamplease@lyndersaydigital.com — 2009-11-14T01:31:49-04:00

It was with shock and dismay that the media association learned of the recommendations of the Privileges Committee of the House of Representatives with regard to Mr Andre Bagoo of the Newsday newspaper. On finding Mr Bagoo guilty of an offence, the committee recommended not only that the newspaper publish an apology, but also that Mr Bagoo be banned from the media gallery of Parliament until the end of the session. ...Mr Bagoo had been accused by Information Minister Neil Parsanlal of committing a contempt of Parliament by publishing the proceedings of the Privileges Committee in another matter before those proceedings had been reported to the House. ...However, in previous cases involving breaches of privilege--including the case prematurely reported by Mr Bagoo, which involved Udecott--once the accused party apologises for the offence, he or she is almost invariably let off and no further action taken. ...In light of the recommendations in the case of Mr Bagoo, Matt notes with grave concern that a pattern may be emerging of attempted intimidation, by way of the Privileges Committee, of journalists whose reporting may have embarrassed or offended the Government.

Sitewide search now available

Finally implemented sitewide search tools on the pages with text, though it will search the whole site using Google's engine. Try it and let me know if it works for you. Tidied some of the commess I have going on in the two sidebars on this page, so hopefully it will load without timing out on those IE browsers behind corporate firewalls. I'd appreciate some feedback on that too.
