Let\u2019s slide into bland, if not comedy material, we\u2019ve seen and heard in recent past. Some are serious but so royally mishandled it\u2019s ridiculously comical. Occasionally it\u2019s good to slip into humor just to ease our troubled minds. Here goes:<\/p>\n
A dysfunctional Legislature ignores its own inadequacies, lecturing CHC it must work together\u2014board and CEO. Legislators conveniently ignored that initial failure started at its door when it simply denied funding for the hospital for several years now. What gall lecturing when the greater failure is on its side! Einstein said two things he can\u2019t stand, the universe and stupidity! Which side are you on leyisleche?<\/p>\n

China has begun cracking down on the huge production of crystal meth, according to a story in the SCMP. This move should bring its \u201cloose\u201d pharmaceutical industry under its radar screen to slam global production of the lethal substance. This, plus purging corruption on gambling, ought to do the global community good moving forward.<\/p>\n

Legislators and the administration aren\u2019t on the same page on the issue of divert airport. The legislators are still trying to come to terms with what it should do while the administration has begun talking to top guns from the Department of Defense. A good example where the left hand doesn\u2019t necessarily know what the right hand is doing.<\/p>\n

CUC ought to know that the hospital and schools aren\u2019t out to make a profit. One teaches our children, the other works the clock to heal our people. Therefore both entities must be given the \u201cpreferred rate\u201d over others. I suppose CUC\u2019s CEO needs even a used anchor to come to terms with this issue.<\/p>\n

Pharmaceuticals demonized use of coconut until a study confirmed otherwise. I mean, how do you disparage a part of our daily diet that has kept us healthy for thousands of years?<\/p>\n
Then came \u201cno more red meat.\u201d Now health experts say carbohydrates is the culprit in the formation of fat that is lodged in our arteries. So more red meat is in order? Eh, moderation is the answer!<\/p>\n

Magoo has gone to his friend and loaned money one too many times. His friend got tired and recently refused him outright. Said Magoo, \u201cThen how can I pay you if you don\u2019t loan me some more?\u201d None wanted to get into discussing principal and principle owed! Ooops!<\/p>\n

The NMI has seen an historic number of shipwrecked passengers struggling in the Sea of Bankruptcy. Most are now suffering for hypoxia but would slug it out until they no longer could see daylight. What a way to sail into the sunset.<\/p>\n

The SCC is looking for used anchor to donate to Rep. Roman Benavente to prevent the price of basic goods from skyrocketing. A member of the Chamber said the help should give the representative some time to figure out the beast as a policymaker.<\/p>\n

A grammar school kid and friends were walking home after school. Would you believe they are talking about the bad economy? Perhaps we ought to bring a busload of them to Capital Hill for a day\u2019s excursion at the lawn between the administration and the Legislature.<\/p>\n

Three billionaires paid for the billion-dollar casino or City of Dreams in Manila. Ours would be financed via the sale of stocks by BSI\u2019s parent company in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Sale of stock is riddled with the unknown or what tomorrow may bring. Pro-casino legislators should be grilled for their thorough review of the issue.<\/p>\n

Some public officials are advocating raising the price of local produce\u2014fish and veggies\u2014to the level of Honolulu. Ever considered improving the disposable income of employees from both sectors before jumping from the kettle into the frying pan? Stagnancy of wages and salaries has been around for over a decade now. See if this could be resolved first and foremost.<\/p>\n

My friend goes to confession everyday. That it seems habitual, the priest bought himself and iPod equipped with headphone. He puts it on while my friend confesses. He moves his head to and fro following the beat. The head movement had my friend convinced he\u2019s got the full attention of the priest. A`saina!<\/p>\n
\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n
Some have braved calling Cabinet level appointments non-political. Ooops! I see that Obama\u2019s semantic somersault on the term \u201cterrorism\u201d has descended into the islands. \u201cPolitical\u201d is a singular word, not trilateral. Check your dictionary or thesaurus and pay close attention to the definiens\u2014word that defines the term\u2014to secure clarity. Braving loose spouts isn\u2019t doing the issue any justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
