A former 902 negotiator was asked why can’t he tell it like it is to the US contingent once headed by former OIA director, Estella Guera.<\/p>\n
Said he: “She’s very pretty `nai and I cannot tell her my honest views except to shake my head in approval even when I disagree”.<\/p>\n
Gee, sir, so beauty comes in the way of separating people from issues, huh? I’ve only seen this incident in spy movies, yeah? But then who wouldn’t be knocked of his feet by a pretty former OIA gal, right? Pindeho!<\/p>\n

Doing business in these isles is very costly. Utility rates are high, assorted fees are high, basic commodities are high, even interest rates are prohibitively very high. No wonder the drug culture has strengthened in order to enable those who fell throught he cracks to stay level-high with everything else around them.<\/p>\n
Nothing makes sense in what we call paradise. It has gradually turned into the hellish hole for our young people. Very few have any real plans to return home after college. Many will remain on Guam, Hawaii and the US mainland. Must review and formulate a comprehensive scholarship program beyond conventional approach, yeah?<\/p>\n

Many people would eventually have to deal with pain and suffering from long-term illnesses. This condition would force a good portion of this group to try anything to ease their pain, including herbal medicine.<\/p>\n
I can understand why the urge to quell such illnesses as chronic gout, hives, chronic arthritis, even dizziness from high blood pressure. But before you leap into herbal medicine, please make sure that it is scientifically proven as effective and free of deadly side effects.<\/p>\n
You can check out which ones are scientifically proven as safe for consumption via the internet. Tons of information is available on this issue.<\/p>\n

Morality should seriously be placed as one of the test for all gubernatorial candidates. The only problem is: most would be scurrying for cover, yeah?<\/p>\n
So far, the most stunning statement came from our mini version of Monica Lewinsky who said: “Ai, she’s my Romeo!” Another related: “Had to boot him. He can’t keep his zippers locked”.<\/p>\n
I have a feeling most would employ the famous Clintonesque statement: “I never had sex with that woman!”<\/p>\n

It’s comically interesting how politcians treat voters as zombies or robots as though we do know NOT what they DIDN’T do. Their appeal for re-election is as perennial as the grass. They do their dog and pony show and lamely ask: “Please for vote me!” I was like “Again?” Come to think of it, perhaps many of these shameless ill-equipped policymakers must have undergone midnight frontal lobotomy convinced we know NOT, yeah?<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/p>\n
A legislator asked for an explanation of the concept of Wealth and Jobs Creation. I sized him up and concluded that even with the simplest explanation, he’ll never comprehend what it’s all about. So I had to tell him it’s an “ecclesiastical joint” for trucks the manufacturer no longer makes since two decades ago.<\/p>\n
He left professing to require, again, by statute, that all auto dealers force manufacturers to provide parts for at least two decades. Gee, I wonder if experience hasn’t sunk in on the lifespan of automobiles in salty environment such as the CNMI. The guy would probably be awarded the well-earned trophy of ignoramus. Imagine a statute for statutes? Eh, this is an island, right?<\/p>\n
