By: Mike Rudon Jr. By this time my friends at the National Perspective will no doubt be squealing like stuck pigs over what they will perceive as an attack on them in last week’s paper. That’s fine. As far as I’m concerned, those two or three people who dedicate each ...

By: Mike Rudon Jr. Just a little over two years ago, right around the time of the P.U.P. leadership convention, I heard the term 100% P.U.P. That was the absolutely first time that I got the inkling that there were different degrees of PUP-ness, so to speak; that if a ...

By: Mike Rudon Jr. Mr. Barrow really does not give a damn what people think or what they say or how they feel about the things that he does. To those who don’t know him very well, his arrogance is simply astounding. He makes the most ludicrous decisions which cause ...

By: Mike Rudon Jr. I sat in the House of Representatives today and listened to the presentation of the budget by the Prime Minister of Belize Dean Oliver Barrow. I was not surprised by the flowery rhetoric, dramatic pauses and damn near poetic turn of phrase – after all, the ...
