Cayman's Election etc.

Yeah. Its the Sunday after the PPM's crash and burn in the 2009 Cayman Islands Elections. The supporters of the UDP are euphoric, and I do not blame them.

In 2005 when we trounced them, so were we. But unlike them we did not a) hand out cards at a polling station with out candidates names on it with X's next to the names b) run candidates that were constitutionally barred from being elected c) fail to disavow ourselves from the misconduct referred to in a).

Neither did we appoint a Deputy Leader of Government Business, when there is no such animal in the Constitution. They did it in 2003 and now they're doing it again. I wonder if their supporters are aware of this?

But, I congratulate the UDP, and understand that it is their time. I respect the democratic process, to the extent that it was not perverted by any interference or corruption.

I give credit to the UDP for attracting the first time voters. They did so effectively.

But, the PPM will rise again, stronger than ever. 4 of our 5 former ministers won their seats, and 1 of our 5 backbencher won his (Moses).

Out of the 5, 3 were first elected.


PPM will rise again.

Bloody Dawn

Yes, folks, having supported my political folks as an executive committee member and supporter in what was a bruising, hard fought campaign, we were defeated at the polls yesterday in emphatic fashion.

So today I feel bruised and battered, but not down and out.

Well, just for the heck of it, I uploaded 2 old photos of my sons. Yeah. By next week I will be normal, ok. Yeah.

First Post for 2009

Thanks to Ms. Cute Pants, for her continued posts, and her latest post about her snorkelling. She is a good ambassador for the Cayman Islands. (Again, I have re-learn the whole link thing).

Despite that Facebook had distracted me away from bloggage, she still manages to keep me on her blogroll. She is too kind. Thanks CP!

Its quite a difference moving between Facebook and Blogger, since Facebook is so brainless - a status update can be just one word. I admire the bloggers who constantly seek out new bloggage material. They are true bloggionistas.

I will change the profile a bit and think of a real post.

Well done to the West Indies for a decent showing in the recent tour by England. Not easy to deal with England's batting and bowling lineup, so I think credit is due to both teams, and in my case I will give special big ups to the West Indies. Rally!
