Wanted: lips for a good head <DIV class=KonaBody Q4HiA="true">
<B AQrj1="0" PDp0l="0">You know our [/B]<B AQrj1="0" PDp0l="0">dear Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller needs to do some serious consultation before she responds to stuff she reads in the paper or anything that is critical of her actions for that matter.[/B] <P AQrj1="0" PDp0l="4">When I read the <B AQrj1="0" PDp0l="0">Gleaner [/B]story about how Portia and her delegations have spent 10 million dollars on overseas trips, I thought the <B AQrj1="0" PDp0l="0">Gleaner [/B]was reaching a bit with that story. A head of state spending 10 million Jamaican dollars on overseas trips is kind of like saying I bought a Porsche 911s Turbo for US$30,000, it's a non-issue. In fact, if anything it's a steal. <P AQrj1="0" PDp0l="0">We seem to forget that 10 million Jamaican dollars is like what, US$148,000? What can she really do with that except get room and board? You know if she had gone clubbing or had handsome, heavily muscled men giving her <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">massages</SPAN>, we would have all heard by now. <P AQrj1="0" PDp0l="0">Jamaican money is almost like monopoly money these days, and that kind of spending over a nine or 10-month period, for a head of state representing the country, is really a bargain. There are people who will argue otherwise, but in the grand scheme of things it really aint worth writing a story over. But that's just me.

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Had she engaged her brain before she chose to respond she would have perhaps argued the way I did at the top of this piece or suggested that the things that she had accomplished abroad for which the country had spent 10 million dollars, was going to be worth 100 times that in terms of <A class=kLink oncontextmenu="return false;" id=KonaLink2 onmouseover=adlinkMouseOver(event,this,2); style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick=adlinkMouseClick(event,this,2); onmouseout=adlinkMouseOut(event,this,2); href="http://jamaica-star.com/thestar/20070202/cleisure/cleisure1
