CCGI Fight Night

Montego Bay's hot and stylish were out in full force at the Caribbean Classic Golf International Muay Thai Fight Night at the Aqueduct at Rose Hall in Montego Bay on Friday.

Honouring a legend

It took just three days for Debra Lee, chairman and chief executive officer of BET Networks, to switch gears and transform the 9th annual BET awards into a tribute to the life of the late American musical icon, Michael Jackson, on Sunday in Los Angeles, California.

Support for the airline?

1. Some observers are questioning the commitment to Air Jamaica's survival if the government does not lead by example. Specifically, they say government should be placing all its business with the national carrier to ensure that its money goes into the right coffers.

Pork barrel

2. There is clear evidence that the pork barrel politics has merely been transferred to another tribe. Take the award of contracts - if its construction, security, procurement, guess who heads the list?

Chatter, chatter!

3. The athlete needs to be taught the parable about the fool and his money. Friends who dare not criticise him to his face are chatting about his penchant for luxury vehicles which they say amount to a dozen, since they do not appreciate in value what's the point?

Sweetheart and wife

4. He is an oldster who believes that his wife and sweetheart should be friends. Colleagues say they admire the way he has them so disciplined that both women can be very civil to each other and care nothing about being out socially.
