    Congrats to Kamla for becoming the first female Prime Minister. Now that the complimentary is outta the way. I hope she and her party could really deliver on what they promised and that she proves to be a solid, concerned, and capable leader cause I don't have much faith in her party (and same went for the PNM).

    Manning face win tho.

    And what is this about laptop for every child beginning SEA. Them know if all them chirren could use laptop?! or how to use it to do school work instead of solitare and porn.

    I wonder what the Ministry of the People will entail.

    I really hope they focus on the entire healthcare system, re-structuring government agencies (for service, quality, and timely delivery of work), and reducing crime.

    Patrick's face was really precious. Hubris anyone? I am proud that Trinidadians are sending a loud message to politicians and happy that the process was a peaceful one. My one regret was that Colm did not lose his seat too. Still I am not caught up in the euphoria. Kamla has a tough job ahead of her and it remains to be seen if she can really rise to the challenge. The mood surrounding this reminds me of the time that NAR won with their lofty one love campaign which never translated very well once they were in power....I reserve my euphoria. My celebration will begin if I really do see a change for the better.

      My sentiment exactly Wizzythestick, word for word. Brilliant.
      Coalition gov't is ROUGH, especially with a bunch of old heads/alpha males. Kamla made major history though and I'll give her that. God's speed to her.

    Every time I see Manning's expression I crack up and can't stop laughing! I have some videos to post later and one is his concession speech. Dude looked like he was hit over the head with a frying pan when reality set in.

    I congratulate our first female PM, but as I said to my friends, the honeymoon will soon be over and Trinis don't stick to turn heroes into villains.

    As she herself said yesterday (and I paraphrase), the same media now praising her will be the same media to attack her because that's their job....With that in mind I hope she never forgets her purpose and the people she has sworn to serve.
