Why… husbands?

Our opposition politicians – being Guyanese – have clearly gone into Christmas mode and started sampling their Black Cake to ensure it has been aged with the requisite amount of white rum!! What else could have prompted Sanction Man – who describes himself as the “Presumptive LOO”!! – to remind the Caricom Secretary General she’s not ensuring that Speaker Mansur Nadir returns from foreign and ensuring his instalment!! In his letter to the SG, he reminded the good lady that Guyana – for which he speaks!! – “has hosted the CARICOM Secretariat and given you a place to call home for now nearly five years”!!
Obviously on a “high” from imbibing too much of his well-preserved Black Cake, Sanction Man neglected to identify the source of the SG’s authority to comply with his bidding!! He clearly either doesn’t know that the SG can only implement decisions of the Caricom Heads of Government (Caricom HOGS) and can’t even lift a finger on her own – or he just wants to keep stamping his feet as all rich kids are wont to do when they don’t get their own way!!!!
So in lieu of political commentary, in this Christmas he passes on this compilation of things husbands are good for – even in this age of overthrowing the patriarchy!! They come in handy in
“Explaining things that are far too complicated for women to understand: An essential service provided by all husbands; Ordering a dessert when you say you’re not hungry and letting you eat most of it: He knew you wanted it even though you said you didn’t.
“Ruthlessly but expertly executing any spiders that dare to frighten you: He’s a cold-blooded killing machine. As long as the spider doesn’t get on him; Serving as an in-bed warmer for your ice-cold toes. Whether he wants to or not; Any obscure task you need done while he’s working from home: It’s not like he has other things he needs to do; Briefly holding your purse while you go tinkle: It’s better than handing it to a stranger; Describing the full plot of a movie so you don’t have to pay attention: Feel free to scroll on your phone until the final scene, then have him give you the full synopsis.
“Purchasing your feminine products for you so you don’t have to feel awkward at the grocery store: Send him late at night so every employee in the store can watch him; Doing most of the work on the home improvement project you impulsively started: Just a quick 80 man-hours of work; Suggesting places to eat so you can make a face and shake your head “no”: You know what you really want, but let him try to figure it out.
Relatable??

…stay??
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has gone on the record to condemn Trump for suggesting she be deported to her native Somalia, arguing that she has every right to stay in the horrible country she hates!! Following a viral Thanksgiving tweet by President Trump blasting Ilhan Omar for hating on America, the congresswoman hit back at Trump by airing her grievances in the most derogatory way possible: on CNN.
“I have every right to be in this terrible, evil, disgusting country,” Omar told reporters. “No, I’m talking about America, not Somalia. Why would I say that about Somalia? That place is great.” CNN anchor Anderson Cooper praised the Minnesota congresswoman for her candour but asked why she bothers staying if she hates America so much. Omar then accused Cooper of being racist for even asking such a question.
“I have the right to stay anywhere I want, even somewhere I hate with every fibre of my being”!!
Reminds you of some of our Opposition politicians who see nothing good in Guyana, eh??

…listen?
The Pope just warned Trump against invading Venezuela. Your Eyewitness is reminded of Stalin’s question to Roosevelt when the latter suggested including the Pope in post-war talks. Stalin asked, “And how many divisions does the Pope have??”
