Auntie Charo's Soapbox

What a sensational power trip that was for the senators, mini-lords sitting in their thrones, looking down at the employees as if they were imbeciles, demanding answers of their questions which turned the oversight hearing into an all out inquisition. They asked questions of the acting administrator expecting that he would have the answers after having only been at the hospital for one month. The comic relief was when the former doctor turned senator spent almost an hour using the latin words for the hiring of a doctor for temporary use and trying to explain the illegality of the contract between his former body builder friend and the hospital and wants the contract to be looked into and that should it not be legal that the perpetrators should be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law......then there was the confusing exchange between BJ Cruz and the AG. BJ said that his meds were increased because the contracts raised his blood pressure. I'm thinking it raised more than just his BP since he seemed to be talking in circles, the AG having a hard time trying to figure out what the newbie senator was trying to get at.
What I thought was the worst part of the oversight hearing was the harsh and public scolding of the vice chair of the hospital board, Dr. Larry Lizama who the former Dr. Body Builder tore into for being negligent and not being deligent enough to have cought the illegalities of the various contracts and that in the future he had to be more deligent and more prudent. Alas! The senator gets paid for sitting at long table with a pretty good salary.........if Dr. Larry Lizama had to pay more attention to the contracts and other things that are happening at GMH because he's a board member, then he may as well close up his office....I may be wrong but last I heard, the stipend for being a board member at GMH is only $50.00 which most don't keep.........Dr. Bodybuilder, tread lightly on your volunteer board members, they're there as a favor to the hospital and not vice versa!
This evening's oversight was quite dramatic and it was free.........perhaps we can get the dude that does the survivor show, Mark Burnett to do one of his reality shows using Guam's clowns and Guam's government and economic survival as a plot..........only problem is, instead of being a drama, it would be a comedy, it's too pathetic to be dramatic!
As for those Nacion people that want the trustees out.......the Trini Torreses.......let them have at it....they're dumber than dirt...if they ran the hospital, we wouldn't have to wait too long before the doors closed for good. So far, all they seem to know how to do is call the talk shows. Haven't seen them protest how badly their children are being treated in public schools, why are they bothering with the hospital? Funny how they pick and choose the battles they want to be involved with. Guess they're not interested in the Dragon towers that will be built at Oka point behind the Hilton hotel where their ancestors will be buried...where the gongs and incense will be offered to keep their spirits away from the Chinese that will live/visit there........oh well, this week it's the hospital, next week, they'll whine at whatever it is that's the hot topic! Biba Guam!
On a side note, I'd like to say that Peter John Camacho is a gentleman and is turning out to be a good replacement.
A question that I have on a future oversight hearing? Will they force Phil Flores to attend the hearing by the issuing of a subpoena?
