Auntie Charo's Soapbox

I tried in vain....to catch some Zzzzz's after the long flight home but to no avail so instead of counting sheep(people from Guam don't know about sheep) I surfed the now 77 channels on MTV.........caught all the Sanchez children receiving their halos/oes(what is the plural of halo?)from close friends and or family about how they can help the island become the best that it can be.....Florida for her work at putting together the PeMar place in Tamuning is probably the more low key of the Sanchez siblings but then, she didn't run the judicial system's pocket book(remember all that money he spent on those goons in DC to lobby so that we couldn't have a Supreme Court be over the Superior Court?) The dude he spent those big bucks on is in this week's TIME magazine and was frequently on t.v. in the states having alleged 'milked' the Indians(as in west) on gambling lobbying fees......then of course, this man with the new halo slipped into the governor's office and became its CEO and was there long enough to open Pandora's box ordering the allowance of one EITC payment to one family.....he must've fallen from grace after that because after that, the DPW wonder kid who was doing a good job was called to the principal's office and got tagged for the CEO's job and the the almighty one from the judiciary system was quietly sent to the bureau of planning where he seems(according to his cronies) and compadres(some who were best friends of the former governor and who seem to have jumped fences to be friends with this administration........committee to get Guam working, I say!!!)to be living happily ever after.
I know it won't happen but I'll put it out there anyway.....you don't suppose that anyone in the legislature has the guts(oh how I'd love to use words sailors would use!)to ask the dear, haloed, man, what he was thinking, when he wrote all those $9,000.00 checks for the lobbyist,Jack Abramoff(sp)....who has the guts to ask the hard questions until he comes up with the answers on the EITC questions and how it was handled?
I predict that like other 'pat my back' sessions(it's my party and I'll do what I have to) the clowns will pretend to ask real questions and in the end, confirm the man and they'll all go home and think they did the people of Guam a good thing.
Guam is like one of those machines you see in the Discovery Channels...you can change the people who turn it on, or who changes the oil or fixes the broken parts, but when you turn it back on, it continues to work in the same way as it did before. Perhaps it's time we broke the machine and bought a new one!
