(Sing)
One of these things is not like the other.
One of these things just doesn’t belong.
Can you guess which thing is not like the other
Before I finish this song?
I in Port of Spain yesterday, my pardner Andy called me saying, “Boy, like Hugo Chavez move to Trinidad, look Panday on the midday news wearing ah red beret.”
Well of course I couldn’t see it right then and there, but when I did eventually see it, well I coulda dead. Hugo Chavez has an evil twin. Sometimes I can’t believe this man at all. Is this supposed to be some kind of statement he’s making? He’s moved from Gandhi to Chavez in the space of about a year. I guess he’s trying to say that he is militant now. Look at everyone try to ignore the idiot in the red beret:

| Everybody, look the other way |
Here he is wearing a red Venezuelan paratrooper’s beret with a UNC logo safety pinned to the front, and I am supposed to take him seriously? Maybe it was dress up night at the UNC Monday night meeting - Basdeo Panday, by night known as Basdego Pandez or Basdeo X.
So no one tried to tell the man he looks fake? The funny thing is that I’m sure someone tried to dissuade him from wearing it, but Bas is the boss and if he wants to wear his red beret, he’s going to do it and “no damned dog bark”. You can get a better look at Colonel Panday here.

Again off topic but I saw MP Achong in the midst of a prayer service before his appearance on “cussin” charges. Why does he look so afraid? It’s not obeah the ladies were doing it’s just prayers! Why are the Spritual Baptists supporting a leader who displayed behaviour that is inappropriate especially around children? Trinidad nice eh.

Chennette, are u referring to Ralph Gonzales? Is he a comrade of Mr. Chavez?
Boysie, that never surprises me anymore. It’s called Missing white woman syndrome. They have always done that and I think they’ll continue to do that forever. I think it’s part of the institutionalization of racism thing.
D Trini, I don’t think anyone else will ever attempt something like that.
lol, oh gosh boy Dirk, yuh had meh cracking up.
TriniGourmet, lol. Very True.

Boysie, well if you could find out the answer to that I will give you a million dollars, lol. Why would a religious body back someone like Achong? I have no idea.
