In Trinidad and Tobago, Woman is Boss!
In the past, I have bragged that this blog has no political agenda, and is strictly committed to covering only the universally hilarious. Usually I think I keep my word, but today you can call me a liar, because I’m just tickled about something and you’re all going to have to read about it.
Last week, Trinidad and Tobago elected their first female Prime Minister. Her name is Kamla Persad-Bissessar, she’s a former minister of education, and she won by a landslide. Beyond that, I don’t know much about her, but I’m happy for her, and I’m happy for Trinidad and Tobago, which is a pretty conservative country when all is said and done. They’re not Iran, but they’re not Norway either, so I think we should all feel as furry as new pair of boots about this. Don’t get me wrong, the minute bitch does something wrong, I’ll be on it, but for now, I’m going to say this: Congratulations Kamla Persad-Bissessar. Govern hard, govern well, and remember…. I’ll be watching.

About the Site
Polonoscopy is a site devoted to political fluff. While I do appreciate that there are important issues out there… with respect… eh… don’t really care. Not here anyway, not now, that is not what Polonoscopy is about. Fluff. It’s all about image and perception in politics. Rather than vote for someone based on a record of public service and commitment to the meaningful issues of the day, wouldn’t you rather vote for someone who’s personality seems similar if only slightly more impressive then your own? Of course, we all would.
