Blame it on the rain…Blame it on the stars! Whatever you do don’t put the blame on you…Blame it on the rain yeah yeah – Milli Vanilli, 1989
I cursed Zenaida Moya a big fat bad-word (yes the F-word) when I slammed into a huge pothole on Vernon Street yesterday. I'm as foul-mouthed as they come, but to tell you the truth after a very short drive in the city I ran out of big-fat bad words and really nasty derogatory terms to describe the fake-ass pseudo-Mayor. I apologize to some of my readers who constantly scold me for my liberal use of what I feel is really tame profanity but it is what it is…there ain't no nice words to describe what Zenaida has done to the city. There ain't no nice words to call the moron who continues to masquerade as the head of this city – the damned Milli Vanilli Mayor. But you know what is true? Sometimes I wonder who the bigger idiots are…Zenaida for being herself or all of us for continuing to tolerate her lying, negligent, hustling ass in City Hall.
I cringed when the prosecution rolled over and played dead in the faux-mayor's court case recently. I wanted to smack her silly when she let go of her deluge of crocodile tears and claimed that she was vindicated. Vindicated my ass! When she kept saying that the Lord was her guiding light she should have been struck down on the spot. Every jack soul out here knows that the pseudo-mayor is sticky-fingered. Everybody knows that there is big money missing at City Hall. Everybody knows about the sweetheart deals and back-door negotiations on bloated contracts…we're not stupid. We might not be able to get it in black and white, but everybody knows that the mayor is as guilty as they come and she is only free right now because of her political connections. And yet I am positive that there were a few wet eyes out here when the idiot shed her tears and claimed vindication and called on the Lord and little half-a-dalla. We need to be smacked silly.
I watched when the brainless one was questioned very recently in the garbage crisis. She can't really be that stupid, can she? She came off like it was all news to her – gee golly wow, you mean they really want to protest…oh my gosh! Well I'm sure I can talk to that nice fellow over there and we can work out something. Gimme a break, stupid! What exactly will you all talk about? The damned Council is broke. You all owe the company that picks up garbage more than $300,000. You haven't paid them in four months. Look out the window of your plush newly renovated fancy office. You see those people walking about with placards…well they've just been told that they will be laid off at the end of this week because City Hall is not paying them. Were you not aware of this, mayor Vanilli? Oh wait…it's not her fault, the poor thing…it's that damned Financial Controller who just refuses to pay. Yeah bloody right! Anybody who believes that is a damned fool.
I'll bet that the pseudo-mayor manages to collect her very real paycheck every single month, though. How much is she making again…$9000 a month? And I'll bet that while those other fools we call Councilors are absent 99% of the time, they do report to pick up their very hefty stipends…about $4000 a month.
How much more will we take? It's not like we can't look around and see the mess that the city is in. It's not like we don't stumble over garbage every time we come out of our gates. Hell, we don't even have streets with potholes on them…we have potholes with little pieces of street attached. Everything in the city is a mess. Our parks and playgrounds are all dilapidated. Every single street in Belize City is breaking apart or broken apart. There is garbage and filth everywhere. Our street-sides are now jungles…I mean jeez I know a lot of tourists come to Belize for its rainforest, but not on the main streets of the city. Only a completely clueless, brainless, idiotic criminally stupid person would think that the faux-mayor is doing a good job or any job at all.
But you know what we do? NOTHING! Our media houses report dutifully to interview the mayor about one single solitary market built by the Social Investment Fund (not the City Council which still has not even one accomplishment of which to boast). We don't rock the boat at all…we just smile prettily with her and accept all the stupid stuff she tells us. We go out to interview the poor Belizeans marching in the sun-hot because they will be laid off at the end of the week and then we move on to another story. We all accept everything that is done to us and wait for somebody else to find the balls to take a stand and nobody ever does. You go on and do your thing, madam mayor, cause Dean Barrow isn't the only one with no balls…!
