If I were Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago September 2009 Episode 2

Following her August 2009 Intro, Caribbean feminist activist and performance poet Gab Hosein experiments with Episode 2 of her new video blog (vlog), 'If I were Prime Minister...'. She takes on hubris, the Achilles heel of politicians and the basis for so much bad decision-making. Leaders need to deal in realities and truths, and to do so with some standards. This episode layers the PNM party school song of choice, 'It's a Love Thing' (by the Whisperers) with thick irony and necessary humour as well as relevant stats and global scope. NACTA polls are totally fraudulent and Trinidadian political leaders know this, even as they use them to score cheap political points. Still, if you are phoney enough to publicly big up a poll you know is fake but too fool fool to know when it doesn't work for you, you deserve whatever dotishness you get dished. All other poll results referred to are reliable. Thanks to Johnny, Ritz and Stonez for creative support. Send your comments, ideas and share!
