Book Description

July 21, 2010

ANTHONY L. HALL takes aim at every important issue of our time with a unique and refreshing perspective. He comments on:

Obama accepting the Nobel Prize...

"Many people are still wondering what that mysterious light hovering over Norway was on the night before he arrived. But, despite claims that it was generated by a UFO or the failed test launch of a Russian missile, die-hard believers (like me) will tell you that it was just a celestial sign heralding the Nobel coming of Barack Obama."

The swine flu pandemic that wasn't...

"An Obama advisor has been quoted saying, 'You never want a serious crisis to go to waste'... It is instructive to note that the pharmaceutical companies that produce vaccines, as well as the peddlers of surgical masks and other flu paraphernalia, appear to be heeding this advice."

Movie about Nehru's affair with the wife of a British diplomat...

"One can only imagine the physical passion they shared, especially in light of Edwina's reputed nymphomania, which, notwithstanding Nehru's efforts, she reportedly satiated by making scandalous booty calls on a black man for over 30 years."

Christmas Day underwear bomber...

"[W]e had the secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, assuring us on Sunday that 'the system worked' in this case. If this 'good-job-Brownie' faux pas doesn't suggest that our whole airline security system is devoid of logic, nothing does."

Cartoon of Obama kneeling and kissing shoe of Chinese leader...

"To be sure, the cartoon takes some creative license. But the essential point it conveys is undeniable: America cannot stand like a superpower with China squeezing its balls in a financial vise grip!"

Expenses scandal that rocked UK Parliament...

"Who knew that the only swine flu Britons had to worry about was an epidemic of MPs feeding at the public trough like pigs?"

Tiger Woods's Thanksgiving-Day spat with his wife...

"Cheating Tiger, fuming dragon...."

5.0 out of 5 stars Editorial Review August 20, 2010
Format:Paperback
Caribbean News Now op-ed columnist Anthony Hall has recently published his fifth retrospective compendium of insight and observations on the major events of our times.

Mr Hall's latest look back -- CHANGE We Can Believe In? -- covers his usual wide range of subjects, including sports, celebrities and their glorified misbehavior, the Obama presidency, resetting Cold War relations, the politics and business of religion, and the end game of corruption in an island paradise, in his inimitably enlightening and entertaining style.

Once again, the latest volume is conveniently ordered by topic, making it easy for the reader to refer to particular sections and items of interest.

Of particular interest to our readers will be the regional perspective Mr Hall brings to much of his commentary.
Topics of special Caribbean interest in the latest volume include follow-up commentaries on the situation in the Turks and Caicos Islands that eventually resulted in the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry to look into allegations of government corruption and serious dishonesty; the changing (or not) of the political situation in Cuba; and events following the devastating earthquake in Haiti.

For Mr Hall, like Shakespeare, all the world's a stage, and all the men and women are players (often to be lampooned), with their exits and their entrances.

In politics, we have the "no brainer" exit of Sarah Palin and, in sports, the Tiger Woods "bimbo eruption".

This year, Mr Hall also comments on the ways in which celebrities become far more famous in death than they ever were in life ... for a few days.

As always, Mr Hall tackles all of these topics and many more with his trademark confidence, flair and humour.
