them.<\/p>\n<p>The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda: To waste copious amounts of time by giving every duttyfoot investor who wants to rub noses with grubby politicians the opportunity to sit with Cabinet and wax eloquent about multimillion dollar investments, none of which will ever come to fruition, all while influence and favours are exchanged under the table.<\/p>\n<p>The Integrity Commission: To be the most clandestine body in the history of public administration in Commonwealth Caribbean; to exist only as a theory in quantum physics, but to never have been proven to actually exist; to be so clandestine so as to put the CIA, the NSA, Mi6, and even Mossad to utter shame.<\/p>\n<p>Sir Robin Yearwood: To be have done nothing, to have done it for 50 years, and yet, to be praised.<\/p>\n<p>Antigua &amp; Barbuda Broadcasting Services (ABS): To Give Antiguans and Barbudans the opportunity to enjoy censorship and to ensure that at all times, no facts which may be considered even remotely derogatory of the sitting government may be broadcast at anytime on any of its mediums. To see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil, and to be rewarded by the taxpayers for failing so to do.<\/p>\n<p>Gaston Browne: To ensure that the heirs and successors of Gaston Browne shall never go hungry, even unto the 19th and 20th generation.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Youth Affairs (DYA): To write seasonal pieces in the newspaper, but to mount no coordinated response to the multiple overlapping crises of delinquency, drug addiction, gang affiliation, neglect, and domestic abuse afflicting the nation&#8217;s youth.<\/p>\n<p>The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda (RPFAB): To be understsffed, underpaid, underfunded, overworked, ill-equipped, provided with little to no oversight, and yet, to be expected to provide stellar policing.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Ernest J.
