**** Michael Reid, caustic opposition PUP party writer and wit!



From Opposition PUP Party Hack, Michael Reid, a writer extolling the virtues of the Opposition political party in Belize. ( party flag is Blue )

****Prime Minister Barrow of Belize. His party in power is the UDP. ( Party flag is red )

Prime Minister Dean Barrow was invited to address a major gathering of native Maya farmers in the village of San Antonio in the Southern Toledo hills last evening.

He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing the Mayan standard of living, protecting the forest and fighting for their cause. He referred to his time as lawyer when he fought in court for Mayan rights and how while in opposition, he stood up on every issue that came before the House.

Although the Prime Minister was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas for helping his indigenous sisters and brothers.
At the conclusion of his speech, the Mayans presented Barrow with a plaque inscribed with his new Mayan name, "Walking Toucan". ( Famous bird of Belize ) Barrow left the gathering feeling proud and confident that the Mayans could now be considered truly “red”. Red is the UDP governing political party colors.

Jules Vasquez a noted Reporter of the port town up in the middle of the coast of Belize, then approached the group of Mayans and asked how they came to select the new name they had given to the Prime Minister.

They explained that Walking Toucan is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.
