Dulcie says: Me Want An American Flag!
Published Sep 20, 2009Hello dere friends, I am so glad to be correspanding wid yu folks again. Well, I am shivering inna mi shoes from excitement an delight. I get wan letta from a Senator hin America. Dis Senator was so very nice, mi cyant call im name, but im did wan hask sum hadvice pon de election inna November. Ere goes his note to me, which me paste up hall hover de front door an veranda.
Dear Ms. Dulcimer Robothom:
I am quite a fan of your column on Jamaicans.com. You seem to be very intuitive and have a real gift for predicting future events.
I must admit I am sending you this letter privately and I hope you will use the utmost discretion when responding.
The American people seem to be anxious in reference to the upcoming elections. My colleauges and I are a bit frustrated because it seems like such a close race. We are curious to know who will be the next President of The United States of America. What are your thoughts on the matter? Hypothetically speaking, of course.
Oh! Ms. Dulcimer if there is anything you need please be sure to contact my aides, they would be honored to help you.

Dear Mr. Incognito on "The Hill"
SHH! Mi naw tell nobody who yu is, but a jus ave one questian to hask yu. Which hill yu a hide pon? Capitol Hill or de hill pon Hillside Havenue?
In Jamaica we ave so many hills. We ave Beverly Hills, Blue Mountain Peak an Warricka Hill. So yu see, mi jus wan be clear sey mi naw talk to wan a mi rasta brethren dem. However, yu did mention dat you are a Senator, so I gwey hassume sey yu is pon de great big highty-tighty White House Hill. Well has far de election, I ave a feelins sey dat man Kerry gwey give Mr. Bush a run far is money. Bush not givin in widdout a fight, so a say, it gweyn be a close, close race. America will be alright dough. Far uno is warriors an not winers. So dat will carry uno a lang, lang way.
Mi really like Mr. Bush an im cowbwoy boots dem. Im remin mi a "busha" pon de cane field. Mi also fancy Mr. Kerry, an him wife. She his a woman haf substance! A so mi like a oman fi talk ar mine, plain and straight. Dem is all nice people, all de same. The man above will mek di best wan win. I ope i was hable to hease uno mine. By de way, since yu did tell mi hif me need hanything, I tink a gwey hask yu kindly fi an American flagg. Mi like fi wave it pon de veranda. Me get whole heap hof questians when me haf it. I would be much abliged if yu sen mi wan. May de almighty fadder bless yu mi sun. Please let mi noe how yu gettin on in yu likkle meetins.

Ms. Dulcimer R. Robothom

Ms. Dulcie Sey: “Thou Shall Not Covet Dy Neighbor’s Wife!” My wife and I recently moved to a new town because my company relocated. The relocation was an alternative to downsizing. Therefore my company opted to save tax dollars by changing cities. Prior to moving to Oregon, I kept my marriage and private life “under wraps”. No one had met my wife, Selena until we moved to Portland. But, since the company paid to relocate us, it feels as if it has given people a free pass to invade our private lives. We are trying to get acclimated to the environment, but recent events have made it very difficult.
