Aruba: Minister Booshi Wever: ‘If I lose the case, I will step down’ … “Minister Wever denies having been in a strip-club that night”
This sounds rather familiar to a former American politician … “I did not go to that strip club … not a single time, not once”. The political fur seems to be flying in Aruba these days. Now we have a political strip club scandal.
Minister Wever denies having been in a strip-club that night. He declared before the judge that ministers are not supposed to visit such establishments. He said that he was indeed in Punto Fijo for a baseball tournament. He indicated that the article bothers him a lot. “My kids are being teased with this article. This situation is very unpleasant for my family, because people keep talking about it.”Â
I think the larger issue is that the Aruban government has no concept of what freedom of speech is. The MEP party has made it abundantly clear in past news articles what they plan on doing to individuals who dare speak against them.
They may have other more pending issues though, like finding Natalee Holloway.

All is not well in Apprenticeland … Donald Trump to Carolyn Kepcher: ‘You’re fired!’
Donald Trump has once again stated those two words that he has become most famous for
… “You’re Fired”. However, this time it was not even during an airing of the Apprentice. Donald Trump has fired Carolyn Kepcher, the blonde 36 year old co-star of Donald Trump’s ‘The Apprentice.’
This will most likely be the kiss of death for The Apprentice. Donald Trump has decided on nepotism vs. quality for the Apprentice. Donald, so much for sticking with the success plan that made “The Apprentice” one of the most popular shows rather than just making in a play toy vehicle for your children.
Natalee Holloway Investigation: Sander Gottenbos June 17, 2005 Statements
What is amazing is that there are statements to the police from 15 year old Sander Gottenbus, but not from his older brother Koen. Both Dave Holloway and Beth Twitty had begged Gerold Dompig to interview Koen, one of Joran Van der Sloots very good friends and fellow PIMP. A PIMP who’s dad owned a boat. It is rather peculiar that Sander would submit to questioning, but not Koen.
From Sanders questioning it is rather convenient that he not only lost his phone, but can manage to remember not having any contact with Joran Van der Sloot on the 31. However, he cannot remember having contact on the 30th or computer contact on the 29th.
Sander spoke to Joran Van der Sloot at 11:00am on May 29, 2005 and invited him to go on the boat. Joran stated no as he was going to play poker at the Holiday Inn. Joran has also never been on their boat? That is almost impossible to believe. Interestingly enough though, since Joran was invited on the boat … Joran knew the boat would be in the water the night of May 29, 2005.

Aruba: Social workplace needed for drug addicts … Like what, the Aruban Hotels?
So the PC crowd in Aruba think that drug addicts of Aruba should not be in prison, but instead in a social work place. Do they wish to main stream them with the tourists? Don’t they have enough bad elements walking around Aruba? One thing is for certain and that is Aruba has a real issue with drug addicts. They are walking a thin line with the chance that a desperate drug addict in search of money to buy drugs may act accordingly against a tourist. If that ever happens with the present climate that exists, Aruba will become a ghost town.
ARUBA – Prison term is not the solution for the problem of drug addicts. It will be better for the society if the drug addicts can get out of this vicious circle by means of a structural approach. A social workplace would be a solution, said lawyer Jacobo Petrocthi in his defence of a client that is addicted to drugs.
Gasoline Prices Falling??? Could be close to $2.00 by Thanksgiving … Just in Time For Midterm Elections
Then suddenly from out of nowhere gasoline prices have fallen. I actually almost got into an 
accident when I spotted a sign with gas prices at $2.65. Its is true, gasoline prices are falling fast and could keep dropping for months.
“The only place they have to go is down,” says Fred Rozell, gasoline analyst at the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS). “We’ll be closer to $2 than $3 come Thanksgiving.”
Travel organization AAA foresees prices 10 cents a gallon lower by the end of next week. It reported a nationwide average of $2.84 Tuesday, the lowest since April 20.

ATA: Come to Aruba … Sandy White Beaches … Forget About that Valero Oil spill
Aruba is constantly praised by the Aruban Tourism officials for its sandy white beaches and beautiful seas. Well it would appear that Valero just put a chink in that armor. Yet one more cause to worry for potential tourism losses.
A broken pipe at the Valero oil refinery on Aruba caused undetermined amounts of oil to leak out into the ocean and eventually wash ashore. If the below picture is any idea as to how Aruba dealt with any kind of oil spill, one can only wonder the contamination and affect this spill had on the beaches, sand, water, vegetation and wild life. It continues to astound us, and it should not, how absolutely apathetic Aruba deals with serious issues. It is not an optical illusion in the picture below, oil is in the water and on the beach and they are dealing with it with shovels. Note to Aruba and Holland … please do not ever consider putting a nuclear reactor on Aruba.
Due to a broken pipe of oil-refinery Valero yesterday afternoon, a yet to be determined amount of oil leaked out into the sea. The pipe had a length of 40 meters and was temporarily not in operation. With the fast actions of four towboats with sprayers, a helicopter and other material, the biggest part of the oil could be prevented from washing ashore.
Is that a “yet to be determined amount of oil” or a we are not going to report the amount of 
oil that was dumped into the ocean and then washed ashore?
At first, the oil-slick was moving towards the open sea, but it still reached the coast through an opening in the reef at Commandeurs Bay and caused the oil to wash ashore on the beach of Santa Largo. Nobody knows when the oil started to leak out, but Valero received a call around 11:30 that oil was flooding the sea.
Please tell us that an oil spill did not occur on Aruba and only 15 workers showed up with shovels and wheel barrows to deal with this incident. Please tell us that you do realize that there is more to an oil spill than just what you see in front of your nose. Aruba has heard of ground and sand contamination? Where are the front end loaders? Where are the dump trucks? Exactly how are you removing the sand contaminated by the oil?
Katie Couric, Who Needs Atkins or the South Beach Diet when you have CBS photoshop (Fauxtography)
Katie Couric has literally become the “Incredible Shrinking Anchor-woman”. Move over South Beach, Atkins, Sonoma diet, Jenny Craig and lyposuction. There is a new diet sheriff in town that sheds pounds, lightens skin and gets rid of any unwanted blemishes in mere minutes … its called “photoshop”.
“Besides Photoshop, the only other way to lose 20 pounds in a matter of seconds would be to hack off a limb,” joked Samantha Heller, the senior clinical nutritionist at NYU Medical Center.
