Aruba: Pitbull’s old bar Choose a Name Burns Down

How ironic that Pitbull’s old bar “Choose a Name” burns down. Earlier this year  Pitbull was found burning   in a cave and now his place of employment  ”Choose a Name,” where he was a bouncer burns as well. Truth is stranger than fiction.

After two hours, the fire brigade managed to subdue the fire in the Choose A Name building.

ARUBA — Place of entertainment Choose A Name in the Havenstraat burned down completely last Sunday afternoon.   The authorities are still not sure how the fire started.   Fire department spokesperson Gabriel Kelly indicated this morning that the police are investigating the incident.   He didn’t want to say anything about a possible arson.

Aruba Adds Insult to Injury by sending Beth Twitty a Visitor Survey after Natalee Vanishes

Talk about adding insult to injury. Talk about bad form. Talk about not having a clue to take Beth Twitty’s name off a mailing list to ask how her stay in Aruba was. Aruba, have a heart. Exactly how do you not preempt this stock letter from going out to the mother who’s daughter went missing on your island? Are you people serious? We are beginning to wonder if there is anything you get right. It is astonishing that at this point and time, after all that has gone on, Aruba would further rub salt in the wounds. What a tourism PR department you people have.

Let us give you the short version of how this might be answered. I lost my daughter on Aruba  and you covered up a crime. Other than that, everything was fine … GEEZ.

Aruba Visitor Survey, fill out at your own risk.

Just how do you think Beth Twitty will answer these questions?

a. Overall great experience. Is there a category worse than poor seeing that Natalee Holloway went missing, was most likely sexually assaulted and the investigation was a cover up?

b. Has great beaches. You mean the great beaches that Joran Van der Sloot claimed to have left Natalee Holloway on and abandoned her? Or the beaches where the suspects have allegedly claimed to have buried her?

d. Is Safe and Secure. I guess we can guess  how Beth Twitty would answer this one. It would read, see Safe Travels.

f. Has friendly local people. Like those 3 friendly suspects that left with Natalee Holloway, sexually assaulted her, were last seen with her and lied about having ever dropped her off where she was staying.

l. Has great night life. Yes, Carlos n’ Charlie’s is a killer time.

More Americans can name 7 Dwarfs than Supreme Court Justices

What a rather sad commentary that more Americans can name two of the seven dwarfs of ‘Snow White’ fame than they can two names of the US Supreme Court Justices. Although with the recent “eminent domain” ruling by the SCOTUS, “Dopey” may be used as a name  for Dwarfs and  Justices.

To make matters worse according to the poll, 74% of those questioned could provide the names of the Three Stooges, while only 42% knew the names of the 3 Branches of USÂ  Government. Â
