Letter to David Tam Baryoh from Silly Little Asma James
February 1st 2012
Dear Sir,
Please can you come and join us in our pro-SLPP radio programme this morning of February 1st 2012? You see we want you badly on the programme because we were unable to set up Dr. Sylvia Blyden as she is way too smart for us and she cleverly molested us instead. So we want you to come instead since you are another of the fiercely independent minds in the journalism landscape and we want to molest all independent journalists who are refusing to toe our SLPP outrageous lines in the media.
You see how we made a total fool of ourselves yesterday January 31st 2012 right in the presence of the IMC Commissioner Rod Mac-Johnson after WAKABOT did the spectacularly stupid personal attack which most people found not amusing but repulsive? Poor Rod MacJohnson, you should have seen how he hung his head in shame as he walked out.
All that his fine lecture on avoiding personal attacks was like throwing pearls at swine - I did not say I am a hog or a swine so please understand what I mean.
This letter is dated February 1st 2012 because that it the day I am writing it. As you know, Awareness Times is not in the category of our 2 by 4 ‘panbody’ newspapers which finish work by 5pm of the day before. The award-winning Awareness Times can change their front page even at 7am in the morning.
This is one of the reasons why they deserved their AWOL awards which has thrown SLPP into panic. The paper is so spectacular and Sylvia Blyden is so great that I am green with envy! Green like SLPP which I support via reading out offensive pro-SLPP texts which have the potential to cause chaos and get people killed like our radio used to do and still continues to do.
Awareness Times is such a great newspaper. Remember how they recently published the picture of Miss University who was crowned at 7am but yet her photo appeared in that day’s edition by 8am? Sylvia Blyden is a master in the art of journalism.
Sylvia has set the pace and we, the pro-SLPP desperados are all still trying to catch up behind her but wusai bah? The lady too smart. Look at how she was able to publish that letter dated 30th January on the same January 30th just as how she is publishing this my Feb 1st letter on today’s date as well?
If I went to an SLPP civil servant’s party on the night of January 29th where I made a lot of stupid comments about “crazy” and setting up my female journalist colleague to the hearing of JJ, Andrew Lavali and other SLPPers and someone leaves the party to inform Sylvia Blyden of all my stupid comments and then the person writes a letter sometime after midnight (i.e: January 30th), you can be sure Awareness Times will publish it on January 30th because they are such a superb newspaper. A very current paper which could publish by 8am, the photo of the crowning of the beauty queen Miss University who was crowned at 7am!
So Mr. David Tam-Baryoh, we hope you will come this morning to be molested by us on air as we really need to set up at least one of you independent guys; since we missed Sylvia Blyden!
This is me, truly sincerely yours faithfully,
Silly Little Asma James (FM98.1)
