FSM Patrol Boat left today for Ant Island - Picnic
One of the three patrol boats for the FSM left today (Saturday - 05/12/07)for Ant Island in Pohnpei for a field day of nothing but having good time and ultimate relaxation for the AG and other cabinet members from the outgoing FSM National Government Administration. According to some insiders, one of the departments chartered the boat and I say this is a waste of time and waste of public funds. There was a party last week at Misko Beach for the same purpose - to bid
farewell to the outgoing leaders. If the trip to Ant today is again to bid more farewell then I believe it is not for a good cause and purely it is just a big waste of money. We are always trying to control the unnecessary expenses for the Governments in order to be able to continue to operate and provide the required services to the people during the life ofthe amended compact. Expenses associated with this trip is a classic example of the kind of waste that we as Micronesians seem to overlook because they maybe considered immaterial for the amount but they do add up to become significant when we plus plus plus and plus expenses of the many similar party activities during each fiscal year.

The President should investigate this, if he was not a passenger on the boat.
Congress should convene an investigative body to look into it.
For me, using a Patrol Boat for picnic is not right. You don't mix security with pleasure, unless ....
My opinion...
Government malfeasance is something that needs to be dealt with and as a citizen of this great nation it is a healthy indication that we are all concerned. Now, some of these respectable forumers disapprove of certain actions that our government takes on spending all our tax dollars. Call it what you want, but I don’t see any reason that our patrol boats should be used as a “PARTY CRUIZE SHIP†instead of patrolling our waters.
When i said, President-doesn't mean the President himself. The Office of the Pres or the Executive branch which the DOJ falls under. and i say UNDER not under the DOJ. If you are referring to the investigators of the FSM National Police, those falls under the DOJ. The Investigators work for DOJ Sec. The DOJ Sec work for the President.
When I say President, I'm not referring to the man himself, for him to appoint someone to do the investigation.
I hope that would clarify my previous post. Sorry if I confuse the heck out of your mind...
As one who used to check out Navy boys, I wouldn't want to touch your sailing story with a ten foot pole. It stinks just like those who went on the trip! So the partrol boat only went on a test run and the people decided to cook some lunch? So why did the AG bring her XX-Large bathing suit along in advance? No picnic planned? Only coincidence? Pullllleeeeze....
Try a medium size excuse, not an Double XX lie...
It just amazes me that the Eastern outer islands of Mokil, Pingelap are drastically running short of supplies due to the lack of ship doing a supply run, yet the patrol boat can go on a cruise...
In other news:
The National Weather Service and the Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii were in high-alert after major alarms went off on Saturday and nearly sounded the evacuation alarm for all low lying Pacific island residents to "run for the hills" but after frantic calls throughout their pyramid alert structure, an undisclosed source at the FSM Capitol tipped them off that it was just the Attorney General of the FSM jumping in the ocean at Ant Atoll to test her new bathing suit. This is the same suit that Calvin Klein and Prada tailors sewed together using 4 parachute materials. They would have used a fifth one but the poor country of the FSM couldn't afford the super strong kevlar coated thread to sew and keep the damn things together which would in turn hold in the excessivly large rolls of sweaty fat and flesh that have not seen exercise for the past 20 plus years. Rumors have it that the crotch of the bathing suit is made with brand new Good Year tires modified to suit and mold to the also-present rolls of sweaty fat and flesh that have not seen exercise nor a good humping since its creation days. This, is either good news or bad news depending on which side of the bed you got up on.
This is jackstphen, in the FSM. Stay tuned for more developments....
You sound like a girl. Sarcasm and personal attacks is not going to do anyone any good. Its not AG's fault that she is smarter than you.
As citizens of the FSM, we have the right to be concerned when we believe that public funds are being misused, but jack you are being too harsh. Please, keep cool.....
PEACEOUT!!!!!
I think the AG and his national chief of police need to read the MOU between Australia and FSM regarding the use of the patrol boats. The MOU listed only three legitimate uses of the patrol boats: (1) surveillance, (2) search and rescue, and (3) medical evacuation. Certainly government picnic is not included as one of the legitimate uses of the patrol boats. In addition to that, the taxpayers are paying the bill for the fuel for this picnic. I think the new speaker of the FSM Congress should instruct Chairmen Peter Sitan and Dohsis Halbert of the Committee on Judiciary and Governmental Operations and the Committee on Ways and Means, respectively, to conduct oversight hearing with the AG and the other department heads. The issues are the improper used of government property and misused of taxpayers' money for fuel. Since the government property they misused is donated by a foreign government, the oversight hearing should also inclue Chairman Paliknoa Welly of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. I think the misuse of government property and funds can be curbed if our congress uses its oversight power to look into them.
Good points!! So many accidents happened to the patrol boats in the past during this kind of activities.
My sincere apology to the Honorable Attorney General. It was my honest mistake. I am not insinuating any bad characterization at all.
People always read through negative comments . . . this one, it is the case of a very bitter and arrogant heart, a result of false pride covering up a very inferior and insecure person who is surrounded by better peers, thus giving the need to put down others to boost her self image.
I am just quoting Dr. Schmier's book on psycho analysis.
Good morning ate, ifa usum non ei sosoran? Ka ores? Ka brush? Iwe, iwe....
Last I looked you were and are not my mom to tell me what's not good/right.
People who stick their noses elsewhere are more likely to be those that don't ores and brush in the mornings.
I am just quoting Dr. Seuss' book titled 'Cat in the Hat'.
Oh, and did you know that Dr. Schmier had a lot of skeletons in his closet? He was a chronic masturbator, peeping Tom and just flat out perverse. Do some research ate, you will 'see the light' or maybe it is his background that attracts you?
And to answer your question that you have been hesitant and embarrassed to ask, "Yes! The AG is single and available and all yours for the asking."
Chat to ya later ate...
