Unlike their counterparts in wealthier countries, Dominicans have come to see a spanking new luxury SUV as an automatic part of the package when appointed to public office.

I'd LOVE to see what a judges 'go slow' means............
Do.......................you...................... .........solemnly..........................swear.. ....................that................

Remember that Schweppes ad. where the butler Wilson delivered the glass, G & T in his painfully slow shuffle & then had to retrace steps through the baronial hall, to get the ice?
