O Lord! Save us from the PNM. Amen!

The fidgeting over whether the last Friday's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting was properly conducted or not indicates, ad nauseam nostram, that, as far as the Manning administration (PNM) is concerned, the government (PNM) is answerable to none but itself and, therefore, prompts me, once again, to utter this amended version of a Latin prayer I learnt whilst a student at St. Mary's College:

"Deprecationem nostram quaesumus Domine benignus exaudi et quibus supplicandi praestas affectum tribue de PNM defensionis auxilium amen"
TRANSLATION: "O Lord! We, to whom Thou hast given an intense love of praying, beg thee mercifully to hear us and grant that, by Thy powerful aid, we may be defended from and comforted in all the dangers and tribulations continually posed to us by the PNM! Amen."
