Shall we henceforth Calder man "Johnny"?

Back in the 20th century, there once permeated an all-powerful Trinbagonian-Prime-Ministerial close buddy of portly build, named Johnny O'Halloran, who, when found himself lined up in the crosshairs for his openly-known and well-documented corrupt deeds in public office, hopped on the first plane and hightailed it for parts unknown. Some say he went with thousand$, some say was tens of thousand$, others say he went with million$!

Whatever the amount, Johnny never returned to his native soil, not even post mortem...though some of what he took did ---In 1990, consequent upon National Alliance for Reconstruction administration-initiated legal action to recover what Johnny pilfered, the Tesoro oil company forked over US$28 million and O’Halloran's estate was forfeited.

Now, in the new millennium, the permeating presence of another all-powerful Trinbagonian-Prime-Ministerial close buddy of portly build has demonstrated that history does indeed repeat herself ---if one refuses to learn anything from her. One therefore, is not surprised that the new close buddy has left these shores upon the stoking uff of the fire already lit to bun him.

So! Shall one, henceforth, too, call the man "Johnny"?
