ANTIGUA, WHERE THE AMBASSADOR IS A HAIRDRESSER

Meet DR. DAVE RAY, designated Ambassador-at-Large by Antigua's Prime Minister Gaston Browne. Mr. Ray, who calls himself Doctor, after he was awarded an honorary doctorate by an online entity in Estonia that has no academic credentials, is a cosmetologist living and working in the United States. He of course has no diplomatic posting, position or responsibility, no qualifying training, education or experience, but he sees fit to comment daily on Antigua's international political problems, panning any and all who are critical of PM Browne's China cheerleading propaganda, complete with profanity and ungrammatical commentary on social media.

Ray is the poster child for all that is wrong with the Caribbean's arbitrary promotion of individuals whose diplomatic credentials are not only a violation of the Vienna Convention and of the procedures of the United Nations Protocol and Liaison Service, but which allow criminals to skirt customs and immigration at international airports of entry. Antigua's diplomatic passport handouts are a running joke; no wonder the country objected to having their "diplomats" named and shamed.

Then again, you may get a substantial discount on your next haircut, if you refer to "Doctor" Ray as Ambassador, should you encounter him.
