malafunkshun is off the air. when it started, it was great--clever, witty, subtle. somewhere along the line it became bitter with baggage and as subtle as a mallet to the head.

what is it with the death of subtlety on this island? why did marine drive have to become marine corps drive? it's supposed to be a salute to guam's liberators in world war II, but that was a joint effort amongst all the armed forces. when the road was originally dedicated to the marines in 1945, the officials involved understood exactly that "marine" was a double entendre, meant to both honour the soldiers, and the island itself. further proof of the continuing disrespect by man of land and sea. not to mention some unhealthy amount of self-loathing.
