Recent Years
After his expulsion and subsequent election loss, as a political analyst, Parga has not held his punches when commenting on Puerto Rico's government, being particularly critical of Thomas Rivera Schatz, President of the Senate. Parga has gone as far as calling Rivera Schatz a "poisonous pill" and "a coward". In 2010, Parga said in an interview that "being a legislator in this island is worth nothing. When I was young, I would stand in the Senate gallery and dream about being a Senator. It used to be something prestigious."
Parga is currently a political commentator on Radio Isla, a local radio network, and serves as a consultant to current Secretary of State McClintock and the Office of Legislative Services of Puerto Rico.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“I’d give all wealth that years have piled,
The slow result of Life’s decay,
To be once more a little child
For one bright summer-day.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
