Mr. Klaus buying Ireland as a present for Mrs. Klaus… I like the idea.

And with Czech influence we might even get some edible food and really good beer into Ireland…

Hmm, I need to be sure before I definetely choose him as my favourite twat.
There was one guy who said that Poles are responsible for so many car crashes, that they should have lower speed limits. Cute, ain’t it?

Jedrzej – It certainly sounds like the kind of insane idea he would come up with!

Excuse me, is Mr Gormley the same very chap who wanted to differ speed limits according to nationality?

“ordinance ain’t cheap you know”

Don’t I know it! Those Scud missiles cost around €50 each on eBay.

Green Ink – The Greens should have walked over the budget. It contravened most of their stated policies. If they had walked, they at least would have redeemed themselves in the eyes of the public.

I like like to give a sporting chance too – at least five seconds before I start firing.

Ian – You have a point. As a survivor of the John Charles McQuaid era, I can say from bitter experience that they were that Bad Old Days. Unfortunately, if we throw our government out, they just walk straight back in again.

Grandad,

You have to admit that at least it’s better than when the Church (either one) ran things. At least you can throw the Government out every five years; the bishops go on forever.

I wasn’t talking about you Grandad, what I’m talking about comes from comments on various blogs. It’s just funny that people claim to be so disillusioned with them. What were they expecting? Rendition flights and Rossport were the creatures of FF. Tara was already under way. If these Green haters know where the magic wands are they should point them out to John Gormley.
FF had the Greens where they wanted them. The resignations over medical cards changed that. The Greens could now walk and take down the government. That’s the best position a junior partner could be in when it comes to getting what it wants.
I’m not defending the Greens, they were fucking stupid for going into government in the first place. It meant that they had to make consensual agreements at the cabinet table instead of being everyone’s magic moral high ground fairy in opposition.
As for cutting off fingers, I like to give a sporting chance.

tt – Klaus would never be elected in Louisiana. He is neither an angry black nor a former member of the KKK. Louisiana only elects one of the two extremes.
