Poor representation
Grandad March 10th, 2011
So we finally have a new gubmint.
There has been much talk about the poor gender balance and the lack of females, but there is a far more serious imbalance than that.
As far as I can see, there are only two beards in the entire Dail. This is preposterous and should be rectified immediately. Out of 166 deputies, only Dr James Reilly and Ming the Merciless [and possibly Joan Burton?] have beards which is appalling representation.
I demand that a quota system be introduced. It should be mandatory that at least 50% of candidates have beards. The current situation is unrepresentative of Irish society and should be rectified immediately.
I am prepared to accept a compromise however. If the current men [and possibly Joan Burton?] are prepared to stop shaving then I will bring the matter no further.
In the meantime, I am composing a strong letter of complain to the European Parliament [and possibly Joan Burton?] about the matter.
I demand action.

As smokers make up 25 percent of the population it should also be mandatory that 25 percent of the “gubmint” are smokers.
And 90% wankers.
Oh, wait.
What about Grizzly Adams? And Martin Ferris and Caomhain O’Caolain?
Actually, there’s a strong tren in a certain direction.
Anon – It’s nearer 30% now, isn’t it? I’ll drop down there sometime and see if I can catch them sneaking a quick drag of a fag-end at the gates.
Mossy – You have to admit that there has there has been a remarkable drop off in representation for wankers. Michael Healy Rae got elected…
Ian – You really know how to flatter a bloke. I had forgotten about them, which is probably a good thing.
Let’s march on the Dail!!!
I made the mistake of doing a quick search on Joan Burton. One site had this close up of her. I’m not going to sleep well at all tonight.

Jayzus, Kirk! You forgot to mention the site. Don’t keep us in suspense. Or maybe it’s better that you do?
Okay, you asked for it. Here’s a lovely one from her own website: http://www.joanburton.ie/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Joan-Speaking.jpg
She’s not too bad in that. You should see her in full flood.
Actually you can.
