and the loser is...

...us. the public!

a slackers guide to the irish presidential debate 2011. a mugnificent 7 collection of gombeens, deluded fools, and unfortunates. the good the bad and the ugly of modern ireland. It could only have been worse had pat 'bilderberg' cox have won the fine gael nomination or our ex emperor bertie decided to stand.

still at least we have vincent browne. sigh!

a mad dog president?!?

So bertie came out of his news of the world cupboard to say he was convinced he would have walked the race for the park!
where has he been living these last few years? (in a cupboard?) only muammar gaddafi could touch him for being as deluded and blinded by power and seeing that the gig is up... still he has his gold plated pension to look forward to. and his expenses. and his croke park birthday bash. and so on... sigh!

REVOLTing!

in an episode from yes minister 2011, the prime Minister comments on the recent upheavals in the UK...

morally BANKrupt!

The world is in chaos. England is in flames. meanwhile over at Oldman Snatch our betters discuss events...

The Cloyne Report: ANORAK LIFE'S VERDICT

 

another acronym enters Irish life, says it all really!

this weeks irish times in an alternative reality.

ANORAK LIFE for president!

if reykjavik can elect a crass loving comedian as mayor (really!) why not a 2D slacker as president of ireland?
It has to be better than Gay Mitchell or Pat 'which party am i in now?' -Bilderberg-Cox and any number of people who are famous for being on reality tv or who said something fashionably liberal once.

think gorillaz. but in the phoenix park. or wherever a fictional character lives?

progress irish style

Ah the innocence... the supermodels were bad but our highly paid gombeens now are worse. 

same shit different decade. hello IMF how are ya!

morgan says relax...

1980s - we were broke, in debt and governed by gombeens. 

2011. same shit different decade with a receeding hairline!

Sadly our rock stars are now singing for governments and bankers.

Economics is the new rock 'n' roll. That's progress Irish style.

Ah black friday. an excuse to be gloomy. so leave poor Morgan Kelly alone.
