Number one son beats me to it

Well, looks like the double-F-ers really went for it this morning. Let's not let a silly little thing like a constitutional challenge get in the way of an election. They must have all their t-shirts and stuff printed up already.

I actually had a fairly lengthy post in mind to explain what a seriously dangerous and irresponsible game the Bert is playing by dissolving a Dail while there's a constitutional challenge going on but it turns out that my big brother beat me to it. my post would have been funnier, younger and more handsome but it seems a little redundant now.

The fact that I'm highlighting something Daragh did in a positive light might indicate how important I actually think this issue is. Big tip of the hat to himself for focussing his pedantic super powers on this one.

Massive wag of the finger to Fianna Fail. When you consider Bertie is so ashamd of being the 'laughing stock' of Europe because of our old-fashioned (but verifiable and secure) voting technology he's got a neck like a jockey's arse to then effectively disenfranchise most Leaving Cert and 3rd level students...

Where have I been?

Also, drinking heavily in sunny weather. Will do proper post later. Much to discuss

God, what a commentator

What a goal too

The safe word is Habeas Corpus

Sweet Zombie Jesus,

Have you ever seen such repressed homo-erotic yearning.

There's something deeply disconcerting about the look on Abu Gonzales' face. We've all been in relationships where we tortured ourselves to prove our angst-ridden devotion. This clown just tortures other people.

I suppose the tattered shreds of the US Constitution would make a great Valentines gift... if you wrapped it well enough.

What an unholy cunt

Seriously, I can't believe what a total and utter cunt John Mcain is.

Something a little more verbose

You know, I've been trying to keep my investment of time and language skills to a minimum because I'm probably only being read by some crazy nutballs and whatever of my mates I've informed of my new little hobby (not necessarily a mutually exclusive group) but I suppose I should maybe throw out some thoughts on something I stumbled upon on the McGarr Solicitors website.

So, a legal challenge to the constitutionality of the upcoming election. Sounds intriguing. I know, Murphy and McGrath are the perennial grinches of constitutional propriety and they seem to love harshing everyone else's buzz but in this instance they do seem to be uncomfortably correct in there analysis of the situation. The last census does show a fairly sizable demographic shift in a number of constituencies (to lazy to dig out link look it up), which is really something a goverment sworn to protect and enforce the constititution of the State (it would have been so much easier for them if they'd just had to swear allegiance to the Crown) might have paid attention to.

So we could have a long shot situation whereby the Bert enters the Dail to dissolve the constitutionally created legislature but then be told by the Judiciary that he can't hold an election because the constituency boundaries are FUBARed. Now the reason this worries me is because the FF's really do seem intent on holding an election ASAP even though they're eating shit in the polls. It's almost like they know something we don't


The fact that Dick 'Dastardly' Roche is in charge of the 're-zoning' of electoral constituencies might be at the root of the problem because, all joking aside, that man is the greatest crisis manager the FF/PD's have. So great are his skills of crisis management that he has been known to leave entirely solvable problems alone for years until they become the sort of crises that have citizens of the state doubled over with the shitty squits, just so he can flex his crisis solving muscles.

For whatever reasons those clowns are pushing a quick election while putting the Krisis King in charge of getting their ducks in a row I do see a potential for a good ol' fashioned constitutional crisis. Hopefully the Civil Service might have done a bit of preventitive research into a solution and have managed to attract the attention of the Zap Brannigan's in office* but should they be remiss in their duties and shit does hit the fan I'm buying a gun and settling scores.

See you in the polling booths

*Kif Kroker:
Captain, may I have a word with you?
Captain Zapp Brannigan: No.
Kif Kroker: It's an emergency, sir.
Captain Zapp Brannigan: Come back when it's a catastrophe.
[a huge rumbling is heard]
Captain Zapp Brannigan: Oh, very well.

Not an opportune time...

to have prepared a really insightful post railing against the villanous perfidies of 'rich kids' and 'charlatans'.

Rats, and I was really going to nail those fuckers too.

Is anyone else sorry that 'put yo ass in the puddin' didn't become the biggest tv catch-phrase since D'oh. I think it could have crossed all class and ethnic cleavages and done just a little to bring mankind a little love.


Lord knows we needs it.

I know I say this more often then I should...

But job hunting would be far easier if I was fucking Paul Wolfowitz.

Let's face it, I'm far too lazy to earn the big bucks the hard ways.
