Leave poor Bertie alone,
the man has done nothing but great things for this country.
he single-handedly brought peace to this island, gave us some years of boom and also was responsible for the hot dry summers of 2006 and I think 1999 also.
The man has done more for this country than DeValera, Lemass, Parnell, Pearse and Tone put together.
He is the greatest leader that ever lived and we should treat him accordingly.
Just take a look at all the great things he has overseen as leader of this great country:
Our health system is a monument to greatness. It is a wonderfully run system where every single person in this country is guaranteed a standard of healthcare bettered only by 70 other countries including rich countries like Cuba.
Our public transport system is now the envy of the world thanks to our Taoiseach. Several buses and trains are in operation now, many with air conditioning and capable of travelling at medium speeds without engines exploding. Our trains are a wonderful service, leaving out that you may have to travel 100km in the wrong direction to get a train.
Our roads: Our 100km of motorway are first rate and our primary and secondary roads are also excellent when you take the time to slow down and avoid the swimming pools kindly built into the roads by county councils.
Our broadband network is among the best in the world. Here i am typing away at record speed on a modem capable of whopping 56k speeds. It's running at 36 at the moment but that's only because there are two people using internet at the minute. Fair enough, if I was in a big town I'd have 2MB. Who needs that 10mb stuff they have in England and France anyway?
Our Education system has gone from teaching silly things like maths, English and Irish to teaching kids about important things like their feelings and sex education. Now kids will be able to go safely into the world of work knowing that their feelings will help them diagnose hyperglycaemia in a patient that is sitting in front of them when they become doctors.
Also, the new Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) programme has ensured the country of many genius graduates leaving our schools and becoming involved in many worthwhile jobs such as government artists (drawing dole).
Anyway, here I have only listed a few of the great man's achievements. Some other day I will go through in detail, how Bertie gave away a load of gas and oil off our coast so that we wouldn't have to be hindered by the refining process and then having to sell it off for huge profit so that Ireland would be richer than Saudi Arabia.
A great and innocent man - Leave him alone
Good day to you all.

St Patrick's Day - Irish Style
In Chicago, They dye the river green to celebrate St Patrick's Day. In Ireland, the Liffey runs murky grey on "Paddy's Day".
Ireland needs to look at itself very hard after yet another disgraceful display of drunken antics for all the tourists to see.
No longer is mass well attended with a sprig of shamrock or a St Patrick's day ribbon pinned on a good suit or jumper.
No, we have replaced this with giant novelty green leprechaun hats and inflatable shamrocks to be adorned on puke stained t-shirts and tops.
Throughout the world, St. Patrick's Day was celebrated in a dignified manner by ex-pats and natives of these countries alike. Not so in this festering cess pool of sin that we now call home.
The Celtic Tiger has made us different, you see We may have gained some wealth (that too is debatable when we see recession hit us like a ten tonne truck)
The people in ireland are indisputably less friendly than we used to be. We have become monstrous creatures capable of harming each other on dink fuelled binges of violence.
we do not need a reason any longer to lash out.
Take Finglas on Monday.
I can't imagine this happening in the 1980s without massive public outcry. However, two days later it is already forgotten about.
Not nice at all but some other crime will occur today which will take away from those horrific scenes.
Another question emerges from all this.
What were our brave boys in blue doing?
The disturbances were reported early in the day but PC Plod et al did not arrive til very late on.
You see our cowardly guards are afraid of these little thugs because they might fight back. Yet these same cowards are well able to act like thugs when they know their victims will not fight back.
It was very easy for 250 of our finest to give hidings to men women and children in North Mayo, safe in the knowledge that these people wouldn't fight back.
Cowards and Bullies,
I salute you.
Signing off.

Bertie @ Mahon
Hi,
How many lies exactly does that f**ker have to tell before people believe he is a crooked, lying, sneaky, snivelling little snake? Today, our magnificent one told the Mahon tribunal that £5000 unexplained might have been an inheritance from his father. What? Is this the truth? No. What this is, however, is another attempt to gain the support of the moronic voters who believe that poor Bertie should be left alone. I can just hear the conversations over the tea in living rooms throughout the country - "Oh poor Bertie! How can they expect him to remember anything about that? His father had just died. The poor man was probably still in shock. Why don't those mean people down at the tribunal just leave him alone?" Why indeed. The only thing poor about Bertie is his lack of general speaking and writing abilities. His explanations are poor as well but until citizens are forced to take IQ tests before being allowed to vote, that's not going to affect his chances of being re-elected. It really must be the tip of the iceberg when you don't even remember where small amounts of money like £5000 come from. Just like I didn't remember where that tenner that appeared in my back pocket the other day came from. As it turned out, I was still in a state of semi-consciousness when my wife told me in the morning to get milk on my way home from work (I didn't and to be honest I still don't believe she told me to get it). She's great though. Thing is, if i'm held accountable for €10 I spent on two pints in the evening and will remember why I shouldn't have spent it for years to come, how can Bertie not remember 5k?
God Bless

Wednesday's child
Hi,
Today, my brother had a child. Well he didn't but his wife did. Obviously.
I immediately began thinking to myself about the country that this child is born into. Will the child be akin to a child of the eighties which I am? Will the child not know the glories of the money rich 90s kids who lived a life of richness til the age of 30 while still sponging off their parents?
I also began to wonder if we really are richer today than we were in the 1980s. I got to thinking about the huge levels of debts that we have amassed since we left college. Last month, I paid several bills including phone, credit card, mortgage and car loan. I remembered back to the 1980s and thought about the bills faced by my own parents. They didn't qualify for a credit card. They built a lovely house through scrimping and saving. No mortgage. We didn't have a phone in our house until the mid 1990s and they also paid for their car through scrimping and saving. They also had 9 beautiful children + me, which made 10. Were we any worse off? No. All ten of us went to college. We all worked part time throughout college and gained high honours. We are, all of us, professionals now. And we are all crippled with debt which is going to haunt most of us for a further 30 years. My new nephew is the first niece or nephew in our family. No one has had a child outside of marriage, touch wood, because we were brought up to believe that it wasn't a stable environment to bring children into until we were married and had a proper house to bring a child into. Somehow, I believe that we were richer then. Despite our government telling us that we have never had it so good, I don't believe it to be true. We owe more money now than our parents did then. Our health system, if anything, has deteriorated to an extent that it is pathetic. Our roads are still of a third world standard (and those that aren't are blocked up with traffic) and our literacy and numeracy skills are sliding off the scale. Children are now being taught science in National Schools, even though they don't know how to write properly. The study SPHE before they can do their 12 times tables. They enter secondary school as idiots, and it's getting worse every year. I don't blame the teachers in National Schools or Secondary. I believe they do a great job and the good ones aren't getting paid half enough. They are merely following the curriculum laid down for them by our wonderful government. Why? SPHE is the brainchild of a few government departments to stem the abuse of alcohol, drugs and so forth and also to teach kids about sex. Therefore, this takes all blame away from parents. If my child gets pregnant, becomes a drug addict or an alcoholic, whose fault is it? The teachers. God forbid, there's no way my child would have got involved in these things if the school taught her properly about safe sex and how not to use drugs. Every damn thing that's wrong in society - It should be incorporated into the education system. Meanwhile, the children then come out with 200 points in their leaving certs and it's the teachers who are to blame. Never mind that the number of classes per subject has been cut to allow for this shit to be taught to kids. Parents, take some f**king responsibility for your own kids. Now, I'm not a teacher. I wouldn't dream of doing it because I've seen friends of mine leave the profession in their droves because they have been verbally and physically abused by kids. When their parents come in, they stand up for the kids and by the by there people, schools don't even have the power to expel the kids anymore, even if they thumped the living crap out of a teacher or fellow student.
My nephew is going to grow up in possibly poorer times than the children of the 1990s. I hope to God that he grows up to be well adjusted in this shit state, which Fianna Fáil continue to congratulate themselves for. Thanks very much lads, you've done a great f**king job. And Bertie, you horrible illiterate weasel. Enjoy your time in America preaching to congress. Clearly, they don't mind corrupt f**kers like you. I hope your address is written and read properly. You can always blame your school if isn't

The St Valentine's Day Massacre - Bertie Style
Dear Everyone,
On Thursday, our esteemed leader Mr Bartholomew Ahern will go to the courts to stop a tribunal from hearing evidence on his past descrepancies.
It's hard to imagine a greater admission of guilt than that. Cardinal Connell was widely attacked, and rightly so for trying to stop an investigation on the way the hierarchy of the Catholic church dealt with abuse claims. Yet, when the issue of Bertie's attempts to effectively gag the tribunal came on the six one news last night, the Bean an Tí said: "Wouldn't ya think they'd leave poor Bertie alone. It's clear the man is innocent." Yes. "As innocent as Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson," I thought to myself but thought better of saying it in case the cup of tea that was nourishing me would be taken from me and I would then be turfed out onto the cold road (It was a lovely warm day yesterday but the lack of cloud cover meant a cold night last night.)
It's astounding to think that this man has survived this long (politically I mean, because in life snakes and weasels have a long life expectancy). He has gradually stripped away civil liberties for ordinary people while building up huge walls of rights around himself. Mark my words. #if and when it becomes more apparent that the money Bertie got from a few businessmen is the tip of a very large iceberg, that tribunal will die a sorry death. I am of the firm belief that the death of Liam Lawlor was no accident. He had something hanging over
bertie that was huge. Where better for a man to have an accident than in a country where the cops are nearly as easy to buy as the ones here? I guess that a few people with skeletons in closets better be careful lest they should become one themselves.
with love,
your Valentine

Friday Blues
I noticed with interest the remarks by our great leader yesterday.
It was just a strange coincidence that he managed to get a passport for a guy around the same time that he makes a donation to Fianna Fáil (which remains unaccounted for). This man, according to Der Taoiseach, was a child of an Irish citizen and poor oul bertie would do the same for any other Irish person. On my trip to Belgium last year for a weekend with a recently departed lover (she didn't die, she just left for another guy), i realised my passport had gone through the wash. I went to Dublin, a week before my trip. Was told i'd have to come back again later in the week to get it again. Just because I love going into the rotten pool of corruption twice a week. I rang Bertie at the time, me being a child of an Irish citizen and indeed an Irish citizen myself. Unfortunately, due to the fact I did not have $10,000 or more I would have to make that second journey after all. Also, this child business. Are we to believe that this man was about 6 when he wanted this passport? He had more money than me when I was six. Although I didn't do my first communion until I was seven, the Post Office still didn't see that much money heading their way.
Ah well, I wonder what today will throw up for our illiterate leader? Will the plank in opposition try something new today? Or like his namesake in RTE, will he remain about as stimulating as an ugly girl when you're sober?
Only time will tell.
By the way I'm predicting Liverpool will give a hiding to Sunderland this weekend. They'll be smarting from West Ham and will probably take it out on these guys.
Totally irrelevant but it's a valid point.
Have a nice weekend losers
