State o' chasis!!

My Lord, this country's political standing is surely in shreds! The election is looming over the heads of candidates and present TDs alike. It's 19 days away or something. But, even without the election, things are sickly.

Possibly the greatest example is the happenings concerning the new M3 motorway. It's planned to cost €850million. Holy Fuck Batman!! This controversial motorway is planned to run through the Tara Skyrne Valley, only 2km from the Hill of Tara, the seat of the High King of Ireland in bygone days. There has been protests against this road, with hippies and the like, camping up there for weeks on end. They feared that the road was going through an area where the probability of finding something of historical value was great. This turned out to be true. The location of a ritualistic site has been found, right in the way of the northbound route of the proposed M3. How fucking convienent.

But what makes this a real cracker is the Government's response, or lack of, in regard to the find. Oh, it's good. Dick Roche, Minister for the Environment was told about the site. He then gave the National Museum a buzz to see what they thought. But, Mr. Roche didn't think of telling his fellow FF fella, and cabinet buddy, Martin Cullen, Minister for Transport. Maybe Dickie didn't think Mr. Cullen needed to know that the state's biggest road plan ever was to be stopped. Twelve days later, Mr Cullen went to Navan to turn the sod ignorant of the development. He started the building of a road that was to be halted about 3 metres down. Oh silly Dickie. Why did you not tell Martin that his class project was facing troubles? Do you have some other agenda? "Heh heh, I don't like you Martin, I'll make you look shit!"

So, as this example shows, not even the fuckin cabinet can talk to each other, or bother their bollocks to do so. My, my. The poor cabinet sure have seen some tough days this term.

Bertie: Well, he's had his fair share of shit. Manchester...finances...businessmen...payments etc. It's come back into the public arena about 14 times now. Answer the questions Taoiseach!

Harney: Well, I'm sure half the country is sick of her face at this stage. It takes up half the page in the broadsheets! That funny video that was on the six one news sums it all up. Destroying a health service for the benefit of the wealthy. Just like the PDs should!

McDowell: Where to begin. He seems to be a right gimp. I was listening to him one day in the Dáil, and I thought to myself, what a gobshite! He wasn't handling Opposition comments too well. I think it was Richard Bruton. Or was it Pat (the Baker) Rabitte? Doesn't matter. Mick was replying with devious little comments that make you wanna say, gimp! Two words....Garda Reserve. What's the deal?! Nowadays, it's the mobiles in Portlaois...will it end?!

Dermot Ahern: Looks like a rat. He also officially owns my passport. Who does he think he is?

Willie O'Dea: This little fella seems to want more power than he has...hmmm. Pointing his guns...He wants to be the big gun.

Decentralisation. It's a big word for the government. They're sticking to their guns (especially Willie) on this one. But, nobody wants to move. Do you blame them? Nope. I don't think I'd want to move to Enda-Kenny-Land, or anywhere like that. If you're interested, here's the website, but I highly doubt you give two shits.

So, the country is in a state o' chasis! I didn't think I'd ever be writing something of this nature, but that's the way it goes. It sucks not having a vote for the coming election. Bollock the register and it February-ness! C'est la vie! Slán leat.
