Meanwhile On Another Channel...

Those nice people over at Irish Elections have asked me to contribute to the collective efforts to blog the upcoming election. So, after you've seen my (politics related) cartoons here you can see them again here! Laugh twice at the same joke! Hurrah!

Celtic Tiger Infected with Parasites But Refuses to Scratch

Good strategy Michael. Allow things to get so bad that when you do get the finger out over violent crime you'll look really, really electable. Don't leave it too late though, you don't want your voters getting plugged on the way to the ballot box.

Concerned

Dear Concern,

Thank you for the change of address card.

I especially like the glossy photograph and the faux handmade paper print effect. I see what you did there: it's like I actually received a card from a real refugee! Nice touch! And the handwritten note inside:

So you are looking for a donation to help a families return to their villages in the DRC. That's super!

But why do I get the feeling that my donation goes to fund ridiculously expensive fundraising campaigns?

Discreet Terror Attack on London...

Given the contamination of various sites and people around London after the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, shouldn't this now be treated as a full-blown terrorist attack on London as well as a single murder investigation?

Stoking Publicity

Does Paul Stokes, the inventor of a device to end all road traffic accidents (what is it? a pen-knife? a teleporter?), see any irony in promoting it by trying to park on the punters in Montrose?

Master of Rhetoric Reassures the Nation...

Just in case you missed this during the week, here's Bertie's cast-iron commitment that Shannon is not being used for rendition flights:

"I looked at the great President Bush and said to him I wanted to be sure to be sure- and he assured me."

He then easily drank three pints of Bass and drove home.
