has he discovered age reversal magic potion? he was looking 10 years younger that his DL days on the week in politics. maybe he will discover that his ideology of the 80′s is more akin to a solution to the deep mess that his now favoured market capitalism has brought upon us. Who privatised Team Aer Lingus/SR Technics? Answer: FF/Labour.

so my belated tune is the Cowen/Sarkozy tune MGMT kids. http://blip.fm/~3a99n (the younger remix)

And talking of political things… who actually believes the latest opinion poll, released conveniently on the night of the labour party leader’s speech?

Is this to also cover up the news of several resignations by FF local politicians who didn’t get selected by the troika from central office??

(Children of the) Revolution by T-Rex comes to mind… it has the line about you won’t fool the children of the revolution.

Gilmore was trying to reach for the vote of a generation who’ve been betrayed, and it is not a pipe-dream to see those placards with Gilmore of Taoiseach on them. I thought it important tonight that Gilmore linked the present difficulties all the way back to the last time FF f**ked things up in 1977-1979. The metaphor of the ‘perfect circle’ helped frame a rather complex political issue in straightforward terms. He made Cowen’s administration just seem heartless, and rightly so!
