Complan for the political junkies

Four high-profile resignations in the last couple of weeks, odds of a 2010 election being cut to 7/4 and James Downey on the radio this morning saying a trip to the polls before the Summer is likely - is it time to order in the family-sized packs of Complan?

If not for the politicians (who are looking hagard at best), then for the correspondents and the politicial junkie bloggers and Twitterers?

Barely a day is going by without a national shitfit in the Houses of Oireachtas. Just before the explosive media feeding frenzy, the political news junkies were setting themselves up to track the passage of the Finance Bill 2010 through committee. Yesterday was supposed to be celebratory for the Greens, with a fresh-faced senator in the upper house – instead they lost a former leader and Junior Minister.

Who’s next and who’s up for Berocca?

The Slanket Enda Cometh

It started with a chance tweet on Enda Kenny being out of the media eye in the New Year and then came the thoughts of larging it up Enda in wrapped in a Slanket with the homies in Castlebar. Slanket Enda!

The Lost Santa Letters

As Santa was winging his way around the world tonight, he’s seemed to have lost a pair of letters over my house. Whatever he is doing with them on his sleigh is beyond me.

So, if the owners of these want to claim them, they can pop me a mail.
