Priorities in a world gone mad

Am I the only blogger on the island of Ireland who didn’t post anything yesterday?

Possibly. Though I was a little busy planning a street party…

A thought based on today’s coverage of ‘recent’ events:

What is wrong with us as a nation, that the airwaves are full of people complaining that while Brian Cowen is undoubtedly very intelligent and well able to run the country, because he’s quite grumpy looking and a bit unfriendly he isn’t a suitable candidate for Taoiseach?

Not surprising I suppose, from people who will re-elect the sitting government time and again while actively complaining about the state of our health service, education system and transport infrastructure. But it has to be said, the appearance of grumpiness versus the admitted use of political donations for personal use? Are ye joking?

News just in: Dermot Ahern is out of the running – let the coronation begin, grumpy or not.
