It Is Finished

The great Catholic cathedral of St. Mel’s, centre of catholic control in Longford since 1856. A sign of the times perhaps? Who knows. Maybe when a whole lot more get burned down the message will be clearer. As for the Catholic Church in Ireland; they can no longer lay claim to the moral authority that they insist is their stock in trade. They threw it away when they choose pedophilia – it was always just a matter of time after that decision.

Accordion in Acoustra

This is from a recent unplugged in Phil Flannery’s on Denmark street. The Acoustra gig is always unique and entertaining. These guys are just magic.

The accordion that Pat is playing here is an Italian made piece of wizardry from the Serenellini factory in Loreto. He plays it really well. Blues on accordion is a wonderful sound.

Sligo People -v- Corruption

One protestor with a very apt message for the scum that purport to have the interests of the town as motivation for their actions. They don’t. I believe their motivations are exclusively cash based. Exclusively; cash in their pockets.

Politicians, I believe are the most stupid and troublesome people on earth. Consistently, in every county (and every country) they have shown their petty and peevishly greedy motivations. Always greed, an almost criminal desire for personal wealth, even on the pitiful petty local level as I believe is the case today in Sligo. Always, the politician’s sole purpose is to gain cash in pocket. These small minded local councillors are petty minded in the extreme. Meanwhile the citizenry get to suffer. (Fuck ‘em! say the councillors).

Aerospace Industry Collapse?

I would just ask this; why would Northrop Grumman, the manufacturer of this magnificent all-weather early warning command and control airplane, the E-2 Hawkeye, send me an advertisement trying to sell me one? Feck, and don’t get the wrong message here, I would love to have one but, realistically; where would I get the cash to pay for it?

Are Northrop Grumman that badly off? Strange indeed.

John Wrinkler’s Air Cavity System Creates a Slippy Ship!

So simple and seemingly seriously effective. Well done to the inventor John Wrinkler. Superb use of intellectual ability and innovative thinking.

Pencil Story

A grandmother explains. From Paulo Coelho’s blog, a short story worth reading.

Ireland – Owner of a Rotten Heart

“This is an isolated incident. I wish to express my sympathy to the parents of the child and I can assure them that nothing of the like will happen again.”

From the Minister for Education in response to Deputy Captain Cowen in 1954 following an incident of abuse of a fourteen year old boy by a Christian brother in the Artane Industrial School.

It is clear to me that the Department of Education and all successive Ministers in that department have been fully aware of ‘clerical’ abuse ever since that time – and probably for many years prior. Within this Dáil Eireann report there is not one single mention of any crime or criminal act. There is a clear example however of the spin put on the incident whereby the focus of the entire response by the Minister was on how the Brothers were devoted and caring people incapable of doing anything other than living up to the ethos set by the Orders founder.

This ’spin’ hasn’t changed a lot. The Catholic Church is unquestioningly an evil entity. Don’t forget, it is their own teachings that tell us that the Devil’s greatest ability was to have us all believe that he doesn’t exist.

- Oh fuck!

Well guess who’s calling the shots right now over in the Vatican?

- Holy shit!

Do you require further prompting? How much more before the Church is shut down, proscribed and all it’s members incarcerated?

How much more people?

Jessica

I’ll tell you, I wouldn’t fancy having to do that but Jessica has no problem with it. I’d love to be there though. I can only imagine what it would be like. An entire ocean space all to myself. Appeals to me.

Willie “Scumbag” O’Dea

This is the “Christmas” card sent to me by the Minister for Defence – Willie ‘Scumbag’ O’Dea. This was done at the expense of the taxpayer – (including myself) and who knows how much it has cost us having the likes of that scumbag O’Dea and his fellow parasites in Dáil Eireann also doing this.

I ripped it up and dumped it.

Willie along with his co-conspirators in the biggest theft from citizens in history of this State will be dumped too – shortly.

MRSA Finally Mastered

Seemingly, in the Sligo Institute of Technology researchers have made quite a discovery. MRSA, the superbug doing the rounds in our hospitals; thanks in large part to the arrogant attitude of our doctors who just won’t wash their hands, can be killed by certain essential oils.

Oil from cloves, as above, lemongrass, citronella, thyme and cinnamon. I think this is brilliant, really good news. I just don’t know how long it will be before the discovery will make its way in to the hospitals where it is urgently needed.
