"WHY can't anyone have a reasonable debate on poverty in Ireland without being accused of classism and neo-liberalism? I'm not a neo-conservative, conquest-hungry man-beast, but I do think it's perfectly practical to consider making soap out of poor people."

 

[Lili Marlene]

A modest proposal?

What no mention of Katy French 'celeb' solicitor Gerald Keane, Michelle Rocca or Glenda in the wikipedia article on the sindo?

actually, i can see plenty of sense in the paralympics, but i find the special olympics slightly disturbing.

Guess what Myers wrote about in today's Indo? Yep, that's right, the story on everyone's lips, even bigger than Maddie..you guessed it..the war in Europe, 1914.

OK OK OK, I’ll tell ya, I don’t know much about newspapers no time for them you know how it is, no you don’t. How could you? You’re a bum. But take my word for it. I’m busy. But tell me this:

Kevin Myers, is his writing, as we say in the business, “unputdownable”? That’s what sell papers folks.

Naw. He's like the dick in your class who humiliates you and all you hold dear in front of everyone, even the teachers are laughing at you, and you're so enraged you can't put together a coherent response to his flimsy arguments until the moment has passed. Your only consolation is he has done it to everyone at one time or another, and despite their laughter no one trusts him enough to be his friend

i'd put him outside the door

esprit d'escalier or 'the wit of the staircase'

You can use that if you like!

Anyrode KM is your classic polemic hack. I think he's Hilario myself but that's mostly to do with the bow-tie, bubble-perm and clipped English accent.

His writing style is horrific, vile as the man might say himself.

There are only about 3 people in the country who have a problem with wearing a poppy, Martin MGuinness is one of them. Yet every year Myers gets about 10 columns out of the Great War and Irishmen who died in it. And he always makes this big drama as if everyone disagrees with him on the subject.

I reckon the shit might really go down if Franz Ferdinand makes that proposed trip to the Balkans. Hard to guarantee his safety there. Not that I'd shed a tear at his demise, he is half a Jerry after all.

Totally agree with you there. He can't let go of his pet-pig.

I'm not into all this remembering the dead shit anyway, regardless of when/where/how. It's the same nationalistic virus in people, idealising the past, whatever way the strain is injected. Marching behind a drum on July 12th, wearing a poppy on November 11, wearing a lily on Easter Monday. It's all symptomatic of the dangerous game of over-idealising the past.
