impatient, obnoxious, petty, argumentative, and obsessed over meaningless details
This is what I was looking for a while back, actual reasons to vote for the Presidential candidates instead of the bizarre Apprentice/Dragons Den/Masterchef/X-factor style campaign we were subjected to in past weeks. Of the Aras11 seven, only Mitchell, Higgins and (to a lesser degree) Norris actually understand the role of the presidency. That role [...]
It is time for the election of the head of state and here are the candidates.This version of the photo was on the Irish times website but has moved now. I wonder if it was taken down possibly because it makes 6 of them look like fools. I would vote for Michael D purely because [...]

Spotted on Northumberland Road, long after the election is over. Respect to the creator.
irishelection.com: John ‘I love going to the races’ O’Donoghue says: I will accept the verdict of informed judgement, but not the verdict of the disingenuous. I will accept the judgement of my peers after their careful reflection of all the facts and fair procedures. I will not allow my life in public service to be [...]
The Lisbon vote was and is a bit of a sham. In June last year people were told by the government to vote yes and not to ask any questions. It was plain arrogant by the government. EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy admitted he had’nt even read the thing. The No campaign were well funded and [...]
As if we needed our pig farmer turned politician telling us how Nama helps those moronic property developers: Ned O’Keeffe (FF TD, Cork) said yesterday in the Dáil debate: “It is with great pride that I support my Minister, Deputy Brian Lenihan, in introducing this wonderful and badly needed rescue of the economy, property developers [...]
