Brian Cowen Smoked Dope!
First let me say a big whoop-a-dee-doo!
Who really cares what he did back in the 70's. Unless of course he killed someone or embezzled a load of money or beat some children. He didn't so who cares?
Although is it the start of his play for the top job? Clear out the skeletons....
What really struck me first was the lazy jounalism, some "journalists" read in hotpress that he smoked dope, so they write an article about that. That must have been difficult!

Politicians are children
In today's election news, Michael McDowell and John Gormely got into a slanging match in the street.
We vote for people like this to run the country when they are exactly the wrong type of person to run a country. We don't need childish egotists to run the country!
Read the article to the end, do you think Lucinda Creighton turned up because she had a good one liner??

The Evening Herald
I just walked passed a newspaper seller and today's headline says Harney's husband gets health service contract. Now I refuse to buy the rag but I wonder is there anything untoward happening there? As minister for health, does Mary Harney make such decisions or is it the HSE?
And is Mary Harney's husband a director of said company or just an employee? Enlighten me as I'm not going to buy the paper?
It got me to thinking about the lack of media outlets in Ireland. Independent News & media pretty much run all the evening newspapers in Ireland. This means these paper(is there more than one?) have a huge influence over the election, and printing sensational crap instead of actual journalism just doesn't held informed debate over actual issues in this election.
Let's ignore anything to do with Bertie's finances, or Mary Harney's husband. Let's talk about making this country better, better hospitals, better schools, safer streets etc.
Let's have a debate!
