Brilliant is the word as someone myself whom has seen right thru Sinn Fein for many years and really sneered at there lies this is the best one yet, never thought of the angle but its exactly what has happened, Gerrys picture on a bank mote perhaps ????

Urban_Underclass, A sockpuppet is a term used to describe someone using multiple IDs. It is an abuse of the dialogue. Many blogs including this one don't permit it.

It's the first time that I really understand, that I don't. Yeah, the great Amerikan intellectual will screw up whenever he thinks he will best comprehend the "WORLD". I've learned more than I would have guessed,I would say. Thank you.

Who is Kate?
What is a sock-puppet?

I am confused,

Damn, I was fortunate not to have had men like you in my charge-dangerous is an understatement! I would be honored to be allowed future access to your Blog,Doc-but would easily understand a denial. Best, Respect,and willing to give full identity to you (if you don't publish it) at any time.

For the benefit of all those who missed it, that was a real electronic Long Kesh allegory. One of the inmates spread faeces all over the wall, was caught by a screw, conformed, scrubbed off the mess they had made and squeaky booted it out of here.

(sorry, bad joke)

Willing to out myself, Kate. 3,000 miles from the Northern Six-just south of Canada. Stone Anarchist. Never took the defense for anyone,unless they were my direct charges-yup., I was a screw in a maximum security dead end prison-for human monsters, unlike Long Kesh,which also housed Irish Soldiers, and Stickies(and to hell with the Governor with PTSD,he was in the wrong business). No outing of

2009-09-29T19:33:34.613+01:00

Kate, out of courtesy for others posting comments you will use your blog ID to post or you won't post. We agreed before one ID. Sock puppets can go elsewhere

2009-09-29T19:32:05.259+01:00

uilodomhnaill, you outed Kate. No big deal I guess. Up until then I had no interest in who it was. Anyway she will not be allowed on in future unless she uses her own blog ID. The sockpuppet abuse is not welcome here.

Clever, funny, surreal what more is there to say.

2009-09-28T13:22:23.037+01:00

Anybody enjoy Blues? The insistence on the superiority of the didactic approach reminds me of "The Signifying Monkey". It has always seemed to me that the artist wielding the edged instrument of well honed satire was not at all looking for a fight,but rather executing a precision kill- intellectually-therefore, legally. I hope this piece appears in the press all over Eire! When I

AM,

I thought the article was very funny even if some of it went over my head.

Wonderfulformyage,

Despite being Irish and politically aware since I read The Communist Manifesto at sixteen years of age, I had never heard of the green book before. We aren't all Sinn Fein members in the South.

2009-09-27T21:39:07.608+01:00

Wonderfulformyage, if you think people are picking on you not much I can do about it. The victim complex does not wash here. The fact that I chose a quote from Molly Ivins that appealed to me and the context in which it was offered should have alerted you to the general bias involved in selecting a quote – you, me, everyone else. If you fail to see it, again, not much I can do about that either.

Only when I scrolled down after reading your text did I find, of course, its visual punchline. Great set-up for truly a sad joke.

Great article. It sums up nicely the political situation for 'Republicans' in a very comical way. I could just picture the pandamonium in a "father Ted" scenario.
As for taxi drivers..did the IPLO not try to execute an ex Shankill Butcher who was driving a Belfast black taxi? I have known many ex prisoners who drove taxi's after serving a sentence on both sides of
