It is a sign of our nation's development over the last $period that there is more ruckus over the Taoiseach's comment that he is a "true socialist" last weekend than over his positive statements on same-sex civil unions during the same interview.

On Comrade Berite's official title that King Mob loves, I do like the story that when Jack Charlton was appointed manager of "the" Irish soccer team [the one south of the border], he met Our Great Leader at some event. He knew it was an official title but misheard it and was subsequently picked up on when he referred to meeting the Tea-shop.
