About freaken time.  I’m waiting more-or-less patiently for my president to do the same.  That’ll be the day.

Thank you to the Irish Prime Minister Mr Enda Kenny for the moral compass his government is providing. We need many more people like him as Presidents and Prime Ministers. By the way, politicians in my country are scared of publicly attacking the catholic church; it is time for those politicians to put children first and their religion second.

As Christians everywhere swill vino at the foot of the cross, an the pontiff fondles himself under frocks embroidered with gold. Frightened children waking to another day besieged by the nightmares of uncles, fathers and clergy pressing them under sweaty glands, a foul stench drifts across the land. LET US PRAY seems apt. But only lrons, may drive the point home, that the young are off limits!
