reaction to photos and the visit

CAD one is gone.
He's in Turkey.
They got bombed to say greet him.
He's gone and laid a wreath to Ataturk.
Their workers are going to get the chop.
You in Ireland have accomplished one of the Geopolitically most succesful protests in the most creative and wideband way with wonderful results.
Ceasar is still however a Wookie, Militarist Fetishist, and ordinary people and well paid Levant type Oil workers are still getting blown up for it.

the EU - USA summit is something the Wookie can't really fuck up. Believe it or not most of the ghouls who came with him, are actually fairly sussed at writing faxes and emails and post-its and had worked with their "equal number" in the Merrovinginvanjan Beurocracy which is the modern EU. You can now take your mobile with you on holliers to the States and it will use our Galileo satelite.
Wonderful isn't it?

so, the deal on Iraq is basically the one which China, France asked for, though they didn't really ask for it, it was more heavy than that.
And it is acceptable to the Soviet interim troika of Putin's Russia. This is Europe's "eastward" circle of influence. We call it the trans-Ural relationship.

The compensation for that was the passing of that questionable air traffic file sharing.
Nobody is happy about that. Bush was also allowed talk about Turkey. One can almost imagine the well tutored Ahern leaning over and whispering "What do you know about Cyprus Mr President?".

So the merrovinginvans are happy enough. Cad one is in Turkey and entering the fifth day running of exceptionally poor homeland press. even if he is President again, it will more on our terms.

He can't really go out and sing Dixie with a smile, if not only Cinema (Micheal Moore) but Theatre as well (Herald Tribune and Washington post carried macbeth) and all those Irish Americans who know how many tanks we have, (and they are a considerable lobby) are saying "rude things". & they did.

Mr Bush may be the best president ever ever.
He may merit all the praise he throws on the most menacing leaders in our world, but he is not a European style U.S. President.
And that is his problem. And the ambassador wheeled out to condemn to RTE, anti-Bushism as Anti Americanism really ought have learnt that during his tenure as diplomat in Europe.

Bush is wrong for us. He doesn't play saxophone. He didn't go on MTV. He didn't bomb the pesky Serbs. He didn't get a blowjob. No-one has seriously tried to impeach him. He did Cocaine. He admitted to having a drink problem. We have the Senate or "lords". He comes from a dynasty of one generation. Our landlords come from dynasties of one millenium. He speaks Spanish. We speak Catalan. He doesn't like condoms. Europe makes and uses more condoms than any other continent. We invented the condom.
He likes Bart Ahern. We hate Bart Ahern.
ah now, we do not hate Bertie Ahern.
no.

The time for the really secret part of our preparations for the visit of Brolly One the Wookie has come.

In which you will learn of the last minute exchanges of faxes and phone calls between the ministry of justice "Camp X" and defence "operation Scorpion" and me. Of how we conditioned Ahern for weeks before hand, floating his name as EU successor to Prodi. I went to great lengths, I even covered the flash cards on the back of his goggles with sparkley stuff. Ah yeah, comrades, journalists, gullible conspiracy heads,
we worked with an Taoiseach, developing the Bart side of his personality-
Working out on step every day. to get that spring in his step. And when the time came, man did he jump!

Jumping up and down, waving his podgey hand around "here I am!" "Check it out!". "jayzhush it's the European Flag and the US flag and the Irish Flag all together".
"have you seen the tanks?" "fucking great"
Bertie, you are one sad careerist-
However The Bush in Ireland project could not have been achieved without your energy, duplicity, cunning and ambition.

Thank you on behalf of as many people who can see it clearly for what it was going to be, what it was and it will come to mean.

Great couple of days.
Almost better than May day.


***********************

Now look how the others do/did/will do
their Caesar Gig.

President Wookie is reported in the mainstream U.S. press as having left a wreath at the grave of Ataturk, oh yeah, admiring the soldiers "I like soldiers", and expressing the opinion that Turkey is ready for Europe. "I like turkey"."i like Europe".

The thinking man's First American, put it thusly in Ireland (no doubt you all noticed)- "As Turkey meets the EU standards for membership, the European Union should begin talks that will lead to full membership for the republic of Turkey," he then rather significantly added...
"Turkey is a proud nation that successfully blends a European identity with Islamic traditions,".
Man when he goes into the virtues and vices, Bertie did he give you any of that?

Fuck off. It's our union. You're not a merrovinginvanjan. Mr Bush.

If we don't get equal voting rights as the United States of America then the USA doesn't get a let in telling our 25 states what to do. You ever make it a Executive, Army Senate and so answerable to 76 states and we'll wear fur hats. We are merrovinginvanjans and that's what we'll stay.


We disagree with you over the question of slavery and torture.
that's important.
I should have told Giscard to put that in the new pamphlet.
1º we disagree with the other continental union on the priniciple of supreme executive power being held by one person regardless of how brilliant they were or who their parents were.
2º we didn't invent the cheesburger.
oh yeah.
We are the merrovinginvanjans.
we drink.
wine. and grain. vinjin.-
we sail.
mer
we wander
rov
and we got roots yes sir yankee we got vanjans. Loads of the fuckers. The mountains and forests are full of them.

Now you just got to see inside one of our Castles. And we moblised one third of our small nation's defence capablity and the very best of our protesters in a ring a ring a rosy pantomime to tell you
FUCK OFF!

now it's over to the turk.

They are telling him to fuck off as well.

if you've got time to read other stuff-
the guardian's Nick Kettle on the power of blogging.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/story/0,3605,1248057,00.html
Wal Mart is being taken on by Betty Dukes a former check-out counter assistant who was passed over for promotion on sexist grounds.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/supermarkets/story/0,12784,1248349,00.html
the effin police in Engurland are complaining again about smokers.
It's taken years to get them to soften their attitude on cannabis smoking, and so many iniatives have been tried, scrapped, returned to, it's like- wow man relax.
or go catch a gun toting crack dealer and free his bitches from slavery.
It's like your choice.
