Political Conjugations Sat Dec 20, 2025 07:00 | James Alexander Everyone assumes that words have straightforward meanings. Philosophers because they want them to and politicians because they need them to. But the first law of politics is that words are ambiguous, says James Alexander.

Monday June 27, 2005 01:51 by iosaf very late at night. - (this would have made a better movie than indymedia article) [ yeah. movies. we're all going]

It has long been observed, that on Sunday the mass does different things.
Some go to church, some return from clubs and sleep, some read a book, some do the gardening, some catch up with their kids, some eat a lot, some practise yoga, some Vote.
It has long been valued that on their non-banking days people are pretty much the same as when they work, graft, toil and sweat. Except they have less money making opportunities. This facilitates their increased participation in their society as citizens and nationals of the Civilised World.
It has long been observed that the mass on their non banking days readily absorb shite.
This is why coups are most successful on the weekend, and elections as well.
It is on your non-banking days that you are presented with the most filagree woven tissues of spirit and lie, ghost and truth. It is through weekend that we have considerable space in your head.
In today's edition :- "being counted"
 unknown models posing for Cranach the elder in unknown times. As many keen readers of indymedia ireland might have noticed, there is a series of articles which focusses on "how so & so voted and not voted".
A regular item which looks at the exercise of democratic franchise from county councils and city municipal authorities, to regional governments complete nation states.
I'm so terribly sorry I haven't been able to keep up.
Democracy is everywhere now you see, and almost all of the planet earth's human population have secured the right to vote, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, creed and in secret.
Some people like to ink their thumbs.
We call this "regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, creed and in secret" a basic human right, one which the type of civilisation would you believe it, we have spent arguably nine generations in developing, cherishes.
There have been elections in Hungary and Iran.
In Iran the muslims won, and in Hungary the socialists beat the former king. Remember those two facts in case they come up in version 7.2 trivial pursuits. "the muslims won in iran". "the king lost in hungary". [very good place for a weekend break budapest].
Now, as the most victorious amongst are noticing,
since we thrashed the €U constitution, our work is almost done.
THE WORLD IS DEMOCRATIC.
& willing to prove it, for the world will send its finest to either sit outside the G8 meeting or if there very very very lucky sit in for day. Only the very special will get to sit in "on the day". We can't even guarantee the presence of two pop musically distinctive generations of Irish (dublin) musicians.
NO WE CAN'T.
So, being the type of activists and intellecktshuals, and so on, that can grasp the basic nettle, we must recognise that since the world is now democratic, there is only one thing left.
THE IMAGE OF THIRD WORLD POVERTY
I hope the kind reader realises I am being satirical in the shouting capital letters every few sentances, you see that's what they teach you in tabloid land, your penultimate paragraph can be as long winded and waffling as you like, you might eventhink to completely cut and paste the intro. again, as most readers will just belooking at the pictures and reading the last paragraph even if they bother, must have better things to do with themselves, its almost 2am CET that means it almost 1 am in ireland, total bolloxed sunday papers this week. It has long been observed, that on Sunday the mass does different things.
Some go to church, some return from clubs and sleep, some read a book, some do the gardening, some catch up with their kids, some eat a lot, some practise yoga, some Vote.

ACTION NEEDED
We must accept therefore that action is needed, concerts and cinema places must be filled, and both rabid churchgoer cathurlick and calvinist alike, and lumpen proletariat must throw off the shackles of irresponsibility and accept that
POVERTY MUST BE ENDED.
