As anyone can plainly see . . .

. . . Ireland is green. This is because of the humble bush--Ireland is covered with bushes.

Now, as the folk song instructs us, Ireland is the land of happy drunks. (Feel free to add your own clueless stereotypes of the Irish, i don't mind.)

One fine morning in the month of June
As i was sitting with me glass and spoon
A small bird sat on an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was The Jug of Punch

Toor-a-loor-a-lie
Toor-a-loor-a-lay
Toor-a-loor-a-lie
Toor-a-loor-a-lay
A small bird sat on an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was The Jug of Punch

What more devotion can a man desire
Than to sit him down by a small turf fire
Upon his knee a pretty wench
And on the table a jug of punch

Toor-a-loor-a-lie
Toor-a-loor-a-lay
Toor-a-loor-a-lie
Toor-a-loor-a-lay
Upon his knee a pretty wench
And on the table a jug of punch

Clearly, a happy drunk who gives up the creature will become a sour-pussed, belligerent dry drunk.

Ipso fatso, sozyeroldman, it was a disastrous mistake to have made this dry drunk, Bush (a.k.a., the Shrub) the chief magistrate of our nation.

Dibs on YoYo Ma.

The Irish all have straight hair as they have no Mediterranean or native american ancestry.

Jeez - I didn't realise Bush (or bush) had anything to do with it.

In my experience bush is not green at all, but rather a sort of grey-olive!

appy noo yere!

Mr Jimenez was a close aide of President Manuel Zelaya

Honduran Foreign Minister Milton Jimenez has resigned and apologised after drink-driving and alleged involvement in an incident with police.

He was arrested and held on Sunday after he was caught drink-driving.

At a press conference, he accused the police of using excessive force against him, including punches.

In a statement, the security minister denied punches had been exchanged, and said Mr Jimenez was made to calm down after refusing to take an alcohol test.

A local television channel broadcast a video of the incident recorded on a mobile phone on Wednesday.

"I made the mistake of driving while drunk," Mr Jimenez, who displayed a black eye and bruises, told a news conference on Thursday as he announced his resignation.

Mr Jimenez, who was a close aide of President Manuel Zelaya, is the latest of a number of cabinet members to resign since President Zelaya took office in January 2006.

Only if you distrust a shambolic mess and that's hardly Darwinian I must say.

It is a little known fact that the happiest group of Americans after Bush's 2000 stolen (s)election was the small number of historians who employ psychoanalytic tools when reviewing the events of the past. With his overbearing mother, his coldfish father and the challenges of attempting to plow actual intellectual fields while alcoholically impaired, George W. Bush is a dream come true for those writers of history.

Neither do I...but I believe it is a satire on the pellucid intellectual rigour shown here:

A friend of mine was once driving past the entrance to Bush's ranch and decided to pull over and have a look.
He walked over to the fence and couldn't see much, apart from sun scorched pastures and one solitary cow who stood there, staring straight back at him.
It was then that he had a sudden feeling that he had been there before, and had seen that very same cow.
Thinking it over that evening, he was certain that he'd never passed that way before, and therefore put it down to a case of deja-moo.

No, this: "A militarily incompetent but oil-rich nation to invade."
