One is astounded to see, when watching RTE’s several news programs across their multiple TV stations, as when with subtitles on:- That when people are speaking English, their utterances are displayed in English subtitles ( but then, not always correctly). However, in the same news reports if a persons is speaking in Irish, an official language of The State, the only subtitles displayed about their utterances is the legend “speaks in Irish”. Apparently it is beyond the wits of RTE’s Executives and it’s technicians to give the same respect and equality of service, to all the nations citizens,But then, maybe ,they are just using this form of silencing of the national language to banish us all, “to Hell or Connacht”, or Connaught as Cromwell would have called it.

Surly, for the American electorate, who already know how the current President acts, performs and conducts himself in that esteemed office, they must, most ardently yearn to hear a concise statement of what the alternative candidate advocates? They certainly did not get to hear that!

Start of a new week. The pelican series will come to an end soon. As soon as I finish my pelican book! I realized after drawing the pelican above that I have drawn him before. See below. 5 years are between both drawings. Which one do you prefer? I remember that the one below took […]

Flying High II — Melanie Franz

While watching the polished but pathetic responses of Phil Hogan, during an interview on RTE News this evening. One was very pleased to hear the not very publicly mentioned fact that, Enda Kenny, declined to attend the said event.

Enda Kenny specifically declared it was not a suitable thing for him to attend.
