This is not my poem but I am printing it here for the Lady who is now in charge at the Irish Times. The lady who commented recently that Anti-Capitalist Activists are ignored by the ‘mainstream’ and that this is done at the ‘peril’ of the mainstream. This is the lady who employs Paddy Agnew as an Italian Correspondent. Paddy ignores the descent of Italian Political life into a form of soft totalitarianism. Paddy consistently repeats the bullshit about Genoa propagated by Berlusconi over a year ago. The Irish Times (suddenly concerned at the appearance of a Million people in Florence) prints an editorial that shows how little they know or care about the ground that is shifting under their feet. Lip service only. Rely on the Guardian for report on Florence. Seattle happened in 2000 according to Geraldine K last week. Guess who hasn’t been keeping track of the News.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3time being thought often as chronicity
i thought to synch something though for most
it shall have been to late to experience with fore knowledge if such is meant by this achronous cyber ramble.
At dawn there will be visible in Europe a meteor shower, sometimes greenish in colour, it contains many wonderful bits of Mars which is coming to its closest with Earth for a long long time.
Now I collect condrites so if any of you are out and about tomorrow and you see small stones either black or greenish black in colour on the ground with a smooth pointed slightly conical ending I´d really be happy if you "contacted" me and said Mr O´ asif "I´ve got myself a condrite...what do I do next?"
to find out more about such things go to

or

and that´s alright to put on indymedia coz the thread has begun with a cut and paste based crosspost from the Irish Times about Geraldine Kennedy´s disinformation sort of stuff.
but sure there you go.
~~~~condrites are cool if u no what they do~~~~
we do letters, posters, replies, notes, post-its, novels, books, movie script treatments, internet pages by the gigabyte, faxes, research documents, thinktank policy suggestions, complaints, small adverts, pamphlets, mass leaflets, postage stamps, bus-stop advertising, stencils, and news.
We do accuracy, passion, and globalism.
we don't do spellcheck.
¿is the Dunsink observatory open to the public yet for watching the small planetary bodies and things of interest?
I'd love to read the Irish Times, but on the 13th of September "that year" due to unprecedented inteference in internet systems, many accounts were lost, including the one I had had, in the "migration" of data from the original Ireland.com database to the new. Nothing to do with Geraldine K. Thereafter the Ireland.com site became subscription only.
And Douglas Gagesby went on a moulderin in his grave.
Geraldine K, came to house hold recognition for being the thinking man's woman on the Late Late Show. She then flirted with a political career standing for the constituency of Dun Laoighaire for the Progressive Democrats, a constituency then racked by economic division between the coastline of relative prosperity and the other areas with exceptional penetration of Heroin Marketing.
She only served a short term, standing down later, feeling a political representative career did not serve either her interests or perhaps those of her party.
There has been a lot of water under the bridge since.
There have been many bridges.
There have been a lot of meteorite showers as well, and small planetary bodies have been found, there have been many scripts that were writ again, and many that were just too boring to give credit,
and all the time
Leaders and Politicans and Careerists have climbed the hills of their ambition doing what they had to do and then passed into the slow accumalative disgrace of our craft to the hard-back memoires of their own selective fictional recollection.
And Myles na gCopoleen went on a moulderin' in his grave.
Glory Glory Geraldine.
