Hilary Clinton appeared on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman’ last night. The show has more bad than good jokes and Letterman seems to see the show as a congratulatory award for him being so brilliant. Nevertheless, his is the most watched late night show and Hilary needs to get the sense of humour, personability […]

FOX News, the news broadcaster of record for Israel, circumventer of facts and world record holder for over use of the term alert has been giving much coverage to the decision of Katie Couric, the lead anchor for CBS evening news, to travel to Iraq to cover the ongoing conflict. The thrust of the argument […]

I was really taken aback last night watching the special BBC investigation into dog-fighting going on in Northern Ireland. The individuals involved are beyond any form of redemption in my eyes, profiting from such brutality and their disrespect for animals is disgusting.

Lets all hope this marks the beginning of the end. Tuathal wrote a great piece a while back on a number of options to bandy all these sorry excuses for TV together, as a method of eliminating the existence of this TV format and the careers (or the subsequent revitalisation of said careers) of those […]

So Pat Rabbitee is gone and so shall start the banding about about how his pact with FG was the reason that Labour failed to make any gains. But it was not. The reason that Labour failed to make gains is that no one really cared for their policies or more accurately their perceived policies.

Looking for an appropriate analogy for the Bourne Ultimatum, Ronseal comes to mind. Hitting on a winning formula and applying it has endured three times now, weathering the rule of diminishing returns which often leaves sequels reduced to poor, faded imitations.
