” Who are you calling ‘Mr Del Monte’ ”

“Does my face look big in this? ”

” We’re Gonna need a bigger mike ”

” What the hell kind of magic mirror are you anyway? ”

” I’m not drunk yet sonny ”

” Buy me another five drinks and I’ll wear it as a hat ”

” Don’t look at my knees, you might see my chins ”

” Hey, you got the lips right ”

” Who would have thought that a Barney suit would have looked so well on you? “

I quote a wise man

Homer: Are you saying you’re never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

We’ve just been given “the all clear” for the “Sick Pig Syndrome” from Europe, dare you believe it? I feel that the Irish public are becoming Homers “wonderful, magical animal” a great laughing stock of Europrean breeds stuffed to the hilt with pisioned reteroric and misfead pamphlets of beauracratic food for ‘escaping the scandal’ thoughts. If we were an endangered species then our Polititians would find a way to keep their jobs alive in their cold dead fingers

I’d like to wish all of you the Great Irish people around the country a safe and happy Christmas, no matter what you eat, you are still Irish.

George Orwell said “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” I’d rather be an honest animal

The Taoiseach, a worried Brian Cowen took the risky move of “express(ing) his desire that the relationship would continue”  What’s this Brian, you’ve only just met the guy, calm down and “that it was now a mature, two-way relationship” Hold on just how long has this been going on? Holding back are we? Got secrets to tell, a couple of skeletons in the closet maybe?

“The Taoiseach also invited Mr Obama to visit Ireland”..Hmmm so its a sleep over then? “Mr Cowen also briefed Mr Obama” Is this some kind of Presidental weggie or special hand shake? “we have a very strong trade and investment relationship with the United States which is a two-way mutually beneficial operation” Mr Cowen said suddenly sounding very cold and professional while regaining his composure. So we go both ways then? Flexible aren’t we.

“Taoiseach had raised concerns about a possible reduction in the level of US Foreign Direct Investment into Ireland because of Mr Obama’s policies.”  Yes we make strange bed fellows of those who could possible have our arse on a plate, indeed, which also explains your motivation and these strange , out of context, statements

“During the election campaign, the President-elect proposed that 1pc of taxable income should be credited to employers who make their headquarters in the US.” This means that American Companies are encouraged to “return to Base” inside the Homeland boundaries

“There are 70,000 people employed by Irish owned companies in the United States. We have 510 US companies in Ireland employing over 96,000 directly.” So grievous and copious amounts of possible angry unemployed voters to satiate, possibly maybe. Just how far will one man go to ensure that the worst case scenario does not come to fruition is really down to the man himself, and the privacy of the Obama Ancestral home in Offaly.

Brian ” The horse of a beast of an animal of a man” Cowen or whatever you have to be, its not in your Job description but your gonna have to take one for Ireland if we are to succeed in this endeavor. All I can say is “fair play or not fair play that is the question” and good luck to you in your wooing strategy, enbiggen yourself Brian.
