Lots of whining and soul-searching because Bertie the Cunning was once again a winner. Twenty thinks that the 41% that voted him back in have no right to complain for the next 5 years but that still leaves a massive number who’ll still whine and do absolutely nothing but blame everything on those that did vote for Bertie while sitting on their asses pontificating and not actually doing anything tangible or constructive.

There’s more to do now than ever before and 5 years of Fianna Fail means even more to do. How many of those that whine and moan will actually do anything apart from hope that someone else will do something on their behalf in 5 years time? Self-serving people may have voted Bertie in, but a whole load of self-serving people wanted Pat and Enda and Trevor to get in too.

Howdy everyone, if you have a DIGG account, can you DIGG this for me? Ta.

Bloggorah loves scraps but they didn’t even start this one. The only people that seem to love Rock the vote are themselves. Long time. And that tripe “only” cost 30k. Wow, to get 75k hits on YouTube, it cost them 30k? Here lads and lassies, I can get a video 100k views without any cost. 30k to tell you how. Don’t forget Jim’s great blog piece on this.

Best of luck to Robert Burke who’s leaving Microsoft Ireland. This is his new personal blog. Will you be leaving in the chip in your neck or take it out after you leave Microsoft?

Al Gore’s messy office with a triple giant computer display. Ka riest. I don’t trust neat desks.

The Cork Midsummer Festival really looks good.

Remember C&C Music Factory?

Gonna make you sweat:

Dedicated to Bertie and his finances. Things that make you go hmmm

The very end is the best bit.
