THE IRISH BRING US BACK TO SANITY
Over the weekend, the Irish from the town of Killorglin, refused Olympic distractions and gave us a good taste of common sense.
They elected a KING OF IRELAND. A male goat. For three days this King will find the heavy duties of office but will also enjoy the perks.

Blair a poodle? Bush a monkey with a gun? Stalin a walrus? ( I once wrote about a certain Foreign Minister as an elk - boss was not much amused although I did manage ).
How many animals do we have in politics?
