Please Forgive the Obscenities


But Bock does rage so well.

This is just the latest in a list of underhanded manoeuvres by the Irish business/political class, and it coincides with further news of massive job losses. But what will happen to all that incandescent rage? Will it just turn into calculating self-preservation and the decision to get out of this country ASAP, or detached philosophical resignation and the reflection that there's no organized left in Ireland that is anywhere near achieving what everyone knows needs to be done if we want to prevent future Irish history from being just a series of repeats featuring Irish workers getting fucked over by a corrupt, cynical, self-serving nepotistic shower of bastards?

Oh for a charismatic ubermensch who will deliver us from these scheming financiers!




Don't take that literally.

Not one of my prouder literary moments.

I don't know about that, Bock. The purpose of language, after all, is communication, and you manage to convey a great deal with an economy of words. Fair play to yer.
