…me and the lads at Press Record released a video this morning of Kormac’s Big Band with Vyvienne Long on vocals performing their song ‘Drown Me’. There’s a lovely cinematic feel to it. Kormac is playing the Choice Music Prize on March 5th.

Fine Gael junior minister Simon Harris TD

Further to this exchange on RTÉ’s Claire Byrne Live last week.

They choo choose him…

[Simon Harris] is still only 28 but his command of the facts and the aplomb with which he dished out some devastating put-downs showed why some of his colleagues have dubbed him “the white Obama”.

Biteback time: Simon Harris v Eamon Dunphy, Alan Kelly v Peter McVerry (Stephen Collins, Irish Times)

But while he [Simon Harris] is the maestro of the new non-confrontational school of politics that sucks the air out of every conflict he has a steel trap mind, as Dunphy found to his cost.

When Simon met Dunphy, a new generation took over (John Drennan, Independent.ie)

Delusional even by the standards of the Irish pol corr tradition….. I watched Simon Harris [on Claire Byrne Live ] and the only impression he conveyed was a smarmy and nasty one (and I’m no Dunphy fan). This young man’s life experience is as narrow as his shirt collar and it shows. Oh and can I be the new Hillary? We have the same hair colour!

FIGHT!

Normally ducks and swans would annoy fishermen and eat their bait. Not these ducks…
