“You might have seen this article {below] and video from the UK Independent? A policeman in Carolina pulls a man over and shoots him when he reaches in his car for his driving licence.This is one of the most insane actions I’ve ever seen. It’s that mad, you can’t actually believe what’s happening.Seemingly the cop’s been charged and can get up to 20 years in jail. But I can’t help thinking a spell in a psychiatric institution would be more in order.”

Street Stories Festival, celebrating Dublin 7 life.
The organisers write:
“The event kicks off tonight with a talk by David Jazay on his photographic story of inner city Dublin in the 1980s and ’90s followed by a music session in the Cobblestone pub. Tomorrow we have talks throughout the day on subjects from the Mother and Baby homes, to Dublin in World War I, from Life in Medieval Smithfield to the Massacre in North King Street during the 1916 Rising and lots more. Saturday night will see Dublin’s favourite ska/reggae band The Bionic Rats rocking the Back Room of the Cobblestone and Sunday will be a relaxed day of walking tours and film showings [details below]…”

FG Seanad nominee John McNulty with Enda Kenny
When you’re giving a fellow a start,
In the Seanad it’s not very smart,
If you let your stroke,
Just go up in smoke,
‘Cause the lad doesn’t care about art.
