There once was a fellow from Coon,
A bit of a World War 2 loon,
Who decided to bake,
A Hitlerite cake,
And now he looks quite the buffoon.

Royal Mail employee Pat (yes, really) McIntyre made a new friend on his round as he knelt to write a delivery note for a customer.
Warning: contains selfie in portrait mode which some viewers may find offensive.
The *new* clip.
From Tuesday’s Tonight With Vincent Browne.
Feel the power, the passion, the conviction in Enda’s and Eamon’s speeches from the Senior Citizen’s Protest in 2008.
But that was then sure.

Anyone?
Then you may like this project called DART of Physics, led by Professor Shane Bergin, from the School of Physics and CRANN at Trinity College Dublin.
He and his team are giving online physics lessons for DART commuters.
This cannot end well.
They write:
“Over the course of eight weeks, starting on the 21st of October 2013, we’ll turn Dublin’s DART into our own laboratory and get the city thinking and talking about physics.”
“Discover and learn scientific concepts through tricky teasers, mind-melting facts and seemingly illogical questions that will be scattered throughout the DART. All you’ll have to do is look around you on your journey.”
“And if you want to know more, that’s what this website is for. Updated throughout the campaign, we’ll be blogging, responding to your questions and releasing interactive, illustrated stories that go deeper into the the lessons on the DART.”
“We promise you, this will not be the physics you avoided in school.”

Actually that’s not too bad at all, in fairness.

“Possibility for The Late Late Toy Show…..is the Christmas shirt better than the Christmas jumper?”
Anyone?
“I think it does raise a whole load of questions as to how the Gardaí and State institutions generally deal with minorities in our society and whether they apply different standards to some people, particularly members of minorities, than they do to everybody else. I mean I think that if we could all imagine, for a moment, would there have been an intervention in an Irish family who happened to have a brown child? I don’t think so.”
