Here’s another one I wasn’t going to write about. Is there no end to it?
We’re either talking about Wayne O’Donoghue, the murdering, child-abuser, according to the mother of the dead little boy or Wayne O’Donoghue, the victim, according to an alternative view.
Where are we going with this?

Well, another day, another atrocity.
MacDara commented on yesterday’s post that religions should get better killers.
It reminded me of an old post, from back in the days when very few people read this site. It seems appropriate.

UPDATE Since this post was written, Benazir Bhutto has been murdered. The post about that is HERE.
Original postI’m out for a quiet evening with friends when my phone buzzes that irritating text-buzz that I must change some time.
It’s Colonel Bleep.
Watchin news from Karachi?, the message says.

Did you watch the Ireland-Cyprus soccer match tonight?
Words fail me, and that’s not something you’ll see happening very often.
Don’t get me wrong: I knew it would be bad. You’d need to have no eyes, no ears, no fingers, toes, tongue or nose to have any hope that Delaney’s Donkeys would be anything other [...]

I see Seán Brady has been elevated to Cardinal and is now a Prince of the Church.

I notice that Mr Darwin hasn’t got into the Stargate thing.
What a pity. Maybe this will start him off. It’s the episode acted by puppets to celebrate their 200th show.

You see?
You see?
This is the fate that awaits me for laughing at Ratzo.
And of course, then there was that ugly matter where I accused Mother Teresa of murdering Princess Diana. That was a bad business.
I knew it would happen in the end. It was only a matter of time before the Vatican [...]

Wrinkly Joe was in town over the weekend because a mutual friend of ours was having a Big Birthday, and we were both invited to the party.
Great.
What a good opportunity to take it easy, stay home till a reasonable hour, cook a nice dinner perhaps, settle down and watch the England-France game before heading out [...]
