The Ten Most Hated People
Posted on Monday, November 19, 2007The phone rang. It was d’Arcy-Einbahnstrasse.
Quick, he panted. I need to know what ten people you hate the most.
I thought I could barely detect the sound of a helicopter, and perhaps the thunderous roar of a gigantic waterfall.
Ten? And how the hell do you suggest I might keep it down to ten?
Oh, he said. I don’t know. How about you do it in categories?
Like Music, Philosophy, Wallpaper, Politics, Cinema, Knitting, Religion?
That sort of thing.
OK. I said. I’ll start whittling down the numbers. Just ten, you say?
Ten only.
And how soon do you need it?
Within the hour, he replied grimly, or I’m a dead man.
Well, we wouldn’t want that, so let’s see …
Bono
Bryan Adams
Sting
Paul McCartney
Barbra Streisand
Mother Teresa
Ratzinger
Bush
Cheney
Rumsfeld
Bertie Ahern
Haughey
John Delaney
Eddie O Sullivan
Paris Hilton
Joe Duffy
Michael McDowell
Duncan Stewart
Ratko Mladic
Steve Davis
…
Shit, this is going to take a while. Things don’t look promising for d’Arcy-Einbahnstrasse.
Stumble it!

And don’t leave out Radovan Karadicz (sp?) the poetry-writing, psychiatrist/genocidal war criminal.

Yes - or Jeffrey Archer for being a lying tosser and exceptioanally no-excuses-ever worst novel writer in the entire history of the world.

Looks like the bold d’Arcy is headed down a one way street to a cul de dead end.

What about Reggie Corrigan, Neil Back? I also think Shane Horgan would have played better for the goys at the weekend if he had worn his tutu.

I would add Rudy Giuliani to that list as well as John McCain, and Tony Blair.
