Glenn Beck at the Lincoln Memorial

I was watching the coverage of Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honour” rally on the Daily Show last night and this is all I could think of. Poisonous little shit of a man.

Photographers banned from match, cartoonist captures winning goal!

From the BBC:

Plymouth Argyle’s winning goal against Southampton was captured by a cartoonist after the home side banned photographers from its grounds.

Artist Chris Robinson was hired by the Plymouth Herald newspaper to capture the League One side’s 1-0 win at St Mary’s stadium on Saturday.

The Southampton club restricted access to an official photographer meaning others were banned from attending.

Now if the Sunday Times would only lose that useless photoshopping and hire a cartoonist…

Langer of the Month: Celia Larkin & Robin O’Sullivan

This month’s Langer of the Month in The Corkonian is a combined Celia Larkin and Robin O’Sullivan. You’ll of course know Celia from her expertise on consumer affairs, as she’s bought a lot of expensive handbags. Fortunately this handbag cost has been defrayed by the generousity of the National Consumer Agency which paid out €13,184 to her for straining herself to attend five meetings in 2009. She also claimed €923 for soup and sandwiches.
Robin O’Sullivan is a former Cork Chamber of Commerce president and got €13,184 for attending 6 meetings of the NCA in 2009. He got €902 for soup and sandwiches. The size of his handbag collection remains a mystery.
Eddie Hobbs famously resigned from the NCA in protest at Hermes Larkin’s appointment. He got €5,834 in fees but didn’t claim for soup and sandwiches. The National Consumer Agency. Keeping Irish consumers safe from ripoffs. Now, what’s this over here? Electricity levy? What? CEELLLLIAAAAAA!!!!!

The August issue of The Corkonian is now on sale, price €2.

Ivor Callely cartoon in The Corkonian

ivor-callely-470px
I’m contributing cartoons to Cork publication The Corkonian’s new feature Langer of the Month. The first recipient of the honour is expenses leech Ivor Callely, who has had the Fianna Fail party whip removed (wooo!). Ivor’s been claiming travel expenses from Cork even though he lives in Dublin, and like the good gravy guzzler he is can’t see that he’s done anything wrong because people like Ivor don’t trade in morality.
