Fatigue is setting in. I'm getting tendonitis recording these damn bulletins:
A man has been shot and wounded in south Finglas in Dublin. The gun attack is the third in a week.The writer is getting tired writing them. Soon the reports will be down to a summary digest on page 8. Reports suggest the victim was known to Gardai. Perhaps the Garda Siochana are operating death squads and are working through their lists. That would explain why the Minister for Justice has taken to wearing a long trenchcoat, peaked cap and black leather gloves.

Vietnam is preparing to launch its first satellite, hoping to improve the country's telecommunications to keep pace with its rapid economic development, officials said Wednesday. (Cost's less than five miles of bypass road in Meath.)
The $200 million satellite, which has a medium transmission capacity, will help make Internet and television accessible nationwide, Thuoc said.16:04
Pesky kids:
Two men in their 20s have been arrested following an incident involving firearms on O'Connell Street in Dublin.

Every senior government politician in the country is abroad on all expenses paid junkets to St. Patrick's Day parades all over the world. Perky. Followed by a short break while over, usually. Meaning, a sort of bucolic Al Pacino in Scarface with a thicker Cuban accent, Deputy Willie O Dea, is the provisional leader of the country.
Let's invade Russia! C'mon ye fuckers, OUTSIDE!

The kettle calling the pot black as the Yanks ratchet up the t-word to smite the Ire-anians. The Branks say the Tyranians have used violence in the past. Musn't trust 'em. Funny.

Iranian females have the highest nose-job rate in the world. Every bit of me is going to be beautiful that needs to be. They're whole sexual identity peeking out through their habibs. Rhinoplasty, for prowess. By that token, The Dubs should be the highest levels of liposuction if they want to go around with bellies and arses hanging out of tracksuits. Elephantsealoplasty.

The Iranian women all say they want to look like Jlo or Christina. Nothing unusual there, same here. It's the level of effort expended that's surprising, on the respective sides of the world. In Iran they modify their face with surgical procedures. In Dublin, they buy the tracksuit and call it a look.
