		<description><![CDATA[In chess, the quality that separates the &#8216;grandmaster&#8217; from the &#8216;talented amateur&#8217; is the number of moves ahead that each player can mentally keep in mind and manipulate. Something similar is said to be true for champion tennis and snooker players. I am not one for conspiracy theories as experience has to date shown me [...]]]></description>

My congratulations to EK and the gang on an interesting victory. EGilmore shot himself badly in the foot at the start of the campaign with his arrogance toward the electorate [...]]]></description>

Mr. Cowen has resigned as leader of FF but intends to remain as a caretaker Taoiseach, all the while citing the benefit of the Nation principally and his party secondarily as the intended beneficiaries of his actions. But who can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a fascinating article in the FT today wherein the truly hypocritical nature of the political culture of Ireland and its dominant party, Fianna Fail, is laid bare, almost accidentally. It is worth a read but two quotes stand out. “I voted for Fianna Fáil in the past simply because I was getting favours [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So the GP leadership took a decision on Saturday while the IMF/EU negotiations were still entrain. Then they attended the most momentous ever Cabinet meeting with mental reservations. And then they undermined both with a stunt on Monday. This is duplicitous, unprofessional and destabilizing. And they thought they were being clever! Who can ever sit [...]]]></description>

At the moment when you think that all possible depths have been plumbed, the leadership of the Green Party pull a stunt that significantly increases the danger of the collapse of the Euro. That is something more than incompetence. That borders on criminal negligence. Are they acting as a &#8216;Green&#8217; terrorist cell, [...]]]></description>
