Do Words Matter?: Book Review of Political Discourse and Conflict Resolution – Debating Peace in Northern Ireland
I share many of the concerns of Andy Pollak, whose recent post ‘My Response to the Slugger Begrudgers’ zeroed in on the ‘relentless flow of negativity’ of some Slugger commentators. Pollak’s post was largely concerned with the medium of the blog. Indeed, I think the anonymity of the online world encourages extreme discourse and allows [...] read our review »

John Laird for Christmas?
John Laird (Lord Laird of Artigarvan) is unionism’s jester. His memoir A Struggle To Be Heard ” by a True Ulster Liberal” (from Slugger’s shop on Amazon here) might serve more as a heavy stocking filler than anybody’s idea of a main present. In it he wears the masks of comedy and tragedy to turn the [...] read our review »

A poem for the day – Launching the Whaler Juan Peron
A Belfast epic, and one of my oldest poems, the opener of my first collection, Grub. The gist of the story was found in Moss & Hume’s Shipbuilders to the World: 125 Years of Harland and Wolff, Belfast, 1861-1986, which tells how Eva Peron was due to launch a huge whaling vessel in Belfast, built [...] read our review »

Gregory and Nigel are looking well.
Its a pity Oscar just announced he’s stepping down though.
Why’s Comical Marty in the photo shoot? Isn’t this a job for Jeffrey and Gerry, the junior ministers, or ‘Crazy Cat’ Ruane?
Any truth in the rumour that there are going to be 108 new NI muppets featured?
Hangs head in shame…..
Its hard to tell who is pulling the strings on these puppets.
Those muppets in full
Kermit- Bazza McElduff
Miss Piggy- Arlene Foster
Fozzy bear- Ian Junior
Statler and Waldorf-Ruane and Sammy Wilson
Gonzo- Sir reg
Scooter- Simon Hamilton
Sam the eagle-Ian Senior
Dr Bunsen Honeydew-hmmm, incompetent genius.. Billy Armstrong?
Beaker- Pootsie
Animal- David Burnside
Punt’s just too scary to be a muppet
Sorry rumsfeld but sesame street has different characters(Big bird, Oscar the grouch and the count etc etc). Thats the Muppet show you are thinking of.
I wonder if the orange order will be allowed to march down Sesame street?
Or will some of the sketches go something like this….” I is for ink. R is for red. A is for apple…what does this make kids?” and so on and so on.
“Potto and Hilda are a combination that work well together, and today we saw a very strong message of sharing that we would all do well to share,” said Mr McGuinness.
“We have an 82-year-old unionist and a 57-year-old republican agreeing to share power, and they have done so since May last year.
Am I the only one who’s slightly worried by one of the leaders of the Assembly taking direction from Muppets?
“Am I the only one who’s slightly worried by one of the leaders of the Assembly taking direction from Muppets?”
Surely more worrying is the assembly being headed by a pair of muppets, no?
Photo competition: Spot the real muppet.
On a general point, we shouldn’t be promoting the Butcher of the Bogside as some friendly character associated with children’s television. For those affected by the murder and torture carried out by the Londonderry Sinn Fein PIRA terrorists, how should they explain it to their children?
…. yes son, SF PIRA carried out mass murderer … the leaders murdered and bombed their way to power. Just like the bully in the playground … but a bit more serious.
What a great role model for a future generation.
sorry P&J;, there is no trolls in Sesame st.
One of these kids is doin’ his own thing…
P&J;? There was a phonecall for you. Your life will be delivered on Friday, ok?
This was brought to you by the letters I, R and A, and by the number 32
Martin denies the rumour that debate and discussion are stifled within Republicanism and introduces two Sinn Fein activists who will investigate this slur. “No one pulls their strings” said McGuinness. “It’s time to put on make up, it’s time to get things right, it’s time to get things started, it’s time to face the music in the Shinner house tonight” said the Foyle MP.
NB. I know it’s Sesame Street, I know.
RepublicanStones – “there is no trolls in Sesame st.” That rules you out. But is Sesame Street Northern Ireland style introducing a new character ‘The Terrorist Butcher’ as one of the ‘good guys’?
Even with the photoshoot, they could have been more sensitive to the families of the victims. It’s hard enough for victims to bring up children on their own without having their homes violated with pictures of a leader of a group responsible for mass murder – Sinn Fein PIRA.
Just because he’s invading your favourite educational show, Mr Frazer.
lol p&j;he nailed you and your come back was pathetic lol
‘The only reason Martin could find to smile now that Ian had gone came one day when a puppeteer missed Potto and slipped his hand into the wrong hole.’
God it is good to be able to laugh at them, definitely a sign of change.
“there is no trolls”
The muppets at Sesame Tree have work to do
Caption: One of these things is not like the other….one of these things does not belong…”

“said the Foyle MP. ”
There has never been a Sinn Fein Foyle MP.
There is some substance in Lurig’s comment. Comical Marty is a resident of Foyle and we have this Londonderry City result: 1918–1922 Eoin MacNeill (Sinn Féin).
Nevin,
Comical Marty. Parapoliticians. Sinner duckwaddles. Athboy Strategy. Patriot priests. AASholes.
Yep, it’s been some time since I’ve encountered your wibble. Who’s your MP in Cloud Cuckoo Land btw?
iS P&J;really silly Billy weep’in Willy ?
