John Hume: The Funeral & “People Like Us”
First off, at the request of my wife, I deleted the post I wrote on Monday. She thought it contained too many personal references, including an anecdote that we have enjoyed for nearly forty years. I see her point. So … Continue reading

So Arlene Foster (DUP Fermanagh-South Tyrone) and Michelle O’Neill (Sinn Féin, Mid Ulster) are again the First Minister and Deputy First Minister. But the two junior ministers, Gordon Lyons (DUP, East Antrim) and Declan Kearney (Sinn Féin, South Antrim) will … Continue reading
So Euros…How Was It For You?
The Euro Campaign is over. I have not blogged much. Too busy on Slugger with the usual regiment of Sinn Féin bots and Alliance Party trolls. I have been in Coalisland, Dungannon, Carrickfergus and spent a few hours in Derry yesterday … Continue reading

Alliance Ask The Questions…But Only To Each Other
I am indebted to “Hoboroad” for the link to the Alliance Party scandal. Basically a sub group of activists asking easy questions of their candidates on radio phone-ins. Many will find it difficult to believe that the Party of Saint … Continue reading

Losing One Councillor Is Unfortunate…
For a political party to lose one councillor in one DEA is unfortunate. For a political party to lose two councillors in the same DEA looks downright careless. The party is the Alliance Party. These things happen of course. And it … Continue reading
I Blame LetsGetAlongerists

Naomi Long…Sheesh
Today Naomi Long became Leader of the Alliance Party. Yes….it seems that they can get even more pompous and sanctimonious. Not sure if a purpose can be found for David Ford. Does he stand down from the Assembly just six … Continue reading
The New Executive
