    American view on Irish Election

    A prime example of thoughtful and intelligent American journalism - the type we have come to love....

    Wow, that guy has a bee in his bonnet for sure.
    Someone by the name of Green must have pushed him off his tricycle at some point in the past.
    If there is a future, it will be Green.

    Apparently climate change was a large part of the election campaign.

    He does make a good point about how it was wrong that the Water issue in Galway was completely ignored in the campaign.

    "anted up" - is that a verb?
    "wood" as a fuel source?
    "may or may not exist [global warming]" - ah, the PDs as a centre-left force begins to make sense ...
    Galway has 160k people now! how?

    All I can say is bejeezus too!

    Here's an idea - lets draft a letter to this guy, one we can all agree on (a difficult prospect I know) and send it on to him as a platform of numerous Irish voters from numerous political perspectives who disagree fundamentally with his analysis of the campaign. Might get a retraction printed. Who's in?
