    Kevin Myers is the most honest man in Ireland?

    Just shows how little honesty there is in this banana republic.

    I gave up buying papers a few years ago. Still, I like to glance at the Sunday Independent online every few weeks. Like its daily sibling paper, it's crap. And getting crappier by the week. Today offered this piece of "analysis" from a commentator called Eilis O'Hanlon:



    If that's "analysis" I don't know what a lazy rant would look like.

    After my first glance, I was going to ask whether you messed up the punctuation/paragraph breaks when copying and pasting it. After trying to read through that nonsensical stream of racism rant though, I see that adhering to basic standards of readability was low on the author's list of priorities.

    It also seems as though the Indo/Sindo print rants from the public. The French woman complaining about "the Irish" was just as bad, but it didn't require a response from the Indo Columnists.

    I think the Indo are putting this obsession with people liking the Irish on to the Irish. I could careless if someone dislikes another countries people.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that "French woman" was someone within the Indo staff making up a pile of ****e to get people riled imo. "Name and address with editor" can often be another way of saying that. It's like when someone sign up to boards claiming to be some Polish or Romanian person and going about how "your country is so great, the government gives me a free house and clothes, I'm telling all my friends to come over" for the sake of pushing people's buttons.

    no one responded to her letter hence they had to have the columnists respond.
