It has long been observed that the mediocre praise the dead and refract the vision of living folly with a mythic myopia. This weekend saw the philosopher Paul Ricoeur die peacefully in his sleep, and the Irish State really kick into its Hamilton year. Whom they term "Ireland's greatest scientist" = utter crap. In honour of Paul Ricoeur, this week's sunday papers is an attack on false memory, the Selective and Collective memory : Memory as fetishised community : Communality as fetishised memorial & I hope readers will bear with the different style as I recover from watching Star Wars episode 2 & I Robot, on DVD, and writing encylcopedia pages and blogs wonder, what has Ricoeur to offer the XXI century??? The Dangerous Place for consideration this Trinity Sunday is the future of Biotech and Human Cloning. read full story / add a comment

The great Housing rip off Whether we pay rent or a mortgage, the cost of keeping a roof over our heads takes up a huge proportion of our income - those of us who are 'lucky' enough to be in a position to do so. Everywhere we look - both in Dublin and other cities and also in small rural villages and towns - the skyline is dotted with cranes and houses and apartments seem to be springing up everywhere. read full story / add a comment

As you will guess from the title, the special are of interest this week is dogs. No dangerous places. No travel options. No internet festivals. No hooded youth trying to deceive thier elders. No riots or restless masses wary of change. No Uzbekistan, coz all the refugees are going eastwards and thus really aren't our concern. read full story / add a comment

An article by Barry, Thursday 21 April, predicted an "interesting diversion" would be provided by the "independent" republican candidates standing in the Norther elections. However, his soothsaying seems to be a little erroneous. Polish that crystal ball mate. read full story / add a comment

The main route for the US Military into the charnel house that is now Iraq (2 years plus after an Illegal Invasion massively facilitated by the Irish Government) is popularly known as 'Route Irish' - the name given to it by the US Military. It is called 'Route Irish' because it is the road US Military use to get to the Green Zone in Baghdad immediately after they get off the plane from Shannon Airport Ireland. read full story / add a comment

The Edukators comes bundled with enough hype and hope to prompt you into the IFI of an evening instead of lazily borrowing from your mates pirated DVD collection. Billed in reviews left, right and centre as an exposition of the political angst of a generation, the film provides a brief glance into the lives of Jan, (Daniel Bruhl), Peter, (Stipe Erceg) and Jule, (Julia Jentsch). Together they are three radicalised young Berliners, coping with the alienation of daily life in the city. read full story / add a comment

It has long been observed that on their non-banking days, those with considerably more capital, credit and resources than average allow those whose labour and effort maintain's that status quo "a day off" to watch TV, water their plants, spend money and read shite. Today is our day. Not because we have cancer of the prostrate or breast, or are women or literate, or are remembering the end of a war and some victory, or the liberation of a camp or some famine- This is Our Day because we are still in struggle. read full story / add a comment
