Spoofer’s Guide to the Lisbon Treaty. Send me an Email. Truman was right to use the atomic bomb. Posted by Jason O on Aug 7, 2015 in US Politics. There’s a lot of loose revisionist talk about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Phrases like “war crime” get thrown around, and of course the fact that the horror of atomic warfare is something pretty much every nation today regards as the near-ultimate extreme act. About the same time they pulled out of East Germany? The other argument is t...

Spoofer’s Guide to the Lisbon Treaty. Send me an Email. Great TV: The Game. Posted by Jason O on Jul 24, 2015 in Movies/TV/DVDs. The cast is superb, with Paul Ritter in particular standing out as the repressed deputy head of MI5. Tom Hughes plays Joe Lambe, a top MI5 operative embroiled in the case. If anything, Hughes’ male model good looks provide one of the more unbelievable parts of the show. Would MI5 really hire someone so conspicuous? There’s just enough hint of humour in it to endear you to...

Spoofer’s Guide to the Lisbon Treaty. Send me an Email. Would a real U.N.C.L.E. actually work? Posted by Jason O on Jul 20, 2015 in Cult TV. As a concept, certainly to this then teenager watching repeats in the 1980s, it was a fascinating internationalist concept, that there was far more that united us as a race than divided us. Could it have worked? Surely the United States would be quite happy with any disruption they could cause? Combined military unit called Eurocorps. Will not be published). The Dia...

Spoofer’s Guide to the Lisbon Treaty. Send me an Email. US candidates should be permitted to give voters cash. Posted by Jason O on Aug 5, 2015 in Not quite serious. Think about it for a minute. Would it be corrupting? True, some swing voters in key primary states or swing general election states would make much more money as their votes would matter more, but wouldn’t that only force other states to start offering proportional voting in order to allow their voters benefit from the bonanza? Interesting p...

A place to discuss Irish opinion polls. Aside from being busy, I’ve given up Twitter for January (along with a few things) , but I’ve managed to find a few minutes to look at the latest RedC offering. For a certain bookmaker, and run it through the spreadsheet. First off, I’m aware of another blogger who does a similar exercise, but then calculates seats using the d’Hondt.

Previously published in The Times Ireland Edition. On 18th July 2016. But what should really alarm us is that there now seems to be substantial numbers of voters who choose to vote recklessly on the basis that sure, it can’t get any worse, can it? But they do want to break it, some say. Why shouldn’t they? Venezuela. When you can...

Spoofer’s Guide to the Lisbon Treaty. Send me an Email. The rotting of classic television. Posted by Jason O on Jul 22, 2015 in Cult TV. I’ve written previously about my interest in old British and US cult TV shows from the 1960s and ’70s, and the recent passing at 93 of British actor Patrick Macnee, who played debonair spy John Steed in the 1960s British spy series “The Avengers” has triggered a few thoughts on the subject. That’s why programmes like the Emmy Foundations interview archive. Irish blog ab...
