news report
Tuesday March 28, 2006 14:12 by M
A suspect package was delivered to McDowells office in the Post this morning. The office workers called the police when white powder came out of the packet. After McDowell's carry on since assuming office perhaps the powder was something other than a bomb, perhaps the powder itself is what is causing McDowells erratic behaviour. Perhaps he has developed a drug problem? Of course it is completely unlikely, but it might explain why he hasn't been so hard line (no pun intended) on drug crime in Ireland and has failed to sort out the drug war currently ongoing in Dublin. |

pour a bottle of spring water on it?

I am terribly sorry to hear that my dear canine pet Michael has contracted Anthrax, on top of his already difficult case of Rabies, and will now definitely have to be put to sleep. I wish him all the very best for his future and will not be apologising for this statement. Sieg Heil.
whell, if deres wun ting us dublin gards know how to do, 'tis destroy evidence boys, particularly if 'tis white powder comin outtuffa package, so I tink t'wont take 2 minutes furr de Drugs Squad at Pearce Street to hoover dis here problem up dere snouts. Ahem.
Now ... are ye being schmaart? (repeat ad infinitum)
- it's just Frank Connolly who's decided to deliver a pre-release copy of his "Report on Columbian Marching Powder" straight to the Blueshirts Rottweiler in the hope it will mellow the fucker down.
Come to think of it, perhaps a 'Silver Bullet' might be more .... forgettable - or is that just what McD wants to cover up by organising this stunt? You can see the Morris Tribunal Reports here - http://www.morristribunal.ie/asp/psummary.asp?ObjectID=...ID=75
No, maybe it is the GRA giving him 'The Message' about Reservists, like the way they popped a cap of buckshot through his windows in Roscommon?
Or wait, maybe it is Willy Frazer sending a 'UDA Paycheck' to his Agent for a job well done, wrecking up Dublin and smearing SF?
But what if just maybe it is his MI5 handlers struggling to keep Mickey's heroic-victim profile up in preparation for the elections, so the Brits can swing this budding Dictator into the top saddle in Leinster Puppet House and thus bring you all the 'Gitmo Experience', forever?
Holy Shit, sweet endless possibilities! Quick, somebody phone Mata Harney and tell her to order fresh Waterboards!
... is the man himself .....
i reckon it contained sandals, brown rice and home knitted underwear.
.....the package contained (or should have!) humble pie .
McDowell sent it back !
Sharon .
don't forget the anarchist leaders with video cameras
It was probably the green party again, you know what they're like.
Paul Reynolds is being interviewed on RTE News as I type and says that there was no explosive materials in the envelope and "nobody is particularly worried about it". Damn right.
