            It's excellent news. Charlie Flanagan seems to be hitting all the right notes lately.

            Must say I've been really impressed with Fine Gael's performance over the last maybe twelve months.

                Just watched swinging safari.

                Great Craic. Really enjoyable mayhem. Indie comedy based in Australian suburbia in the 70s, with amongst others Guy Pearce and Kylie Minogue.

                  Actually just to add to this, I think really all the parties have done well recently. The C&S agreement has forced Fianna Fail to grow up a bit, while Brexit has seen pretty much everyone singing from the same hymn sheet. The 8th ref had a similar conciliatory effect.

                  This has been very heartening, as it's clear from the UK and US in particular that absolutely nothing is more septic than a drum-beating, polarised, adversarial political landscape.

                  It would be great to think that for all the self-flagellation the Irish do about the electorate that we seem to be all in a rush moving to a stage where we could get beyond shouting 'Blueshirt' and 'where are the bodies' at one another. You wouldn't know what we could manage then.

                      Was it not essentially forced on the government by the courts who ruled the ban unconstitutional?

                        I haven't read at all to be honest maybe so. It's nice to see our country progress rather than wind back like a lot of others regardless. We'll all be legally stoned up next.

                              This verb is fast going the way of "taping". A relic of a bygone era.
                              This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
                              All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

                                    Seems historically apt for ze Germans to be getting defeated in Russia.

                                        This VAR is awesome for excitement.

                                        S Korea score 1 min into 6 min injury time. Flag goes up so they plan for a minute. They then go to VAR, and it's ruled to come off Toni Kross to a S Korean player, so the goals stands. Queue huge celebrations for Mexico!

                                        Neuer joins the attack a few mins later, and Koreans score an open goal to go 2-0 up. Mad Ted!

                                          Last time Germany went out at this stage was 1938. Oh dear not again.

                                            You are supposed to commit a deliberate mistake ie have control of the ball, not bounce off your legs

                                            I thought the Korean was onside at first and thought they gave it for that

America is about to become an evangelical wonderland for the coming generation. Sucks to be them, but then again this is how they voted.

Letting a few things go so the game flows and is physical but not letting it get out of hand and keeping his cards in his pocket. Actually talking to players to explain things too and they seem to accept it. Refreshing to see.

That's quite a common dividing line between the two sides - e.g. Obamacare (almost fully RIP at this stage) was as much fiscal as anything else given how it was formulated. Corporate rights as citizens was another one that was largely fed from a freemarket idea that corporations have rights (which is a very particular moral perspective).

The other two nominees had failed for two rather different reasons. Robert Bork was rejected after a spectacularly bitter confirmation fight. Bork had been the man whom Nixon had finally gotten to fire the special prosecutor in the Watergate investigation (Cox?). Bork was the last man standing in the Saturday Night Massacre and was absolutely notorious for it.

                                                                                                              The other nominee I think was outed as having smoked marijuana once and withdrew his own name from consideration.

The other two nominees had failed for two rather different reasons. Robert Bork was rejected after a spectacularly bitter confirmation fight. Bork had been the man whom Nixon had finally gotten to fire the special prosecutor in the Watergate investigation (Cox?). Bork was the last man standing in the Saturday Night Massacre and was absolutely notorious for it.

However the federal elements of the Constitution do rarely require decisions on certain fiscal matters.

                                                                                                                  Today the SCOTUS deals mostly with personal liberty issues, rights based arguments, legislative and constitutional interpretation and judicial oversight issues such as whether executive orders are constitutionally sound. As far as I am aware it would only on very rare occasions deal with anything with a financial twist.
