		<description><![CDATA[Enda Kenny was on the radio this morning, talking about his recent head-patting encounter with Nicolas Sarkozy.  He says the new fiscal compact won&#039;t cause any more austerity than we already have, which came as a great relief to me, and no doubt to the millions of adoring citizens hanging on his every word.

		<description><![CDATA[Anger is a positive emotion. There&#039;s a lot of it going around lately, and it grows deeper by the day, not helped by our prime minister telling the world that we&#039;re mad, even as his government hands over billions to creditors of a private company.

		<description><![CDATA[Enda Kenny told us in December that the financial crisis is not our fault, but yesterday he told the rest of the world that we&#039;re all mad, so which is it? Are we blameless or are we mad? Maybe Enda is saying that it&#039;s both.  Maybe he&#039;s saying that we did it, but you can&#039;t <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2012/01/its-not-your-fault-says-enda-kenny-youre-just-mad/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
