So, we're suffering through the post-Budget blues (there should be a song. Well, apart from this one). To make things worse, we've been buried in snow for the last couple of weeks, and there's more on the way. A general election is hovering tantalisingly out of reach. The economy may have just returned to growth, but at lower levels than expected. Overall, the country's in pretty bad shape, and everyone agrees. How nice, then, to see the BBC returning to old stereotypes in this article. What picture would best represent the state of Ireland's economy? Special offers on lager from SuperValu. Cheers, BBC. We appreciate your solidarity in this time of need. Want to slip in something about us blowing up pubs too while you're at it? Maybe something about Cromwell; I don't think that particular wound has been milked enough since the mid-17th century (yes, I know it's a mixed metaphor. Have you never milked a wound? You get some good blood).
Ah well. There's one thing that can help....
