Susan Hated Literature

Edited to add my opinion at the end of the post

Mary O’Rourke is a Fianna Fáil politician in her 70’s. She has served as Minister for Education in the past and is currently the leader of the Seanad(Senate). Recently she received the party nomination to run in the next election, this after losing her seat last time around.

When she won this right she made a comment that has gotten her in a bit of trouble, so I’ve decided to ask my international readers what they make of it. Obviously I’m not stopping any Irish people from commenting, I’m just curious is all.

In praising her team that help her win the FF nomination to run she complimented them by saying “They were there for me, and they worked like blacks.”

Discuss.

I did mean to write a reply to my post yesterday about Mary O’Rourke, but once I got home I decided to fix the problem I’ve been having with my keywords. I couldn’t get it to work. For some reason the cosmos page tags would not link to the correct posts, so instead I deactivated that plugin, and installed the Ultimate Tag Warrior. Cool name And that seems to be working fine. So if you ever used the cosmos, it has now been renamed the Tag Cloud but does exactly the same job as before, it lists all the tags I’ve used.

All done now, I think. But if you notice any problems let me know and I’ll ignore your complaint until I have time

BTW wordpress 2.0 comes with anti-spam stuff, and an all new layout, if you are thinking of upgrading. It is also supposed to be faster, but I never noticed it being slow in the first place so *shrug*
