If Fianna Fail Created the Celtic Tiger then why......

Here's a comment I left on the Unemployed Blog. Some of my best stuff is done in comments, and nobody ever gets to see them. It's about the old  Recession thing thats doing the rounds at the minute... you might have heard about it?

"When times were good FF drilled it into our heads that they, and they alone, created the Celtic Tiger. Now lets not be cheap and obvious and totally correct by saying, well if they caused the ‘Tiger surely they must have killed it too. No, lets not even go there, instead let us ask FF to do one simple thing: if they generated the original Celtic Tiger, then please, why don’t they just pull another one out of the bag now!? *holds breath*… *turns blue*…. *then purple*…. *dies*… *rots*… *my long since dissolved bodily essences witness the sun expanding and engulfing the earth*… *Andromeda smashes into the milky way*… *the universe folds back onto itself and contracts into a single point of matter*… *then explodes*… *billions of years later Homosapiens begin walking around on a third rock from a sun*… *on a small island on this rock, corrupt political party gain power*… *the economy on this island suddenly grows rapidly due random global circumstances and due to an ill informed and misguided internal pyramid scheme based on the housing sector*…. *then it all fails and things become very bleak*…* a random blogger holds his breath*… *turns blue then purple*…. *then dies*… *then rots*…………. “nothing lasts, but nothing is lost”, Terence McKenna, quoting William Blake."
