    Oh God. The more things change the more they stay the same.

    Wasn't Charles Haughey the spirit of the nation? I can recall being assured it was the case.

    Indeed he was, Sam. And that spirit is alive and thriving in the nation today.

    Fraudulent, scheming, grandiose with nothing behind it, bluffing,
    arrogant yet small minded, grudging, insecure and full of loathing.

    That spirit will always be with us.

    Get your orders in early.

    When everything shall be extinguished
    When everything shall begin
