Ulick My Arse and I'll...

The splendidly-named Ulick McEvaddy, director of Knock Airport, has declared himself willing to apply suitable salivary lubrication to the posterior of the Pentagon by allowing US planes to refuel (and presumably transit prisoners to torture centres elsewhere) at the airport. 'Whatever would benefit the people of Mayo' says McEvaddy, a good friend of Mary Harney. Somehow I doubt the people of Mayo will be polled on whatever decision is taken, and Knock may well be accommodating the latest 'surge' announced by President Bush that has even hardcore loony rightwingers such as Francis Fukuyama are railing against.
