That's it.

When I got my own domain a few years back, the company who was hosting my website (Alpha Design, if you are interested) handled the registration of the .ie domain. I had to write an essay on why I deserved the particular url, but they took care of everything else, including the invoicing for it.

Starts on Sunday. Will the Dèise do it again?

No.

No . . .

Maybe.

Preferably one who isn't made of crisps.

Some number crunching on the path to a contested convention here. The crucial graphic:

In that case, Trump still holds the delegate lead. But he needs to win 66 percent of remaining delegates to get to 1,237 -- and that could be a hard climb.

As another article noted on the subject, a contested convention is like the white whale of political hacks. I don't think I'd go to sleep during the convention if it happened.

Liverpool have a game in hand on most teams and can still get to 74 points. Screw it, this year is our year!

I think that 69-70 will secure 4th spot this year.  Any of the teams from City down to us could make that(if we win our game in hand) if they go on a consistent run.  City are in a bt of a freefall in terms of the league but they have it in them if they want to and it is theirs to lose.  Of the rest Stoke just are not quite there yet,  WHU may focus on the FA Cup if the beat United.  I think it will ultimately be between us and the 2 Manchester teams.

Arsenals remaining away games are at Spurs, Everton, West Ham, Sunderland & City, thats a very tough set of fixtures although their home games look easy on paper. I think we'll know inside the next 3 games whether Arsenal are in serious fight for the top 4. Given how poor United & Liverpool have both this season its going to take a huge uptake in consistency to make the top 4 and I don't see that happening. Liverpool would need 9 wins and 2 draws from 11 games to get 70 points or 10 wins, that would be some run.

So you're saying there's a chance! It's on 

(You set 'em up, Geoff...which is more than be said for Benteke.)

Finishing 4th? I meant winning the title!

RTE rarely look at systemic issues. Their default setting is "everything is grand. Over to Con for the rugby"

Fixed that for you.

GOP congratulates itself in dodging a bullet, because the fascist "strongman" they have nominated is actually a Democrat, thereby absolving all the registered Republicans who voted for him from blame, and also heave a sigh of relief that in a two party system, they have now given the American people a choice between two Democrats in the general election.*

Way to run a country, GOP guys!

And thus is the purity of the Volk maintained...

Daniel Larison nails, er, T-rump's core appeal to Republican primary voters:

Some may hold out hope that he might follow through, and even that slight chance is an improvement over the others that they know will do nothing for them.

On to November then and Drumpf v Clinton. I genuinely think Drumpf getting the GOP nomination is a good thing, and not just because it makes it easier for Clinton. No, it does. While the usual suspects are already ramping up for their belief that Drumpf ain't all bad when looked at in a certain light, it's going to be difficult for the Republicans to maintain a coherent front. And even if Drumpf did get elected, better him than the zealots that are Rubio and Cruz. Grover Norquist famously said that all they need is "a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States", hence how he was able to rationalise supporting someone as slippery as Mitt Romney. He won't find Drumpf to be so malleable.

Is this post showing up to everyone with the word T-rump? I think the Drumpfinator extension even changes the text in the preview box to Drumpf!

The Drumpfinator - it really works! Now if only someone could come up with the Killaryator.

It is also very apparent that there are more small shops and pubs closed in rural Ireland that there were thirty years ago. Not all the governments fault, but not sure will it change soon either.

This is a particular bugbear of mine, and I think it almost had an effect on the election in my neck of the woods. There is something government can do - protect rural post offices. They may not be economically viable, but that is to miss the point. They provide a certain amount of traffic in an area that might keep the rural shop or pub open. The post office in the village of Bunmahon down the coast from me closed a while back and now there is no shop, even in the summer months, which has the knock-on impact on the tourism trade there, such as it was. During the life of the last government the post office in Kill closed and John Deasy, a man whose employment history is entirely down to his father's status as a former TD and government minister -  Legislative Assistant in the United States Senate, ffs - was quick to sneer at the complaints of the people of Kill. The post office wasn't viable and that was the end of the matter. I have no doubt that such an attitude contributed to the implosion of Deasy's campaign, which saw him make it home by about 500 votes ahead of Paudie Coffey, his outgoing FG colleague (ha!) despite being 1/80 with Paddy Power a few days before the election. Now, before anyone says 'the other lot are as bad', you'd be right. I believe FF closed down over 200 rural post offices in their last time in power, all sacrificed at the altar of cost-saving, as if a universal postal service is ever going to make money. No doubt they are hiding behind some diktat from Brussels, but I don't believe for one second that a case can't be made for the protection of such services, if the will was there. There is no will though, so wedded are all the mainstream parties to making Ireland a good place to do business. With all that in mind, is it any wonder people in Kerry are willing to vote for Healy-Rae in their tens of thousands? It's more surprising that more people don't do it!
