Mon, 30 Mar 2009 16:42:58 +0000https://www.therowboat.com/?p=622#comment-2132A very small cavil: The Irish head of state is the Uachtarain or President, now a she, Mary McAleese, not a he as you wrote in your article.in the Huffington Post.
The head of government, theTaoiseach or Prime Minister, is Brian Cowen; maybe it was he who was whisked by the White House while you were there commendably objecting to the torturing of political prisoners. Keep up the good work.

Especially as concerns the prospect of the restructuring of the financial system, we’ve got to tell him who is boss.

And perhaps there is no power, we are drifting.

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 01:16:20 +0000https://www.therowboat.com/?p=622#comment-2039I have a vague uncomfortable feeling that “power” discounts the circus, the letters to congressmen, and letters to the editor. I might even wonder if power actually resides in Washington DC at all but is rather located in our best writers, academicians who speak out and have a following, and famous people who take a stand, and a few good religious leaders who speak to us every week. When things go badly we look to those people and wonder why they did not wake us up.
We never seem to look to congressmen, business leaders, or people of the wealthy class. Occasionally there is a rare, rare exception.
