our television listings

RTE1
(The Irish national fraudcaster. Financed by a compulsory tax on Catholic people who then have no say over how it is run or over the anti Catholic agendas it purveys. Interestingly enough, RTE has up until recently refused to publish details of what it pays its staff. It now releases figures once every two years. These figures relate to a period two years before the figures are released. That is to say the figures we have at present relate to the year 2006. So we have RTE's word for it that journalist Charlie Bird, a former member of the Communist Party, was paid 180,000 Euro in the year 2006. You may be sure they're paying him more at the moment. Meanwhile unwatchable unlistenable RTE presenters such as Pat Kenny and Gerry Ryan were probably bringing home well in excess of a million a year. I mean including their expenses which RTE simply conceals, ie doesn't publish. The Chief Executive of RTE Cathal Goan was paying himself a few hundred grand in 2006. At least so he claims. These are RTE figures remember. The real figures will be higher. Cathal Goan's salary for 2006 is the only salary figure which RTE reveals for its executives that year. Why? What exactly are they hiding? They present us with these outdated figures, concealing the true level of RTE's atrociously and disgracefully inflated salaries, and even while doing this, they think they don't have to publish a full account. We should put a stop to this. We really should. We should set up a political party to end the RTE monopoly on broadcasting in Ireland. Let's abolish the licence fee. If there's demand for a television station, let the people in that television station actually work for a living.)
4.25 Murder She Wrote. A shy poet asks Jessica for help with something. I wonder is it writing a poem. Odds are it's solving a murder. Anyhoo. For the first time in thirty years I might actually watch an episode of Murder She Wrote.
5.20 Nuacht. Gesundheit.
5.30 The Bill. Cor blimey Guv, JT puts a woman's cor blimey life in danger when he sends her to meet a suspicious cor blimey character. Cor blimey. Who needs religious or spiritual programming when you can cor blimey all night long.
6.00 The Angelus. Dong.
6.01 News. Left wing analysis from a shower of anti Catholic Dublin Four Marxists.
7.00 Capital D. When are they going to get around to making programmes about other letters of the alphabet?
7.30 Eastenders. Cor blimey Guv, Chelsea makes a cor blimey big decision to cor blimey do something about her cor blimey future. Peggy uncovers Jack's cor blimey secret. No need for God when you've got this opium of the people.
8.00 Fair City. Dublin soap opera. Almost enough to make you miss the cor blimeys.
8.30 The Enforcers. Documentary about jobsworth types charged with protecting the public health and environment. Tonight's episode features a litter warden. Compelling viewing. Ha, ha, ha.
9.00 News. In case you missed it earlier.
9.30 Prime Time. Current affairs panel discussion programme. Marxist mediocrity John Bowman leads a panel of lefties and conformists by the noses through the usual hypocritical excoriation of Christian values. The Catholic church clearly needs to set up its own television station and to stop taking it on the chin from these poor little rich boys who spent the 1960's and 1970's marching in the streets of Dublin waving little red books and cheering for Chairman Mao in China while Mao was murdering all around him with gay abandon.
10.10 The Mentalist. Honestly, who cares?
11.05 What In The World? Peadar King visits Mali to talk to the Bozo tribe. We're the bozos paying a licence fee to finance Peadar King's holidays in Mali.
11.35 Oireachtas Report. Highlights from Ireland's parliament. Labour Party representative Ruairi Quinn has recently issued a call to have the Catholic Church excluded from the education of children. Who is Ruairi Quinn? Ruairi Quinn is a former Marxist Maoist firebrand, well known to that generation of spoilt brat Irish people who went to university in the 1960's and have since bankrupted the country through kleptocratic payrises for the State Sector. All the heroes of the revolution love dem pay rises. As an elected representative Ruairi Quinn has made a killing in terms of his income. He's been paid a salary in excess of a hundred grand, expenses in the hundreds of thousands, and an annual pension each year of over 40 grand which he gets on foot of having served in some government or other. Bloody hell. Ruairi Quinn once said that his hero was the French atheist Albert Camus. Maybe we should hand our schools over to Albert Camus. After all atheists have done such a tremendous job in China, Soviet Russia, the African dictatorships, Cambodia, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam and Burmah. I mean which non Catholic country does this clown want us to immitate exactly? Doctrinaire socialist atheist Ruairi Quinn is the brother of multi millionaire Lochlainn Quinn. Lochlainn Quinn is a Board member at Allied Irish Banks. Lochlainn Quinn some years ago paid 30 million quid for a vineyard in France. I don't know what sort of a job Lochlainn Quinn was doing for Allied Irish Banks. I doubt it was anything worth 30 million quid. I see no reason why he should have been able to accumulate this money. It's not a social vision I sign up to. Lochlainn Quinn having thirty million quid in his back pocket. And then the Irish taxpayer guarantees the future of the banks as they collapse? We pay for the losses of banks that shell out silly money to the likes of Lochlainn Quinn to keep him in vineyards? This is unsustainable. People are getting angry now. It's like somebody putting fifty billion on a horse, losing, and then coming up to the Irish people and saying: "You're going to have to pay for my gambling losses. And your children are going to have to pay. And your children's children." Let's face it. Bankers have been paying themselves money they're not earning. Fifty grand a year is more than enough for anyone working in banking. And that's presuming the people working in banking have some abilities, and aren't simply declaring huge profits using accountancy tricks which are then suddenly and catastrophically revealed as pure lies when the entire banking system of the free world collapses overnight. During Lochlainn Quinn's tenure on the Board at Allied Irish Bank, John Rusnak robbed 600 million quid from that same Allied Irish Bank. Who should we hold accountable for this if not the Board Members of the bank? In any case I don't accept that Ruairi Quinn or indeed any member of the multi millionaire Quinn family dynasty, has a right to criticise my church or to seek to marginalise my church from Irish cultural life. Catholics were giving their lives for Ireland when the likes of Ruairi Quinn were still busy yearning for the dictatorship of the proletariat and the Soviet conquest of the world.
12.05 News. Fun, isn't it? So many news programmes. So little time. So few viewers. Such high wages.12.10 The Importance Of Being Irish. Influential thinkers look into Ireland's future. By influential thinkers, RTE means people who go to pubs with RTE producers. Oiks.
1.10 Ghost Whisperer. The most intellectual thing on RTE today.

RTE2
(This is what's called choice in Ireland. Two monopoly operating State television stations, financed through compulsory taxation and waging perpetual warfare against Christian values.)
1.30 The Scooby Doo Movies. I bet RTE2's Scooby Doo hates the Catholic church too.
2.15 Kazoo Compilation. You what?
2.45 Confederations Cup. Live coverage of the USA versus Brazil in the world's most prestigious Tiddlywinks championship.
5.10 Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Pornography for children.
5.35 Neighbours. Australian cor blimeys.
6.00 The Simpsons. Leftist tripe with occasional flashes of wit.
6.30 Home And Away. Cor blimey cobberrrrrrrs.
7.00 Confederations Cup. Live coverage of Egypt versus Italy in Tiddlywinks.
9.40 Under Siege 2. (1995. Certified 18s.) Die Hard rip off starring Steven Seagal as a cook you don't want to complain to about anything.
11.30 News.
12.00 Reaper. Sam meets the devil's son who joins him in retrieving a wealthy man's soul. That's the plot. I kid you not. Strike One for RTE's midnight schedule. The irony is, you and me finance this crap.
12.50 Cane. Frank and Alex find themselves facing danger at gunpoint. Isabelle is stranded in an elevator. Striiiiikkkkee Twooooo. Yup. We finance the purchase of this drivel as well.
1.40 The Big Bang Theory. Leonard and his friends force Sheldon to face his fear of driving. Strikkkkkkkeeee Threeeee RTE. And you're out.

TV3
(Pseudiferous television station owned by the most uninspired Canadians in the history of Canadians. This is the closest Ireland has to an independent television channel.)
4.30 Judge Judy. I like Judge Judy.
5.30 News. Get used to it.
6.00 Xpose. Celebrity gossip programme.
6.30 Friends. I quite like Friends.
7.00 Emmerdale. Cor blimey meets Eee by gum.
7.30 Little People Big World. Who cares?
8.00 Huge Moves. What is the point?
9.00 I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here USA. I'm going to cry.
10.00 Too Posh To Pay. Crime among the British middle class. This is a documentary we all need to watch because it's just so relevant to all our lives. Yawwwwnnnn.
11.00 Nightly News With Vincent Browne. Subtitled: Old Maoist Remembers. The usual anti Catholic nonce. Browne ran a famously intimidatory and aggressive regime while editor at a newspaper called The Sunday Tribune. I mean famously intimidatory and aggressive for those people unfortunate enough to be working for him. His pieties about harsh regimes at Catholic Church run schools thus have a peculiarly hypocritical ring. Browne was nice to me though once when I rang him as a student. The Sunday Tribune never made a profit. In fact every publication Brown has been associated with has gone bust. Yet this atheistic Marxist has never had difficulty being offered programmes to host on television and radio stations in Ireland. It's most strange. I wonder who decides these things. My sister in law guested on this programme by the way. She quite liked him.
