Were you or were you not disappointed, furious, disillusioned or frustrated by the recent cabinet reshuffle by Brian Cowen? There are those who pay attention to these things and those who don’t anymore. The latter group used to keep themselves well apprised but came to a decision that it would probably be better for everyone to turn their back on it all. And implicit in their act was the realization that there is no future in making yourself angry over people who clearly have no ability to do anything not being able to do anything.
They got up one day and thought that they wouldn’t lose the plot with a six year old who couldn’t grasp quadratic equations or they wouldn’t whip themselves into a frenzy chastising their pet terrier for not being able to put on a DVD. And this epiphany was arrived at by analyzing trends, not in any formal or premeditated way but more by just noticing things. The terrier has never displayed any proficiency in electronics, this is something they just noticed. The six year old can only handle 2+ tables, this is just something they noticed. The people who occupy the positions we know as cabinet positions are people who have no discernible talent, proficiency, flair or ability in any field. So to pin too much hope on the outcome of a rearrangement of these people, an event which involved nothing more than having a few of them swap offices or adding or omitting a word in the description of their “role” is stupid. To expect the fabled reshuffle to buck well established trends and render people with a long and illustrious history of uselessness useful is just stupid.
And the people who don't pay attention anymore are not stupid, they are righteous folk who just grew tired of being made to feel stupid by people who really are stupid. So they threw in the towel. They hung up their gloves. And they’re happy now.
Going forward.
