Ireland turned blue?

This blog couldn't resist the urge to vomit on himself when he accidentally bypassed facebook and ended up on the Fine gael website, which proudly boasted that they had turned Ireland blue.

Turned Ireland blue???

As I wiped the vomit from my lap, two things ran through my head.

First, hadn't Fianna Fail already succeeded in turning Ireland blue when the sunk our nation into abyssal debt and never ending misery? And second, just what were Fine Gael celebrating?

Despite being the main opposition against the most hated government in the history of the state, they only managed to win 76 seats. Hardly a whooping victory when you consider that Fianna Fail won 77 seats in 1997 and 81 in 2002. Now they must enter government with Labour, meaning that half the things they promised the electorate will not come to pass.

I also found an interactive game which featured a cartoon version of Enda Kenny running across the screen while it loaded. I didn't wait for it to load. I found it quite boring. Suggestion to Fine Gael Techies - Next time have a guy with a shotgun chasing Kenny. I would find it far more entertaining.
