Who said Democracy was boring? Belfast proves them wrong!
For those of you who don't know, folks are trying to kick-start representative democracy back into action here in Belfast. Those pesky politicians met today at a place called Stormont.
All was going kinda well, well maybe not that well...well, we'll never quite know because a guy by the name of Michael Stone entered the building with a knife, a gun and 6 to 8 explosive devices.

Years ago Michael Stone killed some people:
1988: Three shot dead at Milltown Cemetery
Yet, several years later he was set free under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.
I don't think they'll let him out again.
Am not trying to be flippant Dear Reader. It's just that sometimes this place gets to you.
What I need tonight is a bit of levity - submitted for your enjoyment some clips of the incomparable Andy Kaufman. He always brings a smile to my face.
