Jim Corr to assume interim leadership of Fianna Fail
- keeping the FF party together long enough to elect a new leader
- helping to rebrand the party as a realistic option for the March elections
- keeping Batt O'Keeffe away from the Lizard People
- wrapping tin foil around the heads of the cabinet so they are no longer being influenced by "the EU".
- Mass Dubunking
- carrying out his duties as Taoiseach
- keeping a firm hand on the levers of power
- drinking and singing sad songs
- keeping a firm hand on his pint
- more singing
- keeping a firm hand on the bar
- keeping his dinner down
- finding his way home
- crying
- making rude calls at 4am to Willie O'Dea and Micheal Martin
- more crying
- falling asleep on the stairs in just his underpants
Radio moment of the week
Wednesday's Liveline (RTÉ Radio 1, weekdays) featured predictable wailing about the profane language ofMrs Brown's Boys , starring Brendan O'Carroll, and The Savage Eye , with David McSavage. Joe Duffy dissected the merits of the two TV comedies. Duffy said McSavage was a good actor but was sniffy about his fans in the press. "All the TV critics and The Irish Times love David McSavage and his right-on humour," said Duffy, "but they don't like Brendan O'Carroll because he's too mainstream."
Duffy then delivered the coup de grace: Mrs Brown's Boys got 760,000 viewers, The Savage Eye only 130,000. The public's verdict is the only one that matters to a mainstream figure such as Duffy.

Micheal Martin- Survivor?
But Martin will be an Admiral Donitz leading a doomed organisation still trying to exert power and prestige it no longer has.
Like Hitler's successor Martin will be in charge of nothing with nothing to do but arrange the surrender and wind up of the party. Whatever dreams he held of leading a real government or even effecting change will be gone forever when Brian Cowen leads Fianna Fail into the valley of death on March 11th in one last crazy calvary charge at the cannons.
But this time it won't be the Light Brigade who fall, it will be the Heavy Brigade, some of whom, Harney, Ahern, Dempsey, Cullen, O'Keeffe have already fallen from their horses to join the likes of liar Beverly "Licence Fee" Flynn.
Cowen will charge onwards even as his officers openly question his ability to command and other disloyal troops try to make their own way by distancing themselves from the party, but it will be too late for them.
They are surrounded by their enemies, outmaneuvered, under-gunned and out of ammo in a war of their own creation.
Cowen has even been betrayed by his former Minister of Defence and Propaganda chief Willie O'Dea. It is too late to fire him, as he already did that and he now lacks the power to string him up with piano wire. All he can hope for is that O'Dea is shot down with him and the rest on March 11th.
In the meantime Martin waits for the bomb to drop in the hope that he survives and is appointed Furher upon Cowen's demise.
Last days of Cowen
50 feet below the gardens of Government Buildings, Cowen sits in his bunker receiving the last of his true supporters as they shuffle in to his presence.
Behind him stands the ever-loyal Brian Lenihan who has decided to stay with his Fuhrer to the end.
Though he won't admit it Lenihan is already planning for a world without Cowen, when the struggle for power is over and the rebuilding must begin from nothing.
Down the hall in the press office reports of imminent defeats and current set-backs flood in on an hourly basis while once loyal generals like Dempsey, Harney and Ahern resign their commission on the battlefield and flee the electorate in terror.
Morale is low and desertions are now rampant among the party members and the troops.
Cowen is forced to add meaningless titles and high office to those troops who still remain loyal, though their resources are nil and time is running out.
Over at Party Headquarters on Lower Mount Street there is chaos. The staff are shredding Micheal Martin's photographs under the watchful eye of the fanatical Hitler Youth leader Dara Calleary while the rest of the staff update their CVs and prepare to flee before the biter end.
The massively popular storm troopers of Labour and Fine Gael are circling Government Buildings as they wait for the regime to tear itself apart before they finally pounce and end the struggle.
For Cowen it is only a matter of time. Meanwhile he waits on news of the economic miracle which he predicts will divide his enemies and allow him to snatch victory from defeat.
Meanwhile the weather isn't getting any better
