An Announcement

The Ironist of the Day award for March 19, 2005 goes to Charles Kennedy of the Liberal Democrats (UK) for this jibe against Labour (UK) : 'If Labour remains hung up on gay issues, people will think they are weird.' To which, however, the Transparent Ironist, as the official ironist of the Labouring masses, is forced to reply : 'If Charles Kennedy remains silent on gay issues, people will think he is neither a liberal nor a democrat.'
