I suppose it's election time coming up. Some politician or other is probably getting desperate.

Not the first thing to you'd expect at 7.30 in the morning in an unsuspecting Dublin suburb.

o.O Politicians with tanks are a bit worrisome. What're they going to do, mount speakers on them and yell about tax reform?

MAY-OR DEW-EY! I suppose they needed to move some tanks, and the best way is to just drive them down the road. Used to see that from time to time around military bases in CA.

yeah, I subsequently learned that there is actually a military base close to there. thank Christ it's not politicians! Although a tank would definitely make for an effective tax-reform platform
