Cool it
The great Western Australia canal brouhaha continues in the lead-up to the state election. (For those not aware of state politics, the Liberal [conservative] opposition has proposed building a canal to carry water from the state's seasonally wet north to Perth. See Robert Corr's Kick and Scream for more information and links.) Over the years various water production and transportation schemes, including the towing of Antarctic icebergs, have been proposed for Australia's densely populated but dryish regions.
Irish artist Rita Duffy has proposed an equally grand scheme of her own, to tow a Norwegian iceberg to Northern Ireland. The perfectly sensible objective of such a mammoth undertaking being to cool decades old tensions between Protestants and Catholics.
Iceberg ... cool tensions ... fucking idiot.

This "Irish Iceberg" idea puzzles me as well. I thought that the Irish drank their beer warm. ;-)
That was preposterously close to being funny. I mean, like, you know, very close.
