Fuck its silent in here.......

I got some Irish in me (||) somewhere. I bought House of Pain's first two albums but the third one is crap.

The Dropkick Murphys can [bodily function] my [part of the human anatomy].  Fucking plastic Micks.

... muttered the Plastic Jock sheepishly.

I wondered how long that would take.  I could get all defensive asshurt about it, but I won't.

Okay, I will.  My Mother is Scots, born and bred, and I lived in Scotland until the age of three at which stage my old man's job took us all away.  My folks live back in Scotland now, however, and you can ask any of my many, many cousins who still live in and around Glasgow how Scottish they think I am*.  Most of your Boston "Irish" couldn't pick Ireland out on a map of Ireland.

* the answer is, of course, "completely" - wise guy.

I'm Irish. I can blow up a British car with the best of them and I can hold my whiskey. Outside of that I don't really shout it from the rooftops like those chodes.

Pfft.  Scotch Irish doesn't even count, ya Downstate Presbytarian hilljackal.

I know, I have a long way to go if I hope to catch up with you as the stereotype for a fat, drunken, incoherent, and ill-tempered paddy.

You forgot papist.

Not your fault.   I blame your Appalachian ancestors.

That too. My great-grandmother, whose parents had just come over here and were Protestants, once told my mom as a little girl that she couldn't talk to the Catholic boy down the street because "Catholics are bad people and they will lie and hurt you."

When I learned as a kid from a Lutheran friend that Protestants and Catholics didn't get along I didn't quite get why.  Imagine my confusion  when I later learned that Polish Catholics and Italian Catholics had their issues.   There weren't any  Irish Catholics in my neighborhood.   I know that I would never be able to  make any sense out of everyone who hated them.

Yeah, well, at least they weren't Kikes. I mean, AMIRITE?

Christine O'Donnell, everybody!

The exchange came in a debate before an audience of legal scholars and law students at Widener University Law School, as O'Donnell criticized Democratic nominee Chris Coons' position that teaching creationism in public school would violate the First Amendment by promoting religious doctrine.

Coons said private and parochial schools are free to teach creationism but that "religious doctrine doesn't belong in our public schools."

"Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?" O'Donnell asked him.

When Coons responded that the First Amendment bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion, O'Donnell asked: "You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?"

Her comments, in a debate aired on radio station WDEL, generated a buzz in the audience.

"You actually audibly heard the crowd gasp," Widener University political scientist Wesley Leckrone said after the debate, adding that it raised questions about O'Donnell's grasp of the Constitution.

O'Donnell didn't respond to reporters who asked her to clarify her views after the debate.

During the exchange, she said Coons' views on creationism showed that he believes in big-government mandates.

"Talk about imposing your beliefs on the local schools," she said. "You've just proved how little you know not just about constitutional law but about the theory of evolution."

O'Donnell, eh?  If that freckle-faced bitch was able to say anything while her tongue was swollen from the whiskey, I still would've been too distracted by her crimson hair to have noticed!

Watching the Kirk - Alexi debate right now. Kirk actually seems reasonable, whereas Alexi seems to be playing to the cameras.

Difficult choice for voters, and yes, I'm being serious.

They are both douches. They are both lying, career politicians who will vote based on the whims of the special interests who own them. Big business owns both parties.

Alexi isn't a career politician.  He's been in politics for 4 years.  He's the dumb son of a rich bank owner who slept at the switch and helped bankrupt said bank (at taxpayer expense) while he pursued his ambition of power and poontang.

[FrankS]

Okay, Alexi isn't a career politician. He just plans on being one the rest of his life. And he's still a douche.

I made the mistake of answering a telephone opinion poll regarding some of the Illinois races. When asked about Kirk versus Giannoulias, I told the person that I didn't want to vote for either of the candidates. And I may not. I have been literally buried under an avalanche of junk mail this year and it just makes me sick.
