Ireland ain't what it used to be

Walt is sad to report tha' the Auld Sod doesn't feel very Irish any more. A few years back the plain people o' Ireland (pace Myles na gCopaleen), overwhelmed perhaps by immigrants from the rest of the European Union, elected a prime minister who was not only not Irish but not white, and as gay as 18 balloons to boot.

The Church did not preach against him, because the Church has itself become a nest of homosexuals and male feminists, just like the Church in America. And the plain people have reacted accordingly, turning away from the Church of Francis in a reversal not seen since Québec's "quiet revolution" of 1960.

In a word, the Ireland of today is not the Ireland you see portrayed in the Family Guy episode where Peter Griffin goes to Eire to find his father. It's nuttin' like that, nuttin' at all. It's a shame, so it is. All the same, those of us with a pint or so of Irish blood in us can still celebrate the land of our ancestors.

 

Walt, Ed. and Poor Len -- all of us Irish today -- wish all of yez

 Happy Saint Paddy's Day!
