    Everyone's got a bit of Irish in them. For me it is usually Tuesday and Saturday nights.

    Oh, also, he is clearly not Irish, because all Irish presidents are legally required to be called Mary, as is well known.

    Ha - the passive-aggressive guilt-inducing tone in that statement is so Irish. Sounds like my parents.

    I'll tell you a story about feckin bono and his feckin shades and his feckin cuban heels:


    He was in Milanos for drinks this past week (true story) and having had a few rounds he left a $2 tip. As he left, Jackie the bartender held up the two bucks and sang 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for'.

    @Scotland: Or, funnily enough (and rather archaically), a protestant. As seen in Will and Grace, but it really was quite common at one time for Irish Catholics to call Irish Protestants 'black' or 'black protestant'.

    And there's no such thing as an Irish Protestant.

    @Robert Synnott: No, kiddo, they came from Scotland. The Scots-Irish. My family is thick with them, and they're as Presbyterian as John Calvin. And poor and parsimonious and tough as Madonna's gristly arms. In fact, they ARE Madonna's gristly arms. And they wear orange on St. Paddy's, just to piss everybody off.

    Can I wear orange in protest?

    You can tell he's only 3.1% Irish- his wife and kids are only 3.1% dysfunctional and they aren't trolling Georgetown to see what pub Da's passed out in and drag him home.
