He's absolutely right about how we should not be so cocky here in the States. You'd think we might have had some of it already pounded out of us, but apparently not based on the snottiness I cetected coming from the interviewer.

I'd like to buy that Irishman a drink.

Now, if only we could get somebody honest like this man in the United States. Just anybody in the media to lay out those points, minus all the cursing, so that the FCC does not remove them.

I'd like to buy that guy a drink, too. Any way we can find out who he is?

A "real" Irishman? As opposed to...an imaginary one? Reminds me of a character called Skink in Carl Hiaasen's books lol.

Skink was former governor of Florida. No Irishman. He has great teeth still, no doubt helped by his healthy diet of roadkill.

Hmmmmmm,. Peregrinus; you and me resemble each other greatly in our reading.

LOL...must be a Libra thing

I love Skink. He may have Irish in his ancestry, who knows? The guy surely knows how to make a statement lol

And he's a gentleman at heart...

It reminds me of Anthony Flew's No True Scotsman Fallacy.
