Gen X in Ireland

JenX67 had a fascinating link to a piece by an Irish Gen Xer bemoaning how tough it is for his generation there.

Really interesting, since we're so heads-down about our own financial woes in America, to see what's going on in the lives and heads of Europeans.

Especially since when we visited Ireland in 1999, it was called "the Celtic Tiger" and there were construction cranes busily working everywhere.

Barack O'Bama

Yes, Barack Obama has Irish blood, God bless him, and this song is a hilarious and catchy tribute to that.

(Thanks to my sister Clio for the link!)
