Yep, here they come. Strongbow… Elizabeth the First… Penal

Laws… Famine… Bloody Sunday… Zzzzzzzzz. Why don’t you guys go read my deconstruction of the glorious 1916

uprising here.

On the Huntington flap: It seems to me–I have lived here for 12

years–that there are far more Jews in Huntington than Irish. Since Ollie

was so nice to the Jews while being beastly to the Irish, I think the Jews

of Huntington should get together to defend their man against the assaults

of the wild Fenians.

(I passed a remark in some piece I can’t find, a year or so ago, that in

“Irish-America” it is for ever 1846. Plainly I was wrong. In Huntington,

at least, it is still 1649.)
