Irish Wanking Bankers
One Irishman's opinion on the demise of the Celtic Tiger. And for those who've never heard of Michael Flatley or Riverdance, go here. Roger Ebert gives it two thumbs way up.
(Probably NSFW.)


Seriously, I could listen to an old Irishman talk about anything and enjoy it. They are lyrical storytellers like no one else.
Hopefully humanity will one day learn to be humane.
I'd like to buy him a pint.
What we need is a debt (of the working people) jubilee.
At the same time, we need a substantial number of Fat Cats in the hoosegow.
Forget Riverdance, who among the working class can afford those tickets anyway?

Well, the Nihilists have the home field advantage since they own all the homes.
And the stadiums.
And the ball.
And they can pay off the players, the umps and the refs.
Well, they may blitz, but we can throw the bomb!
Oh shit, they own all the dynamite, too...

You go, foul-mouthed elderly man.
I think we have found the person to primary against Obama. We'll just have to forge a couple of Hawai'ian birth certificates and we'll be in business!
I like this fellow.
where Denis was born, an island not nearly as warm as Hawaii ...
here he is in earlier days (he's on the left ...)

The Irishman is Denis Ryan, formerly of the Irish folk group Ryan's Fancy (http://www.ryansfancy.com/bio.htm). The man from "Financial News" is Tony Quinn, a Halifax folksinger/comedian. It was filmed on the streets of Halifax, Nova Scotia, earlier this week. More on it at http://contrarian.ca/2010/12/10/allnovascotia...

Tis a grand rant, regardless!

He's one of your neighbours.
far left loon >.<
in Atlantic Canada, and the "interviewer" is a very well known musician/comedian/MC ...the sad fact that an allegedly 'local' online 'news' source didn't even recognize who these people were right away and realize it was just a joke is the real story here... they werent trying to prank anybody ... but online aggregator phony news sites sure do.

What was that shit-for-brains interviewer trying to prove with that Michael Flatley crack?? "Fuck off!" is right. Let's get this guy on Bill O'Reilly's show - let's see Billo try to bully a REAL Irishman.

Well, to prove his point, we *did* elect teatards and Liberarians, and as we all know, Libertarianism is a philosophy for narcissists and retards.
Damn right it is. What a dumbass interviewer, looks like he took his shitty rubber knife to a gunfight with this fine Irish gentleman who put him in his proper place.
I hope I have the opportunity to drink a Guinness with this honest Irishman someday---slainte friend!

And nothing fucking happens.
Not willing to go camp out on Obama's lawn?
Then you deserve to lie there in your swaddling Snuggies watching obscene drivel pouring out of your televisions and licking the wank off your faces put there by those who would.
If blogging don't work, and voting don't work, then what is left?
Look at that dark empty mall in Washington.
Not one fucking protestor.
Everybody's home stroking their Chia Shreks and sniveling and whimpering and laying their chicken-feather breasts over the yawning maws of their chubby self-centered broods.
Everything can happen, and no that's not good, and Americans happily reap the rewards splooged into their faces.
I'm a lot like Ricky Gervais and the Golden Globes: Why?
He gave me a smile. There's something to be said for that anyway.
You pitch the first tent since you seem to want to lead the way. I'm right there with ya as soon as I see you leading the charge. We can freeze together. Won't be too much colder than my house where I'm freezing alone.
You just can't find it.
Why don't you, instead of looking forever for my tent, go pitch your own?
On the Mall?
I'm a lot like Ricky Gervais and the Golden Globes: Why?
I love this man! Diff Anon I wish we could have a politician with balls like this! We need some fire in the Democratic party instead of cowardly appeasement for corporate-owned criminal representatives of he oligarchy.
I never dreamed I'd say it, but to hell wtih Obama.
... so fucked. The Irish got a really bad deal when they decided to put the banks ahead of their people. I remember reading that their only choices now are
1) Welch on the deal. Go into default, and most likely crash Europe's financial system, sinking Ireland's credit rating for at least a generation
or
2) Pay up. This way, Ireland's people are basically serfs to the international banking community.
Why these fuckers aren't swinging on the ends of ropes in the lobbies of their precious banks is beyond me.
"BTW, Michael Flatley's really from Chicago, did you know that?"
"F-Off!" ROTFL.

The English won't be pussies like in the US when they get fucked over . We've seen the student's protesting, and the government has its' shorts in a knot over the "mistreatment" of Prince Charles and
mistresswife. He should remember that 225 years ago persons of his station in France were staring at the bottom of a basket.How long before the pot boils over?
No need for the English monarchs to look across the channel for an historical caution. Charles I Stuart I think it was, did not have a particularly happy ending.
MSNBC needs to find this man and offer him a job post haste
are well aware that the Royals of other nations (and their own) have historically been killed. It's one reason they are not so ethically vacuous as the nouveau riche.
One of my ancestors was one of a minor knighthood who had the distinction of being the last in England beheaded.

At their bank do you need deposit slips
Or tissue paper?

I'd say there was a lot more than a wee bit!
Telling it like it is; good stuff.
