I enjoyed this post very much.  I think they’re a whole area of ethnic conscious writing and spiritual work to be done for the Irish in America.

All of the Irish politicians, novelists, editorialists, comedians and lest we forget step-dancers offer rich subject matter for study and discussion.

Let’s get to work—no excuses!

Well, aside from the more negative aspects of the Irish American psyche, I love the gift to our culture of Irish folk music! (And Guinness!), and the exquisite and unique visual expression of faith seen in Celtic manuscript illumination (the Book of Kells being the pinnacle)! And I love Irish dancing too!
