Every time I hear of something like this, I think of Bubba running all over the world apologizing to everyone for stuff that happened hundreds of years ago.
To: dennisw
Yeah, I heard Yasser was going to substitute new wording for the Palistinian mantra "Death to Israel".
The new wording will be "Dang Israel anyway".

Well progress. Now if only the British would say they were sorry for the Irish dead by Cromwell, the potato famine and the repressions to occupy Ireland for these many years. Wouldn't you like to see peace?

Every time that my Irish cousins welcome Bubba with open arms or lob bombs-I cringe. I find it hard to believe that we share the same genes.

Despite that the gutless fascist and former Blair-KKKli'toon-NATO Neo-Axis cohort , Turdway Tony Blair, has already cravenly surrendered to that obscene, mass-murdering mob of Marxist-Hitlerist, bank-robbing, drug-dealing, psychopathic, gangster bastards; that the gang's multinational murder-for-hire operations; recently on view in Columbia; have long been known to all of the world's security services: -- now that Our Beloved FRaternal Republic's President and Armed Forces Commander In Chief, George Walker Bush, recently made clear America's position on all terrorism -- who can wonder that; comprised as it is of legless anonymous cowards; it tucks its goose-step-like strutting away for the minute -- and pretends remorse for its barbarism?
And offers up a few crocodile tears?

Lest all the Liam O'Shaunessey's of the world sue me, the "real" IRA spokesman's name is "P O'Neill," as always. (Sort of like "His Holiness is
always in excellent health until he is dead.")
It's a good thing I'm not married to the people to whom you are married. My 52 1/2 year old colon is a bit cantankerous. OK, sometimes treacherous. And I stopped eating chile relenos a long time ago.
To: Wild Irish Rogue
Yes. But you'll note that the IRA never apologized when Bubba was around. I think maybe they were getting a little worried now that Bubba's gone - I mean, might someone think they were TERRORISTS?
Bubba didn't believe in terrorists (at least, if they were leftists), and while Bush could be a little more outspoken about it, he does. I think a lot of these groups are getting the message. The IRA obviously did.

As for "fixing yourself," I don't have to tell you that those adjustments come on a scale from "take your time" to flashing red "Urgent."

Modern Britain owe the Irish no apologies for Cromwell.
The potato famine was "Britain's fault" in the same way United States of America's Greatest Post-Founding Father President Ronald Reagan was responsible for AIDS.
And there is not and never has been British "repression" and "occupation" in and/or of Iralend.

If you ask some people I'm married to
And how many people are you married to?
To: livius
You are absolutely on the mark!
To: one_particular_harbour
If you ask some people I'm married to, farting in public, belching in public, or, um, fixing yourself is a horrendous crime.I'm lucky. I can do anything I like so long as I say 'Excuse me' after.
