Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days" has nothing on arandi who's been to Vietnam in the 60s and Northern Ireland in the 80s-90s
[Read the article: Memo to Clinton and Obama: Stop spinning]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]in the blink of an eye. Arandi approves of the Vietcong for their polite speech patterns and I'm sure their table manners were sheer perfection as well. The Romans liked orgies and were very liberal in that regard but they could be rotten as well because they had a lousy habit of crucifying those who spoke against them, including the Greek gladiator, Spartacus. You lucky Americans can say anything you like and Jeremiah Riot is cheered to the rafters when he curses the United States. Spartacus should have been so lucky!
Arandi thinks that "white Catholics" supported the IRA and that the FBI as well as Homeland Security should investigate. The FBI has investigated, as many IRA supporters lived in Boston and today might be singing "Come back to Erin, mavourneen, mavourneen, come back to Erin the land of your birth" while getting pie-eyed in the process. Trouble is, Ireland is hardly ever the land of their birth and we could do without their poxy politicking. As for Homeland Security, arandi you really should keep up with the news or it might be a surprise to you to learn that the Dutch have invaded Holland. The Good Friday Agreement was signed in Belfast ten years ago which gave the people of this island the peace we crave. I suppose you might know that Bono is a Dublin-born Protestant and that doesn'nt matter a damn to anyone in Ireland. The IRA has been inactive for the last ten years; Homeland Security resulted from the attack by jihadists on New York in 200l. If you want to alert Homeland Security to some Plastic Paddys around Boston for being a threat to America, why not? But maybe you should let them finish their green-tinted pints first.

redgti2000, That sign in the zoo doesn't make any sense because the animals did'nt write it
[Read the article: Memo to Clinton and Obama: Stop spinning]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Those animals shouldn't be in a zoo, in the first place, and some "bossy boots" decides to deprive them of pleasure. As for trolls, they are Scandinavian imps with wild hair and I'm very surprised that some functionary at the Norwegian Embassy hasn;t sent a formal complaint to Washington about the disrespectful way that Americans refer to this little North European goblin. Ferraro and Miah Riot are making waves but the Norwegians also have a right to be offended. I sincerely hope that there's an Equal Opportunities policy somewhere in the western world which gives each one of us the right to get into a huff about something. "Leprechauns" and "trolls" probably have feelings too and it might be unwise to incur their wrath.
Piece of cake, I hardly ever know whether I'm coming or going but when I tell you my favourite actors are Bette Midler and Jack Nicholson that might provide a clue to my personality because, honest to God, I'm a bit of a mystery to myself. I'm going to have some wine now and I may not be back today but if I get a bit squiffy you'd never know. Woe to the misery-makers and begrudgers!..The Romans were right about one thing, whatever else, when their motto was "Carpe diem", a fancy version of "Eat, drink and make merry, for tomorrow we die".

Tom Payne, I've only had a few sips of wine but I've noticed that you've misspelt Guinness. Weren't you over at War Room doing a bit of race-baiting just now?
[Read the article: Memo to Clinton and Obama: Stop spinning]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm terribly hurt at being considered "thick" by someone of your towering intellect who tries to make racist capital out of a comedian's name, Sinbad. Sinbad the Sailor is a story from the Middle East, you humourless dolt. Maybe you can now examine the etymology of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves to see if there's anything there to prick your insecurities. Keep on stereotyping as I reckon that's about all you can do. Your baleful, sour comments should be enough for any Paddy, plastic or otherwise, to avoid you as a gorgon without the Gorgonzola because you have a grudge against Italians too.
