   Well, McNalley’s late so I can’t refuse a chance to pen a line on St Paddy Day. I think about how Catholic the Irish are–and a superstitious Catholic too. And if they’re not Catholic, then they’re liberal and pro-labor. But they’ve produced a notable lot of poets and authors and they’re usually pretty competent in anything they do. My grandfather was pure Irish; that and if I did dance, it would be that foot dance. There’s that stubborness too, and a rebel yell in the face of death, that’s Irish.

   Neo,

   As a former South-Sider, I sent this around to my old pals, the names of whom would make you think you’re reading the credits of a Barry Fitzgerald movie.

   Thanks.

   I’m Irish, both sides of the family. No longer Catholic, not union, and not a democrat. But the Banshees won’t leave me alone.

   Thanks Neo. The Sneaky Steppers: I love it! Every time I see one of these it makes me want to go and hang out in a railway station, hoping for a flash mob. Well, almost!

    @Curtis — Dump your assumptions in the trash bin. I know many who are ex-Catholic and very libertarian; not lib, not pro-labor. Including meself.

    I love that answer, br549.

    Donnie Gall, if you might provide some stats? I was kind of thinking JFK and fairly recent history. Perhaps the new crop is more diverse. There’s also got to be quite a difference between Ireland Irish and American Irish. But your answer, “I know many,” commits the first error of argument by assuming anecdotal evidence corresponds to the general picture.
