A PROPER IRISH LIE

"Another characteristic of the Irish--perhaps their most endearing--is their lightheartedness. A result, no doubt, of the depth of their belief in the hereafter. It's only a short time here, so there's no use taking it all too seriously."

Antonin Scalia

"The wonderful thing about a proper Irish lie is that it does not matter if it is believed. It is such a bold, courageous, imaginative invention that, even when you see through it, you are so impressed with the quality of mind that could concoct such nonsense that it is impossible to have anything but admiration for the author."

As For The Wests

Our children have O'Tooles on one side, and a strong presence of McCoys on the other. Give me time to ponder that . . .

Colour Me Smiling,
