Ireland to get a medal

In what? Boxing, of course :-)

Since Drinking and Shillelagh Thumping aren't Olympic sports.

"Belfast boxer Paddy Barnes claimed the Irish team's first medal at the Beijing Olympics after a quarter-final win over Poland's Lukasz Maszczyk on Tuesday. "

Overheard

County sheriff from a rural part of Virginia, speaking to a women's defense gathering.

Question: "What kind of gun do you carry?"

Sheriff: "I carry a .45 on duty and off."

Question: "That's a really big bullet. Why do you carry a forty-five?"

Sheriff: "Because they don't make a forty-six."

Olympics

You would think that with all their sand, Saudi Arabia could put together a first rate womens beach volleyball team.

Irish view on our election!!

We, in Ireland, can't figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States.On one side, you have a pants wearing lawyer, married to a lawyer who can't keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer who goes to the wrong church who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run.

Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name appropriately starts with "Mc", married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What in the Lord's name is hard about this decision??
