The notion of "taking over" is also offensive. All people are looking for is representation.

I was on the fence, but now I HAVE to stop in for a pint after work.

Face it, when you've lost Guinness, you've lost Ireland.

Boycott Guinness?

But breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Guinness is also lower in calories than Bud, Coors, Sam Adams, etc. And only 4% alcohol.

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde couldn't march in his own parade.

Heineken also withdrew as a sponsor. In fact, that they, along with Sam Adams, withdrew first.

May you find yourself in heaven an hour before the Devil knows you're dead. Unless you're a Republican, of course.

Those Savage boys are hooligans with filthy mouths and quick minds.

The St. Patrick's Day Parades ARE very similar to Gay Pride parades. Both were intended as political events, neither were intended as religious observances, and both have strayed a bit from their roots to be a bit rowdier.

St. Patrick's Day parades began in the United States as basically an Irish Pride Parade. The first St. Patrick's Day parades in Ireland were held 200 years after the first ones in America.

Here's my editorial about it that I wrote several years ago:

That's right, St. Patrick's Day is a holiday in Boston.

The very idea of the Irish boycotting Guinness may be the greatest sign that Rupert Murdoch is completely out of touch with reality and the lives of real people.

This is probably just a ham-fisted ploy by Murdoch to get people to start drinking more Aussie beer...

I think Mr. Murdoch should change his Twitter name to " The Evil Prune's latest thoughts".. I guess he is not so upset about the Catholic Church's view of his three divorces, and committing adultery.

Rupe's tweets have really gone around the bend since he broke up with Wendy.

Mr Savage may not be faultless, but Mr Turn The Seventh Cheek is NOT wiser, just perhaps more verbose.

Hey Rupard, your Irish lesson for the day:

Póg mo thóin, Agus pointa Gúinness le do thoil.
