3. A second Dubya term caused cousins to claim the Irish right to return

although none of them actually went there. They hold dual citizenship now.

I thought about it but the Irish weather, even in the south where my family hailed from, is a disincentive. I'm too used to the high desert. It suits me.

I fully expect emails saying "surprise! Guess where I am!" as the administration continues to descend into total farce.

I'm just wondering how long entrenched old money is going to allow new money to make such arses of themselves. My guess is that it will last until some sort of billionaire tax cut passes and then the boom will be lowered, the riot act will be read and we'll hear a lot less about things like spite tariffs against countries King Pillock doesn't like.
