Well it pays pretty good, and the best thing there's no law against wearing your pants at half mast if its for a good cause, and as everybody knows the GFA was one hell of a good cause,its such a mad wonderful idea,if he was to put his name forward, i'm pretty sure the other candidates would even vote him in.

While reading the above article (which I took with a grain of salt), I realized that there are a few good reasons why the Irish electorate should vote for Billl Clinton if they given a chance. As U.S. President Clinton made a significant contribution toward the G.F.A., which is a blessing to all of Ireland, North and South; at one stage of the peace process, President Clinton indicated an interest in teanga na nGael; if Clinton should become Uachtarán na hÉireann, he would be folling in the footsteps of Douglas Hyde and Erskine Childers who were also Protestants. I never voted in any election in the Irish state, having left the place as a teenager, but I would support the former U.S. president if ran for office in Ireland, as would my wife, a New England Methodist and a D.A.R member.

Hillary in the US in 2016 and Bill in Ireland in 2018. The perfect combination to cement Irish-American relationships! But then Bill is already President of the World for as long as he wants to keep that post. Does this French Law mean all Canadians are eligible to be elected in France?

It's too cold in Ireland to run around with your pants down at your ankles.

My calendar must be out of date, it says September 28th, but clearly it must be April 1st!
