Sarah Palin attacks John F.Kennedy on the basis of running away from his Catholic religion in her latest book 'America By Heart.'

She has some cheek, given that Palin is a failed Catholic herself, having given up on the religion of her Irish forefathers and encompassed one of those hip born-again evangelical identities-- you know the ones where Jesus appears in your rear view mirror and converts you.

Palin attacks Kennedy for his 1960 campaign remark that "I am not the Catholic candidate for president.I am the Democratic Party's candidate for president who also happens to be Catholic."

'The luck of the Irish has run out.. the primary problem is that the European model of providing cradle-to-grave entitlements is no longer sustainable"

So Bill O'Reilly diagnoses the Irish financial meltdown in his weekly column.

It is a classic right-wing analysis of what allegedly happened.

Sarah Palin's new book "America By Heart" makes disgraceful allegations about President Obama calling him an America hater and a racist.

In a front page article The New York Times has focused attention on the number of young Irish fleeing Ireland as the recession bites.

"Hunt for Jobs Sends the Irish Abroad Again" is the headline, just the latest in a series of Celtic Tiger dismantling articles that have been in the U.S. media in recent weeks.

The main focus is Antoinete Shields, who once employed 26 people in her construction company and now cannot even give work to her son who is on his way overseas.

European Union intervention is underway in the Irish bank crisis the main opposition finance spokesman Michael Noonan has told the BBC.

Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston, has been slammed by the spokeswoman of an abuse victims group for his celebration of Mass in Dublin yesterday with two bishops named in the Murphy child abuse report.

O'Malley is in Dublin as part of a Vatican mission to examine how the post-sex abuse church is enforcing new guidelines.

Glenn Beck has gone too far this time and should be fired.

He has revealed himself as anti-Semitic, a charge taken up by the Jewish anti-defamation league who have strongly challenged him on recent comments about George Soros.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Tom Foley has conceded defeat to his Democratic rival Dan Malloy in the Connecticut governor’s race.

In a front page story on Monday "The New York Times" is reporting that Ireland’s debt woes have “stoked fear that it might even need to follow Greece and request a bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.”

Such a move could "do lasting damage to Ireland’s credit standing.” The Times says.

Keith Olbermann was right. He contributed to Democratic candidates as a citizen, which he is perfectly entitled to do. It is absurd that his bosses at MSNBC have decided to discipline him.

Over at Fox News they must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Rupert Murdoch and News International made it crystal clear when they backed conservative groups with over a $ 1 million donation that they were putting their money where their mouth was.

On the site a series of anti-black stories are published with lurid details about alleged incidents involving blacks.
