It always brings a smile to Wolfie's fangs when what goes around, comes around.
No nation on earth has done more to paint the Irish as a land of drunks and losers than Britain. For a Brit, an Irish joke comes as easily and a lot more often as a fart after a meal, and that's why this news item FROM A REAL AND PROPER BRITISH NEWS WEBSITE (Oops, the "caps" key must have gotten stuck! Damn these furry paws...) is such a wonderful treat.

Even among jaded New Yorkers, there are few people low enough to speak ill of the dead, much less shyte on their still-warm bodies.
This happily solitary voice from a century best forgotten chirps up every now and then to condemn this and decry that, as this is the only kind of language he is familiar with. If it's not in Donohue's version of the Bible, which he authored himself to ensure accuracy, it's evil and off to hell with you.

In every field of human endeavor, there are those for whom "good" is just not good enough.
Like the drug companies that work around the clock to quickly change their best-selling headache pill into one that doesn't cause an immediate eyeball explosion, so even the humble farrmer can rise above the rest of the crowd. And when he does, it is only right that his efforts are recognized.And so it is with both Irish pride and gratitude that Wolfie salutes an old cattle rancher from (pardon me if my spelling is slightly innacurate) County Awfully, whose little patch of heaven has just been named a "flagship farm" by McDonald's. (Maybe it'll be renamed "Old McDonald's Farm! Ha, ha! But I digress...)

New York Sen. Kristin Gillibrand certainly did her election prospects no good when she broke her promise to at a major Irish-American event Thursday night.
Gillibrand -- who was appointed to her seat to fill Hillary Clinton's -- was set to be keynote speaker at the Irish Voice newspaper’s "75 Most Influential Women” event held at the Irish Consulate.The event had been switched from Wednesday to Thursday night about a month ago -- to facilitate the senator's "busy schedule."

While everybody has been belly-aching about foreclosures and plummeting property values, the wise Connecticut senator, Chris Dodd, has literally performed a miracle.
For all of you idiots who think Wolfie just makes up the facts in this blog, try this one on for size!
Because I have GENUINE, IRREFUTABLE PROOF of them this time.
The simple facts are these:

Bill, Warren and all your very, very rich friends:
Wolfie is DELIGHTED to learn from his pal Niall O'Dowd that the real reason all you rich folks met in secret was to discuss how you could give away all your money!

As fast as my paws can hit the keyboard, the clergy child abuse scandal in Ireland is EXPLODING.
It's worse than anyone could have imagined. The numbers are staggering, and the emerging details of the coverups by Church bigwigs will be the next Cardinal's red shoe to drop.

Morning, wolf cubs!
Just a quick gem from my fellow forest-dweller, The Magpie, who leaves his droppings at The Irish Times in Dublin. Although it's numerically correct only for the Irish government, feel free to re-calculate it using your own currency.

It took a while for The Wolfhound's bark to be heard all the way up in Westchester County, but as always, Wolfie gets results!
Alert readers, if any, will recall that Wolfie took slight offense when the editor of Westchester magazine (now the "senior editor"), Robert Schork, penned a work of blood whose first sentence was "I hate St. Patrick's Day." His vile nonsense summoned up all the usual stereotypes of mobs of raving, drunken parade-goers who ruined his northward commute to the psychiatric center by remaining happy.

This was one of those weeks that The Wolfhound just could not decide who merited his first prestigious “Wolf Droppings” award. Sometimes, there’s just one idiot too many out there for a single winner.
So, Wolfie has had to split the award in half between two half-wits: New York Times employee Paul Krugman, the grand oracle of the U.S. economic scene, who has joined the out-of-tune chorus condemning Ireland to financial ruin; and elderly British outpatient David Starkey, a man who is both history and a historian.

First off, let me say that The Wolfhound is a good -- well, tries to be a good Irish Catholic (wolfhound).

As almost everyone knows, we are now in the second phase of the “New7Wonders of Nature” competition. Those who, like The Wolfhound, have been among the millions of members of the press keeping careful track of the 261 qualified national and multinational nominees around the clock know full well there will only be 77 lucky winners at this crucial phase.

Let's just get this out in the open. The Wolfhound hates Robert Schork. Hates him like a fart in a phonebooth.
Robert, or “Mr. Schork” or “Hey you!” to his friends, is at the helm of the well-known Westchester magazine, and declared in a recent column that he “hates St. Patrick’s Day.”
