Bad News From Ireland
So now I notice that Roger’s paid Google adword for “meehawl” points to a rather bizarre little set of Irish news snippets. I applaud this financial Rubicon and earnestly hope that it’ll stop him spamming my Comments facility with the same kind of nonsense.
Well, at least he’s figured out that you’re Irish now….
You do know that the advert was meant in jest. I’ve modified it somewhat. Had all sorts of plans for doing a blog called “Meeballs” complete with lots of pictures of tractors (not bulldozers), etc. You might enjoy the new link when you type meehawl at google.
I’ve also updated Land of Ire for my own amusement. The intent was, all along, to show that you can find bad news, oppression, etc, wherever you look, and it’s pretty pointless and counter productive to be myopic about what country is good or bad. I have a friend from Denmark, who thought they could do no wrong. I essentially did the same thing I did to Ireland, with Denmark, and pulled up all sorts of racist incidents, forcing indigenous people out of their land, murder, corruption, indifference, etc.

Orthodox Jew attacked outside crowded Berlin caf ; received no assistance from onlookers
Mar. 24, 2003
An American Jew in traditional Orthodox dress was assaulted by four men late Sunday afternoon on the capital’s main shopping boulevard, police said Monday. One of the assailants swung at the 21-year-old rabbinical student, striking him in the face, and another threw an object at him, police said. The men, described as Middle Eastern in appearance, have not been identified or detained. The student was not hurt, but was shaken up by both the incident and the fact that no one at a crowded outdoor caf where the attack took place intervened.
