Just in the unlikely event that you don’t know the real answer — it’s not about sodomy; rather it’s whenever the subject is, or touches upon, Ireland. (Which means, at least 50% of my Comments :) It’s to honor Sean for his (to me at least) hilariously accurate wisecrack some time back — following one of my blarneyfied Pontifications about Hibernian parallels to something-or-other — that “It always comes back to Ireland, doesn’t it?” :) My “Hi Sean” hopes to be simultaneously ragging and self-deprecating. / Now that dissection has killed my sly humor, if I had any sense I’d abandon it.

By oppression’s woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty’s in every blow!
Let us do, or die!

btw Sean, if you read this: I’m *sure* I saw your Mom briefly on a TV news report recently, at a good liberal anti-Rowlandism demonstration at the Capitol, by “One Connecticut”, a fine coalition of exactly the kind of groups that would drive Andrew nuts. :) Hurrah for Gretchen Vivier sez I! Her heart’s in the right place: left of center. (Hi Andrew)
Still though, there appears to be a large intersection of the roads of sodomy and Ireland….
I suppose it’s “right” for the heart to be slightly left-of-center in the chest cavity, but I wouldn’t push the metaphor. I’d rather live in a society with a bunch of rational, libertarian-minded but coldhearted people than with a bunch of nitwits who unwittingly build an oppressive government through misplaced good intentions. But we know that’s a false choice; there are well-meaning people on both sides of the aisle, and each side has its share of idiots as well (Rev. Falwell, meet Rev. Sharpton).
“…each side has its share of idiots as well (Rev. Falwell, meet Rev. Sharpton).” AMEN, BROTHER!!
“…large intersection of the roads of sodomy and Ireland…” O so it’s Roads izzit; heh heh, ya don’t give up easy do ya kid…[Tourist - “Pardon me, is this the right road to Killarney?” Paddy - “Begob an’ it *is*, sor!” “Great! Thanks!” (vrooom, and he’s off…) Paddy, to Mike - “But, he’s goin’ th’ *wrong way* on it…”][Hi Sean :]
yeahwell if there’s an Intersection it’s merely because as certain sharpeyed observers have previously noted, BLL’s posts lately do seem to be somewhat sodom-dominated (& neveryoumind about Mistress Dominique’s Training Camp, that’s just an al qaeda front); and my remarks are always emerald-tinged, so there you have it. What’s that you say?? Why of course they have lots of Sheep in Ireland. I’ve seen them myself. They’re usually found up on the slippery slopes…Butt I’m sure Brendan’s recent fixation will soon be at an End. If not, I’ll tell him where he can Put it. BRRRAAAK! BEEEEP! SQUAWWWK!!

Yeah. She got her Master’s in Social Work and took a job with Health Care for All.
Of course, if the government’s going to steal my money, I’d prefer they use it to help people, rather than make stupid laws about every little thing and pretend they’re libertarian.

Joe, you seem to bring up Sean’s name a lot when the topic is sodomy. Is there something you’re not telling us?
