Yeah, Greeley is somewhat of a soft porn aficionado. But "How the Irish Saved Civilization" actually exists >>> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385418493/sr=8-1/qid=1146944097/ref=sr_1_1/002-0338003-2363215?%5Fencoding=UTF8
They never quite get to the part about how they hid behind their English "oppressors" in World War II.
I know it exists and that's why your comment was so funny!
Simply the title of the book makes me lol!
The Irish are fantastic when it comes to claiming "moral superiority" over everyone else, telling them what to do, and they rival France in the bravery department.
As far as "saving civilization", they think nothing about letting the rest of it get destroyed just as long as they get their shot at the Brits. Again, that goes back to WWII.
I could go on and on and on...
