Morag. Apparently it's Scots (or possibly also Irish) Gaelic, and means something like big or tall. I didn't know it either and had to look it up.

It is kind of a red flag, though. What's up with parents who'll give a kid a name like that?

The red flag that hit me was Irish. Seems Ireland pops up a lot.

MCGREEVEY'S IRELAND TAB: $105,000

"In Newry, there was a fellow who wanted to make contact with a pharmaceutical company, so I took his card," he said during the trip. "Same thing in Belfast. I had lunch with a fellow who is involved with various start-ups. So I picked up his card and I'll pass it to our people. I don't know if anything will materialize from it, but you never know."

You never do know what will come up do you, you sly dog.

McGreevy was an Irish American before he was a CORRUPT American. And it can't hurt in Jersey to pander for the Irish catholic vote by visiting Ireland.

Of course, you have to try not to run up a $105,000 tab while you're there for that strategy to work...
