I've seen Irishmen bowing to the east, but it was after the pubs closed and they didn't look like they were venerating anything other than a big white phone...

Speaking of Cromwell, it sickens me that HBO and the UK's Channell 4 are doing a miniseries about the Civil War that shows Cromwell (played by Ulster's own Kenneth Branagh) as a closet loyalist and Gainsborough as a womanizing cad. From what I understand, it will "sex up" the Puritans and make the Royalists the bad guys.

It made me feel good when I was in Sevilla and I went to the top of La Giralda, as it was the old prayer tower for the Mosque, but is now part of the Cathedral.

HBO could make any CONSERVATIVE look bad... HBO did a show on Mr. President (Ronald Reagan) and they made him look senile. HBO is owned by Time, who likes to LIE about CONSERVATIVES.
