Irish Fighting Sticks

A Long Lasting Peace for Northern Ireland

Today is certainly a historic day for Northern Ireland as Unionists and Loyalists come together to form a single, local government. Will it work? Everyone is excited and optimistic. I hate to be a stick in the mud, but I don’t think this is going to last. It’s just a matter of time before the Protestants and Catholics start bickering again. That is why I once again reiterate by long held belief that in order for their to be a long lasting peace in Northern Ireland, the region must be ruled by a Jew. And I have just the Jew–my third cousin several continents removed, the very Irish Rosie McGoldberg. I am honored to have Rosie here with me today in our studios.

Murray Trillionaire (MT): Rosie, welcome to our studios.

Rosie McGoldberg (RM): Cheerio, top of the morning to you mate. Hello gorgeous!

MT: Would a McGoldberg government strive to create a united Ireland or keep Northern Ireland as part of The United Kingdom?

RM: Neither, darling. They’re both just too damn cold. I’m going to fight to unite Northern Ireland with Puerto Rico. Murray, you American Jews have Florida. But where the hell are us Irish Jews supposed to go in the middle of winter? I’m tired of freezing me arse off. And besides, I just love that Ricky Martin.

MT: What do you see as the biggest problem facing Northern Ireland today?

RM: Our pickles. You get fish and chips; it comes with dill pickles. You get Shepherd’s Pie, there’s a side of Cole Slaw and dill pickles. It is literally impossible to get a good sour garlic pickle like they have at your Katz Deli. It’s not right!

MT: What can a Jew do for Northern Ireland that nobody else can?

RM: All the arguing. I’ve got thousands of years of experience in arguing. I even argue with myself. For example, this morning I started arguing with myself that this red blouse I’m wearing makes me look fat. Murray do you think it makes me look fat.

MT: Fat, no. It makes you look a little pale. I was hoping you would be wearing green. So Rosie, would you govern in Irish or in English. I hear that you can sing all of Air Supply’s greatest hits in both.

RM: If I were to sing to you, “I’m all out of love, I’m so lost with out you…” in Irish right now, I swear I’d give you spilkes. It’s breath-taking. But when I govern Northern Ireland, pumpkin, I will be speaking in neither English nor Irish. Rosie isn’t taking sides. I’ll be talking in sign language. I just recently found out however, that there is an English sign language and a different Irish sign language. So I’ll be speaking in Esperanto sign language. Besides, I always say to me fellow Irish, “Fight with your words, not with your hands. If we’re all talking with our hands, we can do both at the same time.

MT: Why do you think a Jew is going to be able to rule Northern Ireland if neither a Catholic nor a Protestant can?

RM: Who you kidding, sweetheart! I probably can’t either. But I’m sure I can unite all the Irish to hate me. After me, they’ll take anyone. And maybe while I’m governing Ireland, Ian Paisley and Martin McGuiness can go run the Middle East.

Fighting Irish $21.86 For hundreds of years, Irish soldiers have sought their destiny abroad. Stepping aboard ships bound for England, America, or Europe, young Irishmen have been hungry for adventure, a self-made fortune or the means to carry on a cause back home. Wherever he has travelled, whichever side of the battlefield he has stood, the tales of his exploits have never been forgotten. The Irish soldier has always been in the thick of the fight. Leaving his birthplace, he travelled with hope, sometimes wanting to bring a liberating revolution to his fellow countrymen. Often seeking adventure, the Fighting Irish have been found in all corners of the British Empire, winning new territories, gaining a reputation as fearless soldiers. Some sailed to America and joined in frontier fighting or demonstrated their loyalty to their new homeland in the bloody combats of the American Civil War. Others took the opportunity to carry on their home-borne disputes with campaigns against the British Empire in Canada and South Africa. The Irish soldier has been in the thick of war during the twentieth century-facing slaughter at the Somme, surviving prison camps in Korea, desperate last-stands in the Congo-and continuing sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Fighting Irish, acclaimed historian Tim Newark tells their tales in the dramatic words of the soldiers themselves, gathered from diaries, letters and journals from archives-and interviews with veterans-in Ireland and across the world. Praise for Highlander : "Tim Newark is a remarkably gifted storyteller." The Scotsman "At last, the Highland soldier has the history he richly deserves. Tim Newark tells the dramatic tale with some startling new stories and superbly researched detail." Andrew Roberts. "Highlanders have long been among the most feared soldiers in the world and Tim Newark's book admirably tells their stirring tale.  A great read!" Bernard Cornwell.
