'And I think to myself...'

ARTICLE: Ireland Learns to Adapt to a Population Spurt, By EAMON QUINN, New York Times, August 19, 2007

Neat story on how Ireland copes with its globalization success.

You know, for a place that long joked--and ruefully so--that its people were the "niggers of Europe," it's truly stunning to see it become so attractive to outsiders that you can have a pic of a Nigerian priest baptizing one of the little people in Dublin.

As Louis Armstrong once sang, "what a wonderful world."

Thanks to Shiva Polefka for sending this.

As an Irish American myself, i find stories about the old country interesting. My favorite stat however, is one that shows there are more people of Irish decent living in NYC, than live in Ireland itself.

Pretty Amazing
