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.
