Celtic Tiger – Funny & Honest Bit from an Irish

[CDMA ENG]

[quote=teaboy][quote=temeculaguy]That was funny, I love the ending when the guy gets mad because the reporter says Michael Flatley is from Chicago. It forced me to look it up, it’s true, born, raised and learn to dance in…Chicago. Reminds me of how mad every Italian relative of mine gets when I bring up the fact that Christopher Columbus wasn’t Italian, he didn’t even know the language.[/quote]

I doubt the Irish guy gave a feckin’ feck about Michael Flubberly. More likely his obscenity was towards the interviewer’s non-sequitor response to his articulate answer to the original question. I’d be pissed off, too.

Perfectly stated. From his passion you can tell that he was raised a working class fellow who still felt rooted to the Blue Collar world but worked in the white one…

“Moody’s cut Ireland’s sovereign rating by two notches to the verge of junk status on Friday and kept its outlook on negative, pushing the euro lower and adding to renewed pressure on the euro zone’s weaker countries. The move sent Ireland’s borrowing costs up and cut short a rare spell of good news after the government said on Thursday it had passed a review of its economic progress by creditors and ratings agency Fitch upgraded its outlook.”

Good question. It can go either way, at least for a short while, IMHO. Either our debt goes to junk status, or the USD becomes a safe-haven while the Euro crashes. I just don’t know of another currency that can carry the burden if the Euro fails. Yen, or renminbi? Unfortunately, most people can’t get significant quantities of the renminbi, and not sure how the yen will fare as Japan deals with its crisis.

Wish I knew the answer, as we’d be on our way to retirement! 😉

I wouldn’t mind a dip in the Euro relative to the dollar sometime between now and summer. It can revert when I get back from our vacation.
