Alleging that snark can be benevolent. Feelin Kinda Three Fifths. March 17, 2010. Well, here it is buddy, this is where the government keeps tabs on us. It’s our constitutional obligation as a people to be enumerated every ten years. It’s all Article 1 an’ sh…. Oops, that’s right, talking to a kid). Hubs (reading over the document):. You mean we can’t do this online? The Founding Fathers certainly didn’t INTEND to have us use some magical adding machine likely posessed by evil spirits. Are We There Yet?

Germantown Irish: Assimilation Nation: Becoming Irish-Americans
http://germantownirish.blogspot.com/2009/07/just-my-luck.html
Philly Tales from the Great Diaspora. Sunday, July 12, 2009. Assimilation Nation: Becoming Irish-Americans. Philadelphia Nativist Riot, 1844. In the century after 1820, 5 million Irish immigrants came to the United States. Their presence provoked a strong reaction among certain native-born Americans, known as nativists. For the U.S. Department of State. I want to find out if some went home to work the family farms during the Great Depression instead of heading west to California. As so many Americans did.

Germantown Irish: Emmigration: From Tipperary to Philadelphia
http://germantownirish.blogspot.com/2009/07/off-to-philadelphia-in-morning.html
Philly Tales from the Great Diaspora. Saturday, July 18, 2009. Emmigration: From Tipperary to Philadelphia. It's not an action-packed video, but the song "Off to Philadelphia" is interesting. It's the tale of an Irish lothario who has broken the hearts of too many girls in Tipperary. I like the video - the setting looks right for the Depression. I imagine this record being played on old Victrolas. It's also easy to imagine Paddy disembarking at Ellis Island. Where did Paddy disembark in Philadelphia?

Germantown Irish: Grace Kelly was from Germantown
http://germantownirish.blogspot.com/2009/07/grace-kelly-was-germantown-girl.html
Philly Tales from the Great Diaspora. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Grace Kelly was from Germantown. Great public forum on Historic Germantown. Where ex-pats have posted whimsical messages. About the G-town they loved and lost. There are English, Italian and German surnames, but not many Irish. One from 2003 echoes my father's experience. The writer's last name is Murray - which could be Irish, Scottish or English - but I think he's Irish. He attended the same Catholic school as my father. The next neighborh...

http://germantownirish.blogspot.com/2009/07/frank-mccourt-and-how-he-got-that-way.html
Philly Tales from the Great Diaspora. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Frank McCourt, and How He Got That Way. Irish-American writer Frank McCourt, by all accounts an inspired New York teacher. Lovely man and gifted writer, died July 19. At the age of 78. He had recently been diagnosed with melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. He then contracted meningitis. Which was released in 2000, and starred Emily Watson and Robert Carlyle. I noticed that it is now available on On Demand. About his experiences in...
