No One Expects the Irish

Hattip to Ann Althouse.  When I was at the University of Illinois I had a friend who was a grad student in physics.  He was part Black, part Sioux, part Irish, part Mexican, part Greek and part Italian.  He was also a conservative Republican and an Evangelical.  He used to take sly amusement in giving affirmative action officers fits when he put down “smorgasbord” as his ethnicity.  One asked him on what continent the country of Smorgasbord was located.

I count eight or ten black Irish Gurads troops.

Love the music!
