I’m mature enough to get past all the things people say about Celts. We are dour, and not particularly forgiving, but we prefer to hold our grudges close to the vest. I don’t play the race card every time someone dyes their beer green and puts on a fake accent. Better to let fools suffer.

Still, there are some lines they shouldn’t cross. Like longitude. Sarah Palin’s people are dissing my coast, namely the East, and I don’t like it.

My America is just as real as her’s, and has been part of the USA since there was a USA. Which is more than you can say for Alaska, no offense meant to Seward’s Folly.

Alaska is very far West, it’s true, but also very far North. This must be a conflict with the real Americans in the South, unless they can accept diversity.

Let’s just agree to all get along. Everyone is exactly as real as everyone else.
