US President-elect Barack Obama's roots have possibly been traced to 18th century Ireland and a village called Moneygall in County Offaly.

And those crazy Paddy's even wrote a song about him. 'There's no one as Irish as Barack Obama'

Oh lawd.

Tabloids.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Because none of the other presidents have had Irish roots, ever

Then again, if Kenya can celebrate, why not Ireland

Mackem = from Sunderland (typically supports Sunderland AFC)

Geordie = from Newcastle (typically supports Newcastle FC)

The accents are slightly different but I'd only expect a native to be able to tell the difference.

I live smack bang in the middle, support Sunderland but have a Geordie accent. So I'm some kinda half breed mongrel.
