    RTE last night broadcast "The Road to Moneygall" The Road to Moneygall is a heart-warming, fascinating, disarming chronicle of three years in the life of the inhabitants of Moneygall village, county Offaly - which come to wholly unexpected fame in 2008 as the birthplace of Fulmouth Kearney - five-times great grandfather of the leader of the free world: US President, Barack Obama.

    Filmed, with great empathy and full-access over the course of three years, this is the story of how the most famous man of the 21st century came to the village that time forgot.

    until 9th August 2011
    Worth watching

Rolling Stone Magazine Endorses Joe Biden

The editorial states that Biden "evinces competence, compassion, steadiness, integrity and restraint. Perhaps even more important in this moment, Biden holds a profound respect for the institutions of American democracy, as well as a deep respect for how our government - and our system of checks and balances - is meant to work; he aspires to lead the nation as its president, not its dictator."
