    Just In Time For St Patrick's Day

    I have to give props to Fox News for bringing this to my attention, but I have the idea that a lot of people here don't like them so I've found a more neutral link to this story about the new National Leprechaun Museum in Dublin, Eire, which just opened today.

    I think this brings a proper amount of modern-style attention to the Good People, the leprechauns among us who are forced to live in a giant world that was never made for them .

    A splendid idea! I seem to spend a lot of time 'away with the faeries' (= daydreaming) myself, so in theory I ought to know a bit about the subject. Somehow, I can never remember meeting them, though!

    I watch Fox TV quite a bit. The only thing wrong with them is that they have a glaring right wing bias, but once you know that you can filter what they say, i.e. take it with a pinch of salt. I wouldn't hold it against anyone to post a link to Fox, although if it were a political story I wouldn't give it much credence, but that hardly applies to the little people.

    A good point indeed. The Fox folks themselves, and their fans, would tell you that with the exception of some carefully labelled personalities they are not all that biased towards the right, just not as far out on the left as the rest of the media. However you see them, it's great to have two points of view available.

    And the Irish Good Folk and faeries did need a little promotion too, hopefully the museum takes them out of the realm of cereal boxes and back to their origins.
