50 ON FRIDAY LUNCHEON
for fun and games with friends from Chicago's business community Friday, March 12, 2010
Speakers: The Cousins from County Sligo
Discussion subject:
"Tweets, Pokes and Perfidy" Peggy O'Hearn, first assistant to Sligo County Commissioner Kevin Sweeney, has written to us as the date of 50 on Friday approaches: "Ah, 'tis another sad day for Ireland with the British after their usual fashion of sacrificing holy Ireland on the fire of their selfish ambition. Here 'tis in a tweet from the very BBC: British government sources saying three of the 11 assassins of Hamas official Mahmoud Al Mabhouh in Dubai held Irish passports. How clear the perfidy! Was the man knee-capped, I ask you? But the pot is stirred now, 'tis, till it's become the unceasing blather of the idlers posting one foolish thing after another on our Facebook page. Log on for a bit of the news of the Irish bobsleighers or the chat with Cousin Mary O'Dooley in Sydney and here come the lot of them with their tweets and pokes and slanders about the imposters sporting Irish brogues like so many English lords after the feigning of human warmth. Enough of this! The Sligo cousins thank you for the invitation to join you for the celebration of the grand day, and regret that Bishop Timothy O'Farrell will be absent from our company while he meets in Rome with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI for the blessing of the cabbage and a discourse on the proper sexual conduct of our Irish clergy, including the Jesuits." An online reservation is required prior to the date of the event. The cost of the luncheon includes a contribution to a charity selected by the speakers.
