There are moments in Irish history that are monumental, powerful, and evocative. There are also the moments I remember from Leaving Cert history that I find hilarious for no real reason, for example Roger Casement rushing back to Ireland in a German submarine.
It’s International Woman’s Day so I drew Countess Markievicz looking like Han Solo.

Who knew we’d see the day Luke Cage gets beaten up in the middle of the Burren.
A lot of jokes have been made about Michael Wee Higgins’ height since he won the Labour Party nomination. I for one am glad that a man of his political stature is running for President because as the field stands at the moment he’s head and shoulders about the competition.

Oh and we should have (and I’m quoting) “lynched” him for being pro-choice as we are all militantly Catholic."
Oh Americans.
