Six Characters in Search of a Blogger

OK, folks.  So my post for today will most likely come…very late tomorrow.  Because I have this paper due within the next 24 hours on the rise of print culture in Ireland, and it’s long, and I am trying to sprint to the finish so I can at least enjoy some of the inauguration festivities on television.

So blame Ireland.  If it didn’t have such a complicated history, I would be done with the paper by now.  And you would have been enjoying the brilliance of my post while sipping a very nice Pinot Noir,  nibbling a homemade chocolate chip cookie from your Obama Inaugural Commemorative plate, and savoring this brief shining moment of national optimism before we get flushed down the economic toilet.
