   Put the ice in your Manischewitz, Mr. Mayor. Not in your brew.

   He’s not concerned for our health — he’s hoarding it all for himself!

   No! He IS concerned for our health, from first hand experience as to the dangers of overconsumption of it.

   Obviously he’s overdosed on the stuff and its swollen his brain, thus incapacitating his ability for rational thought and speech.

   Me, too. And something that anyone proud of their Irish heritage would be a little worried about admitting, I don’t drink that much! But when I do, I certainly don’t put ice in my beer. If it gets too warm, sell it to the British.

   Well for the health of New Yorkers, I suggest that Bloomberg closes down all taverns and pizza joints.

   Any thing to get rid of that bitter taste.

    I am of Irish ancestry. In the original statement Bloomberg made, I was a bit shocked that he spoke of the Irish that way.

    But what was lost in the conversation, was how Bloomberg made it worse by saying the Irish are inebriated or at least “that’s what we Jews think.”

    Can you imagine the uproar if an Irish person had made that comment about the Jews?

    I have suffered me-self from the triple curse:

    Drunk, Irish, and a Sailor.

    More than once, in less politically correct times, I’ve been poured down the hatch AFTER pouring too many down the hatch.

    My father told me once that only a fookin’ Protestant would put ice in his beer.

    John Dunleavy, the chairman of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, said the mayor’s words were “outrageous and totally uncalled for.”

    …and something only we Eireanns can only say about ourselves.

    Allow me to ask a silly question; I -believe- the argument against putting ice in beer (since early 20th cent) is because water would dilute the essence and kill the carbonation, right? Has there ever been an attempt to offer cubed frozen beer in place of water ice?

    Meh no surprise we have a Socialist Leadership, ask the fine people of the former USSR how they lived then ask a member of the Government.

    Obama says to conserve energy and not to eat expensively.

    We have people suffering horrible weather and several dead from freezing to death during the various outages, he is basking with it up to 80. We eat at BK on the dollar menu, he eats 100 buck stakes.

    Gore Says not to waste energy and calls us out for wasteful traveling, then flies to any meeting he has no matter the cost. The Goverment says not to lie, cheat, steal, fight, or commit various crimes. Numerous people on the Hill have raped and commited what would ammount to 2nd degree murder in a court of law (looking at you Ted K.) they still every bit of money they can and spend it on friends for the money back rubs, they steal American Land for “Eminent Domain” they use various tactics to bully and cow the people, from the purple shirts and media, to lawenforcement. And well the Law says its A-ok so long as a government stamp is on it.

    So a guy who wants us to have little salt and uses alot of it himself, thats no surprise. We even wear poorer and worse clothes than them and while a Soldier may have to jump through hoops for any medical care, even a Jr Party Member gets the best.

    Do you know what an Irish homosexual is?

    Someone who likes the opposite sex more than whiskey.

    Church elders are afraid that it will lead to dancing.

    “Rule No. 1: Don’t do what you’re doing.

    “Never,” she declared, “if you want to respect the efforts the brewers put into the beer.””

    Personally, respecting the efforts of producers is not my goal when consuming a product I’ve purchased. It’s a bit galling for someone to sell you a product and then get bothered by the way you consume it.

    I don’t like Bloomberg, but certainly not because of his stance on icy beer.

    You mean beer and liquor haven’t been outlawed in BloombergVille yet? There’s a major oversight! Maybe he’s saving the ban for St. Patty’s Day. You know. To drop on the crowd with the rest of his Irish bombs.
