St. Patrick's Day News and Coffee Roundup

I'm not Irish but my boyfriend is.... and although this year's St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York will not permit diversity in their march, it's an old truth that the Irish themselves have long been much more accepting, and Ireland has some of the most liberal laws in the world.

First, for today some Irish stuff:

• Wish DPHH was like this.


• Learn about the politics of the Irish Deaf Society.


• Here's a link to Kerry Deaf Resource Centre which I thought was appropriate since MacFarlane's in town!


• Learn Irish Sign Language!
And here's some Wikipedia information.

• Finally, apparently Irish Deaf people don't use blackberries. What do they use instead?

Second, some blog links. Tara McAvoy has become a big thing in the blogosphere, with everyone pushing an agenda. Adam seems to think the important thing is to point out that hearing people also get hit by trains. Allison wants to avoid turning the poor girl into the Deaf version of Terri Schiavo. Mike as usual attacks other Deaf people. Ridor still hasn't corrected his wrong spelling of her name.

Gotta love the deaf world, same as the hearing world....
