Ed Morrissey has been showing his commitment to his Irish roots by learning to speak Gaelic.
That’s committed!
But is Ed as committed as Will Ferrell, who declared during his monologue accepting the James Joyce award…:
“I’m so committed to my Irish roots that I intend to continue wearing this outfit [a green rugby jersey] upon my return to the United States,” Ferrell told his audience. “I will also continue to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Will it be dangerous? Yes. Is it illegal? Highly. But that’s just how committed I am.”
That’s commitment.

I’ve had the recurring thought for some time to learn Gaelic, or at least become more familiar with with it. You know, in case I ever move to Scotland or something like that. Where/how is Ed getting his lessons? Slainte mhath!
Ferrell sounds like Donald Rumsfeld, rhetorical questions which he then answers. Most of the questions (and answers) are idiotic, but in Ferrell’s case at least, it’s satire and funny!
I only have a little bit of Irish roots, my family being Scotting, the Irish kicked us out 1000 years ago, but you have to admire anyone committed enough to continue wearing that far too close-fitting jersey and the hat that goes along with it.
Just remember Peev… the Irish gave the Scots bagpips.
But the Scots didn’t get the joke.
“”Commitment””
I saw the headline and expected a Brittany Spears post. I was close *laughing*
