May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

The Racist Prof, The Cop and Niall of the Nine Hostages

Henry Louis Gates Jr., the racist black professor that got in the face yelling racist epithets at the cop Sgt. James Crowley while he was trying to investigate a reported break in, have something in common it turns out. Gates was on a PBS program about African American ancestry, and through DNA found out he's the descendant of an Irish immigrant and a slave girl.

The DNA markers showed he was a descendant of Niall of the Nine Hostages, a ninth century warlord. Sgt Crowley is also descended from Niall. Obama has Irish ancestry too.

They are all meeting for a beer at the White House. Three Irishmen, and beer.

Fascinating.
