The Nation Goes To Ireland

As I was just reminded via email by my buddy Alex Zaitchik, there are a lot of Irish people in Boston. Sure - these days most of them are more yuppie than rogue - but they're Irish nonetheless. On that note: folks might appreciate the piece that Alex just did for The Nation about a town of Irish farmers who went head-to-head with Shell and other oil interests that want to run a pipeline through their county. There's already tons of solid Irish pride around here, but can't we always use a little more?
