The Irish crisis

Today is a bad, bad day... Bear with me.

How to deal with the Irish crisis:

1 - Get an international "good-doer" or a big-name celebrity to help you out. Better still, call Bono and the U2. Here

2 - Run to the end of a rainbow. Make sure the leprechauns give you gold instead of euros or dollars. Here

3 - Grow four-leaf clovers. Tell the banks that, from now on, all your expenses and debts will be paid in 4-leaf clovers. Actually, bankers should consider themselves lucky that you are still willing to give them something, after you and your fellow Europeans have bail them out so many times.

4 - Beat everybody else in the race for the piggy-bank. Here

And I see you picked number 4! I bet all the other little piggies are green with envy. But you're Irish, so you look prettier and greener than everybody else. Congrats!
