It's sad news that author Daniel Cassidy, founder and co-director of the Irish Studies Program at the New College of California, passed away on October 11 at the age of 65. He didn't get enough time to enjoy all the accolades that poured in for his American Book Award-winning How The Irish Invented Slang: The Secret Language of the Crossroads.
In tomorrow's The New York Times Dan Barry has a very funny feature on Irish stereotypes in the upcoming movie Pride and Glory. It's a fantastic piece, and I'm not just saying that because I went to St. Bona's with him and because he married the lovely Mary Trinity and because he has a daughter named Nora too. If you don't agree with me, just leave it alone. Ok?! Just leave it.
