Butte: Ambassador to the World

How many presdants came to your town this week? I thought so. Mary McAleese, the president of Ireland, came for a visit. Apearantly its not uncommon for the president of Ireland to come. Then again I belive I have more fingers than they have past presidents. We went to hear her speak at the MAC.

I dont know much about her politics so as far as I know she is one of those raving euro-socialist types complete with mouth-foam. Regardless she has two good things going for her. 1.) Ireland is becoming a rags to riches story and is probably one of the most succesful members of the European Union; and McAleese has been around long enough to take some of the credit. 2.) She not only came to Butte but thanked the community for all the countless mining dollars that they have sent over the decades back to Ireland. So huzzah for McAleese!

In the photo above I have highlighted the back of McClease's head, Robert and Sabrina. They were so close they could have bit her, or shook her hand. Either way. Specail bonus points for those who noticed that the image overlay was the Irish Flag.
