Easter 1916 Rising

Easter 1916 Rising
Since the anniversary of 1916 was only a few days away, I thought we might commemorate our favorite leaders of the rising.

Any takers?

I had never heard of the Easter Rising until just now. So, I don't really have a favorite leader.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Pearse. I'd add more, but the Rising is causing trouble in my Fenian arse. Off to the jacks...

I've heard of it, and I think we studied it in history when I was in school, but I can't remember the names of the leaders.

That's about Ireland and the Irish uprising, isn't it? I doubt you will find many takers apart from Irish members.

Scumbags not worth remembering anyway.

Yeah, buncha scumbags who had the audacity to take up arms against an illegal force of occupation that tried to starve them out of existence.

Can't argue with nationalists. As far as reason goes nationalists have a big fat error 404 sign attached. And I may add that I find it curious who's assuming nationalist and rightwinger positions, given their personal situation, strictly going by post record.

Thanks to my siss's genealogy work, I've only recently started appreciating my Irishnessism.

LOL, it sure explains a lot, don't it ?
