Yesterday I confronted one of my favorite neocons 
with this bit.  They didn't get it.  I had to 
explain that Hawking was in fact British.  They still didn't get it

I saw this article yesterday and absolutely loved it - the subtle yet 
dripping sarcasm is priceless

(though it does, as someone noted, place all of Ireland in the UK)
