This week, Nova’s the mayor and we’re talking about Robert Briscoe, the Forrest Gump of 20th century Ireland and most easily radicalized man in the history of the world.
Municipal meeting minutes include: Getting handed a shamrock from a Cossack, Irish Serious Man, scamming Mr. Woolworth, Costume Party Theme: Today's Newspaper, staring at a cop's belt, solidarity (derogatory), and Don't Read the Last 20% of This Book.
