Very busy these last few days, despite not even having a vote. Meanwhile, all you Irish-Americans out there should read Mark Kleiman’s passing mention of NORAID. NORAID’s website mentions its charitable efforts helping “ex-POWs and their families with personal, family and career counseling, job training and support in fighting the social and economic discrimination they face because of their status as veterans.” Veterans, that is, of political acts like this one, or this one, or perhaps this one (though those would be the “Real” vets).
