Save Ireland, drink Guinness

As a grandson of the Old Sod, I didn't read Krugman's column today with any pleasure.

I feel for my Irish cousins, whose distress is even greater than ours -- although we may be following the same path, if Krugman's right.

(For a jarring bit of commonality, recall what Dell's done recently to Ireland. At least they gave real numbers.)

Sadly, there's not much I can do to help. But I'm willing to render a drop or two of assistance whenever possible.

Or three or four.

But there is a limit. After all, there's Scotland to think about, too.

I'm certainly doing my part with the Guinness, though I wish it was cheaper.
Total Wine & More recently raised the price of the 4 pack to $7.99. Inexplicably, the 8 pack is even more expensive per can.
If anyone knows where Guinness (or even Murphy's or Beamish) is cheaper please do tell.
Costco sells an 18 pack for about $20 but only in December.

Of course, you do realize that the English now own Guinness and Bushmills and Jameson...
Blasphemy.

At least the Irish are still making the stuff.
