Hal Roach - The Best Of Irish Humour

Irish Comedian Hal Roach

Hal Roach (November 4, 1927 in Waterford – February 28 2012) was a prominent Irish comedian. He spent over 60 years in show business, and was featured in the Guinness Book of Records for the longest-running engagement of a comedian at the same venue: 26 years at Jury’s Irish Cabaret, Jury’s Ballsbridge Hotel, Dublin.

Irish Comedian Hal Roach Career

Born John Roach, he began his career after winning a local talent competition as a boy soprano. He initially toured with an illusionist and specialised in magic, but later moved to comedy.

A typical Hal Roach joke is as follows: “He told me that I have a cult following, at least I think that’s what he said”.

Another- “There is a man sitting in the middle of the road casting his fishing line… now none of us is perfect, but c’mon! So I asked him, “How many have you caught today?” He said, “You’re the ninth.”

Perhaps his most famous catchphrase is “Write it down, it’s a good one!”.

Irish Comedian Hal Roach Influence

Roach has been cited as a major influence by other comedians such as Brendan Grace.

Roach is popular particularly with American tourists visiting Ireland. His act played heavily on traditional tourist imagery of Ireland and on Irish jokes. Several of his shows have been released on cassette and CD, and they are popular with tour bus drivers in several English-speaking countries who play them to passengers to help pass the time between destinations.

After suffering from a long bout of ill health, Roach passed away on February 28 2012. Upon hearing the news, fellow comedian and good friend Brendan Grace stated: “Roach was a prime influence throughout my career and has inspired me and many others to walk in the shadow of his greatness.”

FLASHBACK: Obama Sent Ambassador To Tehran During 2008 Campaign

Obama Sent Ambassador To Tehran During 2008 Campaign
This explains quite a lot. Especially Obama’s attitude towards Israel and why he didn’t support Iran´s freedom movement.

Iranian expert Dr. Michael Ledeen was on with Mark Levin Wednesday night to discuss Obama’s history with Iran. Ledeen told Levin that Obama sent former Ambassador William G. Miller to Tehran in 2008 to assure the regime that Obama was their friend.

Iranian expert Dr. Michael Ledeen was on with Mark Levin tonight to discuss Obama’s history with Tehran. Ledeen told Levin that Obama sent former Ambassador William G. Miller to Tehran in 2008 to assure the mullahs he was a friend of the regime.

Michael Ledeen wrote about Obama’s secret meetings with Tehran on August 29, 2014.

During his first presidential campaign in 2008, Mr. Obama used a secret back channel to Tehran to assure the mullahs that he was a friend of the Islamic Republic, and that they would be very happy with his policies. The secret channel was Ambassador William G. Miller, who served in Iran during the shah’s rule, as chief of staff for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and as ambassador to Ukraine. Ambassador Miller has confirmed to me his conversations with Iranian leaders during the 2008 campaign.

Just when you think you’ve heard everything, some Liberal proves you wrong! 1,000 feet high walls in the mid west of the US? At least move them to the southern border!

Forget the Great Wall of China. How about the Great Wall of … Kansas?

One scientist thinks we can protect parts of the central USA from ferocious tornadoes by building several gigantic walls across Tornado Alley:

“If we build three east-west great walls in the American Midwest …. one in North Dakota, one along the border between Kansas and Oklahoma to the east, and the third one in south Texas and Louisiana, we will diminish the tornado threats in the Tornado Alley forever,” according to physicist Rongjia Tao of Temple University.

The walls would need to be about 1,000 feet high and 150 feet wide, he said.

From Brian Thomas at WAEB radio:

ROTFLMAO. When the enviro-leftists start talking about spending money building infrastructure in anticipation of the effects of global warming, think of this story. Please don’t overlook the opportunity for advertising revenue with billboards adorning the sides of the walls. Laugh away, but don’t you just love the (bird-slaughtering)amber waves of windmills criss-crossing the fruited plains of America? Freaking oil wells in the frozen tundra of Alaska piss me off.

Muslim Brotherhood Inside White House

Muslim Brotherhood

Retired US Air Force General Tom McInerney said, in a radio interview, something we all know “There are Muslim Brotherhood in the White House”.

Egypt claims that Obama’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. His intentional policy failures and abuses of the Constitution make it hard to doubt that.

A Washington political insider, retired US Air Force General Tom McInerney has confirmed that the Muslim Brotherhood has a major presence in the White House inner circle.

In an interview with a Washington radio station, the for assistant vice chief of staff and commander in chief of U.S. Forces Europe has identified as least two Muslim Brotherhood players with direct Oval Office access.
