I am Soccer Tease. My task is to expose lies and false pretenses to wisdom.
Sir or Madame, Ireland once had something to offer the world. Now it turns
its parted cheeks to the horrors of the West's recent past. My Irish
ancestors must be turning over in their graves if Irish colleges are
defending the bloody legacy of Mr. Marx. You are too late. History has
bypassed you and is weary to even recall the sound of your name. Discover
Ireland again and leave the bloody bones in their crypts.
