I'm from Cork City in Ireland, but I love watching the tragicomedy of American politics. I've really enjoyed watching The Young Turks since I first discovered it a couple of months ago. I keep finding myself shouting "Of COOURRRRRSSSSEEEE" like Cenk! Very cool catchphrase Cenk! I'm inspired by people like Bono, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr, and Martin Sheen.
I love music more than anything, especially U2 and some other Irish musicians you may or may not know such as Damien Rice, The Frames, Bell X1, Snow Patrol, Gemma Hayes, Lisa Hannigan, Mark Geary and Emmett Tinley.
I recently graduated with an MA in International Relations and I'm doing some work for a couple of NGOs that work mostly in Africa. I haven't been to America yet, but I would love to visit and help out with a presidential campaign for a little while. I'd like to see Al Gore run for President, and Barack Obama as well.
