The Wandering Borough and the Curragh Voyage
An Irish narrative from Anns Islands in Euann recounts the wandering borough as a symbol of poverty and sorrow. A dawn crossing from Cleghmore to Arran Islands in a curragh reveals Gaelic lifeways, legends, and the stubborn humor of Conn Leahy as the island names High Brazzle and Tir na nOg emerge amid sea light and awe.

The Decadent Inaugural Ball in Paris and Virginia Echoes
Breen laments the decadence of republican simplicity at the presidential inauguration ball. He draws a parallel to Rome's decline, notes the luxurious Pension building scene, and contrasts it with the era of Old Oaken Bucket virtue. He recalls Senator Barbour and Senator Daniels, and critiques parliamentary talk versus concise leadership.
