ABC's anchor, styling himself as Colin O'Gibson, observed that "much that is mulled and fermented is consumed on this day." When the President styled himself Barack O'Bama, O'Gibson called that "a bit of a stretch." A multicultural theme extended to CBS' closer too, where Kelly Wallace introduced us to the African-American-Indian-Latino Keltic Dreams stepdance troupe at PS 59 in The Bronx. NBC sent Dawna Friesen to Dublin where a decade of Celtic Tiger growth has gone bust "with startling speed." She stood on a derelict dockside to show us a "massive high-rise, the tallest building in Ireland, with $1m apartments and a penthouse recording studio for the band U2. You can see. Nothing has happened."
"It is not a recession," a Dubliner told Friesen. "It is a pre-boom."
