A co-worker orders me an Old Bushmills whiskey. When the bartender begins to pour a Jameson instead, my co-worker balks. "No, that's Catholic whiskey, Pat! We want the orange, the Protestant."
Behind us, on the television, a Rudy Giuliani campaign commercial features footage of gun-toting insurgents, explosions, and Iranian president Ahmadinejad. The voiceover: "Hate without boundaries. A people perverted. A religion betrayed."
