Happy Birthday, Frank McCourt!
Dear Mr. McCourt,
Happy 73rd Birthday!
Mr. McCourt, have you ever even been to an early 20th-century Irish ghetto? I doubt it. For one thing, your books make no mention of leprechauns, and everybody knows real Irish ghettos are overrun with the damn imps. They’re in plague proportions. I suggest you do some real research before you write your next Pulitzer Prize-winning book. You don’t even have to go anywhere; just look it up on the Internet, stupid.
Happy Birthday!
Best,
Josh Abraham
