The Dark Brat
Of course, it is well known that before my space program days I spent some time in the U.S. Until now that period in my life has been classified information. I can now reveal to the public my involvement in a top secret super-soldier program run by the Reagan Administration to create an army of super-powered child vigilantes. My identity was a close kept government secret and this rare photograph shows me relaxing with our superteam mentor Brass General, before embarking on a mission into Soviet Russia.
I don’t like to talk about it, but my I’m proud of my part in the downfall of the Evil Empire. President Reagan himself awarded me the Black Cross, the secret U.S. Military honour for bravery, and the thanks of a grateful nation, before signing my deportation papers and sending me back home to Ireland forever.

God bless you, sir, for keeping us safe. I know I slept better at night knowing you were out there — on our side.

I love that you went outside in that outfit IN PUBLIC. Even at three or four, I don’t think I had that kind of chutzpah. Or, maybe, I had that kind of mother who said, “You’re not going anywhere with me in that…!”

Those were dark days indeed, but thank God we had Ronnie at the helm. The mad old coot scared the bejapers out of those damn commies.
Tadmack, hey it was the eighties, it was Kansas, what can I say, that’s how we rolled.
