Tír na nÓg's world famous debating society plans to go on tour for the first time to argue that people should get involved in politics.  The Tír na nÓg Union, where would-be thespians and lawyers hone their oratory skills while getting totally plastered, plans to transport props from the debating chamber, including three thrones, a keg and a tap, to Somerville's Mayoral inauguration.  As one might expect from a debating club, a great deal of discussion was spent on whether to bring "Old Speckled Hen," or "Tremont IPA." As usual, the moderator, Robert "What?" Elliot, did little to direct the debate, instead mumbling about some debater named "Bailey's."  About 400 Union members will also travel down for the May 21st inauguration,  entitled "It's Hip To Be A Sexy, Caring Grandma.''
