  Patrick Roddy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick Roddy was an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
On 27 September 1858 on the return from Kuthirga, India of the Kupperthula Contingent, Ensign Roddy, who was serving with that force, charged an armed rebel whom the cavalry was afraid to approach, as each time they moved the rebel knelt, covering the horseman nearest him.
This, however, did not deter Ensign Roddy, who went boldly in, and although his horse was shot under him and the rebel tried to cut him down the ensign seized and killed him with his sword.

Since beginning his column, Roddy has landed a fistful of awards, being named top columnist in the nation by the Scripps Howard Foundation in 2000, top humor columnist by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, and three times by the Western Pennsylvania Press Club.
In 1996, Roddy's column on national politics was syndicated by the Scripps Howard News Service and carried, more or less, in more than a dozen papers around the country.
After a stint as the political reporter for the late Pittsburgh Press, Roddy, as he puts it, was "bought with the furniture" when the Post-Gazette moved in and quickly became a newsroom fixture, disrupting staff meetings, annoying editors and terrorizing the copy desk.

Historical sources report that he was born around 373 A.D. in either Scotland (near the town of Dumbarton) or in Roman Britain (the Romans left Britain in 410 A.D.).

 Irish Comic's Contrasts
Throughout the opening chapter Patrick shows himself to be an entertaining, irreverent observer of Irish life, as in this remark from the book's third paragraph, provoked by encountering ``a skinny useless fella'' he dislikes: ``I hated the way he put `boy' at the end of every sentence.
Patrick says he ``hates'' numerous people and things, and if ``Knick Knack Paddy Whack'' were only the acidic commentary of a witty young man, it would not stand out from the mass of other such stories.
Tension between the ways of town and city, and between the working-class Patrick and the comfortable students, reveal the pressures of a society in flux.
