it's pretty obvious that it says paddy both times (cabin found for paddy/that's the paddy's cure) and it is a derisive word for the irish, but I know a lot of irish and irish-americans who use it in jest, much like any other ethnic group uses derisve words in closed circles as loving terms. for example, every time i go to the bar, the bar-tender and I take a shot "for paddy," although I must say I'm a bit bewildered by the substitution of D's for T's, although I'm sure it has something to do with the original gaelic spelling
