I am not Irish (4.00 / 1)

remind me, what is all the drinking about, and why we perpetuate the stereotypical drunk Irishman? How does it connect with being a Democrat? Seriously, I mean literally I don't quite get it, even figuratively...okay Steve Marchand on Facebook this am

Today is one of the few days of the yr that you can do anything - as long as you can connect it to the holiday. On Halloween, you can wear anything you want & say "Hey, it's Halloween!". On Valentine's Day, you can be sweet to anybody & say "Hey, it's Valentine's Day!" Today, you can start drinking at 9am in your un...derwear while walking through a car wash & as long as you have a green t-shirt on, it's all good.

I find it demeaning like the cheap Jew, shiftless Black etc.

Because (4.00 / 1)

today is Evacuation Day--the day when the British evacuated Boston thanks in some part to the New Hampshire forces at the Battle of Bunker Hill the previous summer. So don't overdo it, but raise a glass of a fine American microbrew and toast the Republic.

Secretary of State Clinton (0.00 / 0)

This year we are also celebrating the historic Hillsborough Agreement in Northern Ireland on the devolution of policing and justice. This was a key step toward realizing the promise of the Good Friday Agreement and the St. Andrews Agreement, and achieving a full and lasting peace in Northern Ireland. The people and government of the Republic of Ireland can be proud of the role they played in supporting the peace process and producing this progress.
Like St. Patrick himself, the Irish have overcome great adversity to become an inspiration to people around the world, as peace-makers and poets, and as immigrants and innovators. The connections between our two countries stretch back for centuries and are still strong today. For millions of Americans, Ireland is the homeland. And for millions more, Ireland represents the progress that is possible when people come together and work together for prosperity and peace.
