The obligatory St. Patrick’s Day post.

All right, let’s get this over with.  I’m 7/8ths Boston Irish Catholic, and I hate St. Patrick’s Day for precisely that reason.  It’s a gala day of crude ethnic stereotypes mixed with people who dramatically show that they cannot handle their liquor: the first is excusable enough, but the latter grates on my soul.  Particularly since the people who cannot handle their liquor typically drink horrifically bad beer that is often green.

Beer should not be green.  If it comes out green, then you have done something wrong and you should not drink it.  If you have dyed it green, you are a bad person and the beer should be taken away from you for its own protection.

That’s it.  You can go back to wearing those stupid hats now.

A special St. Patrick’s Day message for Dodd, from the NRSC.

[UPDATE] Hi to Instapundit readers.

It takes a lot for me to admit to the existence of St. Patrick’s Day; like virtually everybody else who can legitimately claim full-blooded Irish descent (15/16ths, in my case), I despise this holiday. Drunken non-Celtic buffoons with bad accents vomiting all over the place doesn’t appeal*. So, it requires something special to get me to even acknowledge the iconography.

This’ll do:
