St. Patrick

Today is St. Patrick's Day, a day to celebrate an individual that has been given sainthood by the Vatican. To this end, I find it particularly interesting that in America it is celebrate with large parades, pomp toil, and green beer. Additionally, Chicago turns it's river green, at the expense of the tax payer. Along with the green beer there are many intoxicated individuals with stickers that say, "Kiss me I'm Irish." Have they pondered on who they are celebrating? I would think not, I certainly would not want to "Tap a Keg" on Christmas to celebrate the coming of Christ. In case you wanted to know, I am wearing my green christmas pajama's tonight, I did not want to get tinced.
