So today is Saint Patrick�s Day. That great historical remembrance of the champion of Catholicism in Ireland, Saint Patrick�that has now be turned into an occasion for:
-Drinking
-Getting drunk
-Violently pinching people who don�t wear green
-Consuming large quantities of alcohol
-Intentionally polluting the Chicago river
-Swallowing green beer by the keg
-Promoting witchcraft and magic
-Swimming in pools of beer
-Making fun of Irish people
-Giving a false sense of hope by promising pots of gold
-Promoting the idea that a thing called �luck� exists
-Insinuating that shamrocks provide larger quantities of this �luck�
-Making fun of leprechauns
-Commercializing the holiday by selling green party supplies
-Men wearing dresses
-etc.
-etc.
-etc.
So now Saint Paddy�s Day is pretty much a dumb holiday. Also, women wearing hose with open toe shoes is a fashion faux pas. I�m on a horse.
