Happy St Pat's Day!

[TayTay]

Just a great day today, full of sunshine and warmth. I hope everyone either gets to enjoy it or soon gets a day they can enjoy!

Just a favorite song: Mountain Tay-Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem

And my favorite political song of all time: (Boy does this one sum up DU sometimes)
Whatever You Say, Say Nothing-Makem & Clancy

I grew up listening to the Clancy Bros. and was fascinated to hear that Bob Dylan was/is a fan, too:

BTW, Roger Ebert is as good a reason as any to read Twitter.

4. My daughter had the following St Patrick's day status

"St. Patrick might be the patron saint of Ireland, but he was also a former slave and one of the first religious figures in history to call for an end to slavery, and for that: a very happy St. Patrick's day to anyone working to abolish any kind of injustice."

5. Your daughter is a wise young woman! n/t

8. Happy St. Pat's!

I forgot to wear green, but enjoyed seeing everyone else on the T doing so! A mystery knitter festooned one of the statues near where I live with a tall green knitted hat and the clerk at the used bookstore had clearly put on every green item of clothing she owned, all at the same time.

I did get to pick up my requested Christy Moore CD from the library today, so that was my little touch of Irish for the day!

I just found this hilarious snippet (italics mine!):

In Massachusetts, the winner was a former antiwar activist whose 55% to 45% victory is sure to restore some of the commonwealth's old reputation as a leftist bastion. The image is not altogether accurate, but John Kerry, 40, will be one of a trio of liberal Senate freshmen. An attractive Yale graduate decorated for naval heroics in Viet Nam before he turned against the war, the Irish-American Kerry is conspicuously Kennedyesque.

9. Nice snippet

They were right on everything but the ancestry - though didn't the BG say he had a very small amount of Irish ancestry.
