We intend to celebrate with our best corned beef and cabbage dinner. I can report that, while there was great alarm recently when the end of the rainbow was conclusively found to be missing a pot of gold, my kids found all of the pieces of gold in our annual treasure hunt in the back yard (The Leprechauns appears to favor the new dollar coins featuring John Quincy Adams, who bears a striking Leprechaun appearance).
It is not clear how President Obama (who is roughly three percent Irish) will celebrate, but I will note that if St. Patty could get the snakes out of Ireland, President Obama should be able to get the AIG bonuses out of the federal budget.
I leave you with this inspiring picture of how this day unites all species.
