March 17, 2005

Or Green Day, as some school boards are calling it, in the usual attempt to hide the Christian origins of the festival.

You can read my March 17, 2001 column, The Camp Of St. Patrick, about Irish immigration in the nineteenth century, (not an unmixed blessing) or you can read An Irish-American Reader Complains About Fulford’s “Ganging Up On America.”, depending on your sympathies.

But Happy St. Patrick's Day, while it's still allowed.
