Saint Patrick's Day
or "Kiss Me, I'm Christian"
What better place than here at PDD to remind folks that the real St. Patrick wouldn't at all be pleased with the riotous living and drunkenness that too often marks his feast day. The United States, especially, stands guilty of commemorating one of Christianity's great missionaries with excessive alcohol consumption and generally stupid behavior.
So if you're going to hoist a pint or two in honor of Padraig, try to keep in mind your vocation and the example you give to those around you. And if you'd like to find out a bit more about the saint, please see the commemoration of Saint Patrick at Aardvark Alley.
