Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! I’d say something cool and witty in Gaelic, but guess what, I’m too lazy to look it up! Anyway, St. Patrick’s Day is being celebrated at the White House this year Obama style. Meeeesh had them dye all the fountain water green! Love her.
And now, perhaps for the first time ever, a SWTCTW repost. Dearest Madeline found this gem and posted it awhile back, but I think today’s as great a day as any to show it again. I present to you the song “There’s No One As Irish As Barack Obama”!
It’s no “Danny Boy”, but I think I love it. Have a fantastic St. Patrick’s Day! Do something Irishy! Drink something Guinnessy! Get lucky…in the Irish sort of way.
PS- Found this article to make us all sophisticated while celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. (It’ll tell you what Erin Go Bragh actually means, so maybe you should check it out.)

Over the years I’ve been grateful to my Irish ancestors for many things; coming to America, skin so pale it’s see-through, an iron liver, Catholic guilt, etc. So it’s not as if I needed another reason to be proud of my Irish heritage, but a little band called Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys wrote this little ditty to celebrate Barack Obama’s election to the highest post in all the land and it’s fabulous. They’ve been invited to perform at an inaugural ball in January and are currently recording their newest single “When President Obama Comes Home to Moneygall.”
