St. Patrick is rolling in his grave...

I find it fascinating that for 364 days a year, the media, and most governmental officials spend volumes of time and countless dollars discouraging excessive drinking. Then on March 17, those same individuals are on TV/Radio joining in the excessive drinking that occurs on this day.

A day that is supposed to be a religious celebration of the introduction of Christianity to Ireland. How did this become a day where it is OK to be a drunken ass?
