They're magically delicious
Mar. 17th, 2005 05:16 pmAs I left the court building for lunch, I bumped right into the St. Patrick's Day parade on Broadway. The highlight of the parade was the group of bikers wearing big foam leprechaun hats. I also enjoyed the high school band that played that song so likely to bring a tear to the eye of anyone with a drop of Irish blood... myself included; I refer, of course, to the theme from Rocky.
People with obvious Irish ancestry were distinctly in the minority in the parade; like totem animals, they were prominently displayed on fire engines. All in all, I think it's a healthy thing for our multicultural metropolis that the majority of the parade participants and spectators were little brown peoples.
I will have much to say when the trial is over.
ETA: Part of the musical entertainment for the St. Paddy's Day ceremonies was sponsored by O'Doul's. Can anything be more pathetic than a non-alcoholic beer sponsoring a St. Paddy's Day event?

Anyway, didn't the Irish help out the Mexicans to some degree in the Mexican-American war? (Am I thinking of the right war?) So, maybe it's even more fitting than anyone realizes.
I can't wait to see this trial through Tice-Vision.
