Tuesday was Saint Patrick's Day and today many are heading out of work early to watch the real start of March Madness. There's a lot of people out there doing serious damage to their livers this week. Enjoy!

Lots going on in the world but much of America is focused on March Madness. But like much of the US the play-in games don't really count in most people's minds. It will always be a field of 64 and no more. Hope the powers that be notice that nobody was upset at getting left out of a field that is already overcrowded.

Though not widely remembered today - at one point Saint Cornelius of Ireland (not to be confused with Saint Cornelius of Antioch) was second in popularity in the Emerald Isle only to Saint Patrick.
Saint Patrick is remembered for driving the snakes out of Ireland. Saint Cornelius was said to have driven the squirrels out of Ireland. This "miracle" of Saint Cornelius later proved to be his undoing. During the Great Potato Famine starving Irishmen and women wished they had tasty squirrel meat to eat and they cursed Saint Cornelius for driving out the furry rodents. In response to this outrage - Pope Pius IX removed Cornelius from the roll of official Catholic Saints.
His traditional Feast Day was celebrated April1st.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Strange that it falls on a Tuesday this year. Perhaps that's why it seems so subdued. I'll remember to wear green today but not much else, It is Tuesday after all.

The March Madness field was announced last night. That means even though the regimes in Iran and Cuba are on the verge of toppling - reshaping the geopolitics of the entire world - much of the US will be focused on filling out their brackets instead. Not a criticism - just an observation.

Looks like both the regimes in Iran and Cuba are about to fall. Is it bad that I hope they can hold off for just a short while? Have the awful feeling one or both will fall on Tuesday and I selfishly want to keep March 17th for the Irish. All I'm asking for is one day.

Saint Patrick's Day really seems to have snuck up on many this year (me included). Not sure why that is since it's always been March 17th. It's not just St, Paddy's either - next week is spring break for many. Now that really seems to have snuck up.

There was a tragic shooting at Old Dominion yesterday yet the usual voices calling for gun confiscation after such events are oddly silent today. Skeptical minds might think this is because the shooter was a radicalized Islamist felon given early release by a liberal judicial system and the good guys were unarmed military cadets. That doesn't quite match the preferred narrative does it. Wonder if that's why those voices are silent today?
