What? I hope they don't call themselves Irishmen. My entire family is originally from Kinsale, Ireland (which is the so called "Sister City" to my current city, Newport, Rhode Island) so perhaps a taste for good beers of all kind and whiskey of even more is in my blood.
I love St. Patricks day. I'm not really a Catholic, but one must celebrate one's family, and what better way is there truly then to just have a nationwide party in the streets?
