Oh, look, I found the perfect cartoon to illustrate the day: the evolution of Irish heroes.

Those Christians ruin everything, and I don’t know why we should celebrate Irish culture by honoring a horrible old saint and getting drunk. Why not name it after a hero worth remembering and reciting poetry, for instance…something Ireland is known for, rather than a stereotype that ridicules the place?

First thing that has to go is anything Catholic, unless it has virtues beyond slavish dogma.
