Title: St. Patty's Day (add an apostrophe). Text: St. Patrick's Day (change t to k). (I'd leave out the full stop after St too, on the basis that contractions shouldn't have full stops (Mr, Mrs, Dr, Prof., Leut, Col., St) but American practice is to include a full stop in these positions.) TRiG.

This is not a St. Patric’s Day Parade but a Hate-the-Gays Day Parade.

While Irish and Catholics aren’t identical, I live in a community which is predominantly made up of Catholics from the North who have transplanted to the South and they are Classic, Classic Bigots.

I wish Hillary Clinton and others who proudly march in that bigot parade understood the issue as well as the President of Ireland.

President McAleese, you ROCK!

It’s terrible that they have to exclude people.

I, for one, don’t see the point.

Why does it always have to be the Ancient Order of Hibernians to control the New York St-Patrick Parade? Why not the Irish American Association?

Now, the Irish do walk the walk when it comes to the sense of justice.
