Bless My Lucky Charms
About a decade ago I was working for a little newspaper in the Garlic Capital of the World when another paper (I think the San Jose Mercury News) ran a story about how bad it is to stereotype Irishmen as heavy drinkers. If I remember correctly, it was a particularly unlikable Irishman who wrote the story. Of course we talked about it a lot in our newsroom and in very short order, realized the hardest drinkers in our office all had Irish surnames. (I used to be a Collins.)

So I wonder what that reporter in question would make of the "St. Patrick's Day Picks" Fresh Direct has just sent around in an e-mail. Among the suggestions for ye Irish Lovers are Guinness, Harp's, Lucky Charms cereal, oatmeal, and corn beef and cabbage. Oh, lest I forget Irish Spring soap and Edge shave gel?
