    St Patrick's Day Parade cancelled!!

    .......In Hoboken New Jersey. The reasons given are rather curious........

    Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer criticised the “unacceptable” levels of property damage and crime, and said that many residents of the city felt forced to leave the area for the day of the parade. There were a reported 34 arrests stemming from last year’s parade for offences including fighting, public urination and disorderly conduct, according to Bloomberg.
    Seems as if the good people of Hoboken are really getting into the spirit of the day and celebrating it just as we do in the ol' sod!

    Here are the good folk of Hoboken celebrating Paddy's Day in 2009.

    There was a story that the White House Bash is being held March 20th - so will Irish Politicians spent St Patrick's Day in Ireland ?

    White House set to move St.Patrick’s Day event to Tuesday March 20th

    She banned it because the Irish are "anti-semitic" obviously.

    She is prob a racist as well and has major problems with Sinn Fein.

    If you mean Saint Patrick's day - same as most places.

    Drunken eejits making a show of themselves and being an embarrassment to the rest of us.
