It's St. Patrick's Day! Instead of drinking green beer and puking in a garbage can, you might have to write a holiday-themed piece. I have just the links to help you.

St. Patrick's Day Parade Central, with news on parades and celebrations all over the country. (The US, not Ireland.)

The History Channel's story of St. Patrick, along with a video clip and other St. Paddy Day ephemera.

Resources on the Irish Potato Famine.

Aer Lingus kicks out the jams for St. Paddy's Day (AdAge)

And of course we celebrate not having a famine with some traditional Irish recipes. Yum!

The newest news on Sinn Fein and the IRA.

How they dye the Chicago river green.

Stories on alcohol abuse, responsibility and teetotaling for the holiday. Actually, forget about that teetolaling one. I found one link that suggests not drinking today but it was from 2002. Seriously.

And the websites of some of Ireland's favorite sons, U2 and Van Morrison.

Growing shamrocks!

And Media Watch PR can hook you up with all sorts of Irish Media Services!
