Good question. Being a Texan, I'm especially annoyed with this bogus holiday. We won the war we fought against Mexico. Are we really supposed to celebrate one of their holidays? TO be fair, I don't celebrate St Patty's Day either.
Better question: why is this thread still here when a thread last Memorial Day thanking our vets was deleted by the moderators as being "off topic?"
