... And This is What's Happening in Your World Tonight


Here is a news story that will knock your socks off. The Catholic Church has decided to change the date of St. Patrick's Day from the standard March 17th, to the 14th. Apparently, the 17th fell on the first day of Holy Week and they changed the date... yes, they can do that. So that officially changes the day of St. Patrick's Day from a Monday to a Friday. I know, it sounds too good to be true, but here's the article if you don't believe me. However, although many Catholics may be celebrating on the 14th, many U.S cities, ignoring the piety, are still having their parades on Saturday and Sunday. Chicago's will be on the 15th, and Detroit, in all of its wisdom, will have their parade on Palm Sunday. What does this mean for the rest of us? Considering I am practically 100% Irish, a Catholic, and my middle is Patrick, I am going to celebrate fully on the 14th-16th, and calling in sick on Monday, so I can go drinking.

In other news, this guy is having a really bad day.

And that is what's happening in your world today.

"Bad day" is an understatement.
However, his sign-off is one of the best finishes i've seen in years.
