Hate Alert

Saint Patrick's Day is tomorrow, and I for one am glad to have part of my heritage a day devoted to drinking.

But on the radio this morning I hear an advertisement for a pub that included a mention of the drink called the "Irish car bomb".

Can you imagine a drink being called the "Moslem car bomb?"

Of course you can't. You have to pick the targets to offend very carefully.

The really funny part of this is that people who use this name for the drink aren't even worried about offending actual Irish terrorists who used them.
