The Associated Press reports that Irish firefighters from New York can no longer parade wearing their customary green berets during tomorrow’s St. Patrick’s Day parade. An attorney for some of the firefighters plans to file a complaint with the state Division on Human Rights accusing the department of discrimination on the basis of religion and ethnicity. To Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta, a St. Paddy’s Day wish – may the curse of Mary Malone and her nine blind illegitimate children chase you so far over the hills of Damnation that the Lord himself can’t find you with a telescope.
The Green Berets of South Bronx.
