St. Patricks Day Celebration is Cancelled in Normal, Mn.: FICTION

Pretty stunning news from Normal, Mn. this morning; in a text from my old friend Herman, it seems that by civil ordinance they have cancelled celebration of St. Patricks Day in Normal, Mn.-----

Just the whole thought of being like the Irish and having to be austere was too much...the locals who for many years now had believed that they had not been saved, that it was just the parasite bankers that had got the bailout, were shocked by the depth of the national political bailout of corporations, school districts, cities etc with TIF projects, sewer projects, senior center projects and all sorts of good projects that the federal government needed to be involved in and fund totally so that they could move forward------it was all so shameful that they in one sudden moment got sick to their stomach and did not want to party anymore...I know that is hard to believe...but it's the news.....

And they decided to hang a banner across the road entering Normal, Mn. that declared in bold red letters...."We're ALL Irish NOW"...
