Erin Go Braugh

She doesn't know it yet but she's my special St. Patrick's day guest. How could I resist when she started an email to me today with "if i had a blog...."

And then followed with some very passionate and articulate thoughts about drilling for oil in the artic, SUV's and the environment, the World Bank, the deficit, the war, and social security, culminating in these exact words: "I CANT STAND IT."

I couldn't agree more, and couldn't love her more for her intellect, her passion for all things policy related, and most especially her ability to express her opinons so smartly. But I also didn't ask if I could reproduce her excellent rant verbatim so you got the executive summary.

But...because she's an Irish lass through and through, I can't resist sharing this little bit of the email:

On a brighter note, I'm dressed in head to toe in green, John got up early to get the cornbeef and cabbage started, I'm going to Anna's class today to do St. Patrick's crafts, Sara Maeve looks adorable in her little green sweater with a hood and she got into the craft bag and ate some green construction paper in honor of the day!

Whether you celebrate with green beer, green bagels or green paper...Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!!!

It is just not St. Paddy's day without the A family's corn beef extravaganza! :(

Love that little note from Erin- eating green construction paper... hehe

Maybe she does need a blog?!
