In the news: St Patricks Day

Why are there so many fucking holidays?? Honestly, I mean, I get this one, heritage and all, but, y'all, I think we really should get rid of some of these things. I'm a 'hater', I guess, but we could probly chop 2 or 3 holidays off the calendar and still be okay with the universe, nay? This picture is pertinent to NOTHING. News:
