KISS ME, I'M CAUCASIAN

HOLLYWOOD -- Hope everybody had a good St. Patrick's Day. If you recall, the Bar Exam took a swipe at green beer last year, but this year MSNBC did a much more thorough job. Now, despite accusations to the contrary, I'm not trying to be a killjoy. The fact is, green beer just doesn't taste good. Don't get me wrong - there's a time and place for cheap beer. (Old Style, Wrigley Field, 12:05, for example.) But on the one day out of the year where we celebrate the Irish... let's do so with a decent beer. So instead of hoisting a green-tinted High Life, find a bartender than can draw a shamrock in the foam of an expertly pulled Guinness. Mmmm... taste the fun!
