Happy St. Patrick's Day!

[Bumped, throughout Friday]

Posting will be limited for the next couple days, as I'm heading out of town to celebrate St. Paddy's Day as God intended - with a bunch of fellow Golden Domers.  Check it out, it's even a rare sunny day in South Bend.

Not that I'm going to South Bend.  But noteworthy nonetheless.

Elsewhere of Irish note, today's Wall Street Journal Online eyes the "Celtic Tiger", examining how Ireland has managed to turn a country with 15% unemployment as recently as 1993 into booming, high-growth economic success story, swiftly outpacing its EU counterparts.  (Hint: trade liberalization and tax breaks - these things actually work!)

Go Irish.

Update:  The Tax Foundation drinks a toast to Ireland's pro-business corporate tax structure.  That works too - whoulda thunk it?  We should get us some of that.  (Hat tip: Mary Katharine Ham)
