Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thank you for being a happy St. Patrick's Day. A pet peeve of mine,

it's much stronger than a pet peeve. Whatever is stronger than a pet peeve, that's what this is.

Great lament. I should stop saying it's a pet peeve. It's not even close to a pet peeve. It's a lament of

Santa and presents. Easter was the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's the thing that the entire

Christian faith hangs on. We are to be most pitied if this didn't actually
