As I said last night I love St. Patrick's Day...but I'm really starting to dislike the parade organizers. They just seem like such power-hungry assholes. They don't let The Gays march (which is just ridiculous really, SO 19th-century) and now they're dissin' the NYFD. The fire department used to be the first group in the parade (something of an honor, I guess) and this year the organizers bumped them back to mid-parade--they claim last year the FD "took too long." The reason they "took too long" is because the New Orleans FD marched with them last year and they were unfurling some sort of banner thanking New York. You're gonna hold THAT against them?
The organizers also said the FD drank too much, or was too unruly during the parade. Irish pot, meet kettle! Just let 'em have their fun--it's St. Patrick's Day, for cryin' out loud. It's not meant to be a sober holiday. As long as they weren't pissing on the lawns or flashing to high school bands, no harm done.
