Question of the day

Friday, Mar 16, 2012 - Posted by Rich Miller

* I was looking for something quick to post this morning, but just couldn’t find anything easy and then realized I could’ve done a long post in the time it took me to think about a short one.

Such is the life of a blog owner.

So, let’s do a question instead.

* Illinois primary day is to ____ as St. Patrick’s Day is to _____?

Snark is most definitely encouraged.
