The Ulster Volunteers were founded in 1913, the UVF in 1966 and Arthur Guinness died in 1803 but don't let the truth get in the way of a childish pathetic and ethnically abhorrent contribution.

Meh, protestants can be Irish too. Even Unionist ones - whether they like it or not.

I don't know the actual Irish tradition in Ireland, but over here in the USA here I consider it to be one of America's worst pseudo-holidays, on par with Cinco de Mayo.
