An Idaho man is suing police over claims that an officer threw him to the ground during St. Patrick's Day celebrations in Butte last year.

The Irish car bomb (a shot of Irish whiskey and Irish cream dropped into a pint of Guinness) is a standard St. Patrick's Day cocktail, though its origins aren't commonly known.

If you’re “celebrating” St. Patrick’s day by simply donning your favorite green t-shirt, you’re doing it wrong. Do it right this year: parade through the streets, pack your bags for Dublin, get pelted by the contents of the grocery store’s produce section, or even run a marathon.
