Yup, it’s St Patrick’s Day. I’ve been waiting for TSO’s annual drunk-blog posting, but it looks like his wife has kept him sober.

But chin up, it seems that the president is claiming some Irish blood, so’s he can be like you, according to the Associated Press not all of his relatives are happy about that;

The survey allowed genealogists to further trace branches in Obama’s family tree and others who arrived on the ship, known as the Marmion, on March 20, 1850.

According to the survey, the passengers’ descendants live in Canada, Syria and throughout the United States. Among Obama’s newly identified relatives is 83-year-old Dorma Lee Reese, of Tucson, Ariz.

“I’m not a Democrat, so I can’t say I clapped,” said Reese, a retired brain-imaging technologist. “I don’t appreciate what he’s done by any means, but I do appreciate that he holds that office.”

So there ya go.

I’m Swedish, ya know, so Guinness tastes like sheep gravy (unless TSO or B5 are buying). Odin!
