Continuing Resolution and Holidays

I provide an answer to a liberal's defense of Chuck Schumer's vote for the continuing resolution here. Again, I respect it is not a simple issue.

Spring has begun. The weather already has been warm. There is not much "lion" this March so far. I heard the birds chirping outside my window now. 

March 17-19 also involves my personal holidays from St. Patrick's Day (mom) and St. Joseph's Day (dad). You can find a discussion of Joseph, father of Jesus, from a historian's perspective on this website. 

The middle day is one of my own creation, St. JP Day (Joseph Paul), a holiday for Irish/Italian mutts. 

And, it's about time to play real baseball!
