WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden's plans to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day were scrambled Thursday after Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin tested positive for COVID-19.

Biden was supposed to host Martin for a day of festivities, but those events have been reimagined as the Irish leader isolates at Blair House across the street from the White House. The two leaders will hold a virtual bilateral meeting and Martin will sit out the annual “Friends of Ireland Luncheon” at the Capitol that Biden will attend. Biden will go ahead with a White House reception planned for Thursday evening, but Martin will not attend.

Martin learned he had tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday evening while attending an event with Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but the White House said the president was not considered a close-contact of Martin — also referred to as Ireland’s taoiseach.

1. Taoiseach is pronounced "Tee-Shuk"

On Saint Patrick's Day newscaster's are tripped up by the way Taoiseach looks on paper and the way it is spoken. So, they opt for Prime Minister.

Still, I'm happy that even though many in the press can't ever seem to get the title right they are at least trumpeting that today is the day that everyone is Irish, and everyone is invited to the party.

Except for that little prick Putin.

If he turns up I'm pretty sure he'll end up in the fucking river.
