Mark McGwire, a balding, svelter version of his former 70-home-run self, sauntered into a congressional hearing room on St. Patrick's Day wearing a light green tie. But there were no eyes, Irish or otherwise, smiling on him from the dais. Before members of the House Government Reform Committee and millions of fans watching on television, McGwire swore to tell nothing but the truth. Instead, he told nothing. After a moving opening statement in which he cried while ruing the deaths of young steroid users, the cameras clicked in wild anticipation. Was Big Mac ready to admit that...

My best times, however, were always spent dancing in my room (and almost breaking things or myself) or spending hours trying to learn the choreography in Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody” video...
never dupe a Dubliner. That said, the Asgard does have a fabulous stock of Irish beers and liquors, supplementing ol’ standbys Guinness and Jameson’s with Smithwick’s (new in this country) and Tullamore Dew. The Asgard will surely host a great St. Paddy’s Day party, but those looking for a more authentic experience might want to end their night in a smaller, independent...
