Bloggers!Happy St. Patrick’s Day!Woah! Like what I did here?!… A little green color for the occasion… You like?
As my mother always said, “the next best thing to green beer is a green font for the blog….” OK, so she didn’t say that, but it is time for ‘Beat 360°.’ Everyday we post a picture - and you provide the caption. Our staff will get in on the action too.Tune in every night at 10p ET to see if you are our favorite! Can you Beat 360°?
Here is today’s “Beat 360°” pic of the day: Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern presents President Bush with a bowl of shamrocks during a St. Patrick’s Day ceremony today in the East Room of the White House in Washington 
Here’s one to get you started:
Prime Minister Ahern:
Mr. President, we figured you might need the ‘luck of the Irish’ right about now…
President Bush:
What? You couldn’t bring the ‘Pot o’ gold’ for us too?
Have fun with it.
Make sure to include your name, city, state (or country) so we can post your comment.
