i don't approve of the irish lifestyle, the augusta area is just too conservative and doesn't want this liberal display of debauchery. keep it in savannah, along with your money.
lol. Did Deke get a legal opinion before approving this parade too? Oh the hypocrisy!
Don't worry treerock, they have banned every group that has any fun. It's the most boring parade in the U.S. I wouldn't watch if it was in my front yard and they paid me $500. What ain't right is the taxpayers pay to clean up their mess and provide security.
