White House Fountain Green Again for St. Paddy’s Day … Sorta

The Associated Press offers up this photo as evidence that the White House has once again dyed the water in the North Lawn fountain green for St. Patrick’s Day. Except, call me crazy, but it doesn’t look particularly green. Compare that with this image from 2009. I guess this year they went with more of a light seafoam hue?…
