White House North Lawn Fountain: Sufficiently Green
Last year, we were kinda disappointed with the shade of green that the White House chose to dye the North Lawn fountain in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.

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?…
