Dubz, thought you might find this interesting:
Guinness raises a glass to 3-17
Should St. Patrick's Day be an official holiday?
Guinness thinks so, and they've launched a major campaign to support their cause. Go to http://www.proposition317.com to sign the petition and learn more about why they think March 17 should be a national day of importance. In order for Guinness to take the issue to Congress, they need 1 million signatures. The current tally: 888,768.
"Never before has the Irish spirit been so alive inside of so many U.S. residents," the website states. "Guinness and Proposition 3-17 supporters believe that a regulated, official holiday would not only reduce the amount of employees missing work in order to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but officially allow people to express their Irishness."

| I don't know, but the commercial with Abe Lincoln whacking the clipboard out of the interviewer's hand cracks me up. I don't even know why. :D |

| Now who (besides bosses, etc.) would be against a holiday? Esp. one where you really are just encouraged to drink. |
