We’re usually not in favor of political fronts, but it appears that Guinness, the eminent brewer of the world-famous stout, has set up a group called Proposition 3-17, which is presenting an online petition in favor of making St. Patrick’s Day a national holiday. Amen. I have signed other petitions to make “Irish Pride Day” and “Christmas for Beer Drinkers” recognized, but I am a serious observer of St. Patrick’s Day, and would have signed this petition even if I would have had to set down my glass to do so. St. Pat’s is actually the one day every year, when, if it falls on a weekday, I actually watch the clock until I can commence celebrating. Fortunately, I am not alone; when I went so sign the petition, I found that I was already number 973,133. If you feel as strongly as I do, please show your support (no matter how frivolous online petitions actually are). By the way, if this one passes, the Farkers have begun lobbying for another national holiday: The Day After St. Patrick’s Day.
