A great holiday, or the greatest holiday?

You can have your President's Day and Thanksgiving and Christmas and all that. Whatever. Because deep down, you know that St. Patty's Day is truly the best holiday of the year. Trouble being, of course, that it's not actually a national holiday.

Well Guiness would like to change that with "Proposition 3-17," an online petition looking for a million signatures between now and March 16th. Of course, this is nothing more than a marketing and publicity stunt, but it's working, because I'm linking to it and talking about it, aren't I?

But here's the thing -- it's not St. Patrick's Day that we need to be a national holiday. Rather, we need National Day After St. Patrick's Day, because that's the day we really need off work. At least, if we're celebrating properly.

(And in related news, it seems that places like my home state of Pennsylvania are finally starting to get rid of their idiotic beer laws.)
