Guinness has launched Proposition 3-17, a campaign to make St. Patrick’s Day an official holiday in the US. Just to go proposition317.com to sign the petition or to just read about why they want March 17 recognized.

Guinness needs 1 million signatures to take the issue to Congress. As of this writing they had over 886,000 signatures to go. I suppose we could always use another holiday. Especially one that gives us reason to have a tasty Guinness.
