Why should these people besmirch our Holy Day any way. They can cut St. Patrick's day out as well. As a Pat I resent the debauchery!
Taking St. Patrick's Day off doesn't make any sense. Now, the DAY AFTER St. Patrick's Day I understand.
But the government doesn't think when it decides on holidays and when to observe them. Case in point: Martin Luther King Day.
MLK Day is observed on no particular date in January just so long as it's a Monday to make for a long weekend. Some people take it off, more and more companies in the private sector don't recognize it as a holiday. How do we get everybody on board with a MLK Day holiday? The answer is simple and makes total sense...
It's the end of football season. Hellooooo? Designate the Monday after the Super Bowl Sunday as MLK Day!
I really should have more say in how this country is run...
