4 St. Patrick’s Day.
Why it should be a public holiday: Plenty of people already take the day off, so it’s not an especially productive day… Congress could finally get its approval rate up by turning this into a holiday… the It Gets Better people would love how much this day off would curb our schools’ pinching epidemic.
Why it should not be a public holiday: Once this becomes a holiday, people realize it makes more sense for the day after to be the one with no work… like the Super Bowl, it’s dicey to create holidays around binge drinking… Twitter would be temporarily outraged about Congress and OBAMA creating an American holiday around an Irish tradition.
