I think that its time for the US Government to recongize St Patricks Day as a PAID FEDERAL HOLIDAY. Therefore I will not Recongize Martin Luther King day or Columbus day till St Patricks Day is a paid federal holiday. The blacks have their day, the Itatlins have their day, why not the Irish. That to me is discrimination on the Irish. My job right now its business as usual and I get both as a floating holiday which I will take on St Patricks Day . The federal government needs to really do something about this. Either give St Patricks day a holiday or take both MLK Day and Columbus Day away.
