Owen's St David's Day
From the Wisconsin State Journal:
Let the frivolous legislation begin
...St. David's Day. Never heard of it? You will if Assembly Joint Resolution 9, sponsored by Rep. Carol Owens, R-Oshkosh, makes it to the governor's desk. It turns out that like their Celtic cousins in Ireland, the Welsh love to sing and carouse a bit on the day of their patron saint, David. The day is celebrated by eating leek soup and remembering St. David's final words: "Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed. Do the little things that you have seen me do."
See the bill here. This joint resolution calls for the Wisconsin Legislature to join with all Wisconsinites who revere their Welsh heritage in celebrating St. David's Day on March 1, 2007.

How many times is this disgrace of a legislator going to try getting this ridiculous legislation passed? She should be concentrating on bills that truly affect her constituents instead of this silliness.
..Should be concentrating on bills that truly affect constituents - yes.
Just to be fair, take a look at these below (and read the linked article in the original post). She's not alone:
1. Representative Schneider AJR 5
- Christmas tree business

2. Representative Nelson AJR 12
- the hamburger bill
(http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2007/data/AJR-12.pdf)
Then over to the Senate:
3. Several Sen, including Roessler SJR 4
- Ronald Reagan Day
