HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Will this be the year state legislators finally get down to business -- and decide whether the polka or square dance should be the official state dance?

Or will they compromise, and name both a state dance and a state folk dance?

Never mind the budget battle -- lawmakers are floating seven bills to designate state symbols ranging from dirt to dinosaurs. The dance issue is a perennial source of debate among the power brokers in Harrisburg.

"This has been going on forever. Let's just get it over with," said Sen. Lisa Boscola. "We don't have a budget and we have time for this?"

For the record, she danced the polka at her wedding.

And if those fools in Harrisburg don't select it for the state dance, I'll vote the bastards out!!

5. As a lifelong Keystoner - I know how to Polka and Square Dance

But my vote would be for the Polka. I actually own a few Polka tapes and I enjoy listening to the music!!

I hope they pick the polka. Of course I am from the scranton area, home of Ferdie Bistocchi the polka king.
