Things That Make You Go "What The..." 12.14.2005

At the New Sisyphus, I found: I Could Have Passed That Bill In 10 Seconds:
Representative democracy of the type practiced in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand is vastly superior in all measureable terms to any other system either formerly or currently in use.

Today comes further proof of this essential fact, via the proud State of Idaho's fine legislature. They adopted the following resolution, unanimously, that, I think, speaks for all of us:
...
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
STATING LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND COMMENDING JARED AND JERUSHA HESS AND THE
CITY OF PRESTON FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE MOVIE "NAPOLEON DYNAMITE."
...

It's got to be an "urban legend", because, after all, no state legislature will pass a measure which contains the following language, right?
WHEREAS, any members of the House of Representatives or the Senate of the Legislature of the State of Idaho who choose to vote "Nay" on this concurrent resolution are "FREAKIN' IDIOTS!" and run the risk of having the "Worst Day of Their Lives!"
So it was time to go to Google.

And what does Google yield? The actual resolution, on Idaho's official web site: House Concurrent Resolution No. 29 - Napoleon Dynamite, production.

(Shakes head in disbelief.)

A moderate conservative living in the left coast, surrounded by the sureal, wonders if there is a sane life living amongst those who have lost touch with reality.
