Apparently The Man does have a sense of humor. Or the midwest is as boring as I recall from my youth. Last week Idaho Legislature adopted a bill whose only goal was "commending Jared and Jerusha Hess and the City of Preston for the production of the movie ‘Napoleon Dynamite.’"
I kid you not. I would list some funny excerpts from the bill here but there are just too flippin’ many. It starts out pretty dry, but WHOO BOY it gets rolling. As I read it, I became more and more suspicious of a joke, especially when I got to:
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!" [ed: like anyone can even know that…]
But the URL is hard to fake, and the Idaho Statesman made brief mention of it on April 6, so it’s the real deal. Read it for yourself.
Yes! I love technology!
