House Concurrent Resolution No. 29

Perhaps some of you have seen the sleeper hit Napoleon Dynamite. I hadn't particularly planned on seeing it until a co-worker kept talking about it and thought the kids we worked with would really enjoy it, since it targeted much of the awkwardness teens experience during high school. So I watched with the kids one day when it was raining during our off-unit activity time, and I discovered it was a hilarious, quirky movie.

Well, I thought I saw it all until I came across this resolution that the Idaho State House of Representatives wanted to "recognize and commend Jared and Jerusha Hess for their cinematic talents by which they have increased the nation's awareness of Idaho." For those who had any doubts about voting for this resolution in the affirmative, they were given an ultimatum in the resolution:

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!"

This is only an example...Just read the resolutions, and I think you'll find them funnier than the film.
