Idaho invents a new kind of political leverage
Napoleon Dynamite, the “super-nerd.”
I direct your attention to HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 29 of the Idaho state legislature, whose purpose is “to recognize and commend Jared and Jerusha Hess for their cinematic talents by which they have increased the nation’s awareness of Idaho.” The resolution states, among other things, that:
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!”
and further resolves:
that we, the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the State of Idaho, advocate always following your heart, and thus we eagerly await the next cinematic undertaking of Idaho’s Hess family.
This resolution passed. Of course. Congressmen do not want to be recognized by state or municipal authorities as “freakin’ idiots.” That’s obvious.
