Idaho Loves Them Some Napoleon Dynamite

And Greg Storey now loves Idaho. Greg posted on Airbag about how the House of Representatives of Idaho passed a Resolution that uses phrases from Napoleon Dynamite. This is honestly the funniest piece of government work I've ever seen. Greg does a much better job of telling breaking down the Napoleon / Idaho connection so here are a few excerpts from his piece.

I've always liked Idaho and now I like it even more. The 58th Idaho Legislature House of Representatives and the Senate recently passed House Concurrent Resolution 29 that includes clauses such as the following:

"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!"

The suits in Boise — for you American school children that's state capital of Idaho — took the time to commend Jared and Jerusha Hess and the city of Preston for their movie Napoleon Dynamite. I dare say you will have a hard time finding another resolution anywhere that includes words like "chickens with talons", "Tina the Llama", and "Kip's relationship with LaFawnduh."
