'I'd like to present this crazy-assed bill to ..." |
We know our story well by now, but what about elsewhere? Let's take Indiana as an example. It is run by Repubs who seem to see so few problems among Hoosiers and their economy, infrastructure, unemployment levels and the like that they apparently think they need to create some friction. Here's a look at a bit of what they've done:
- Called for an investigation of the Girl Scouts, a "radical institution." (I'll do the cookies column later--the one where I say that Girl Scout cookies offer girls lessons in how to get somebody else to do your work, how to support overpriced institutions with sub-par products and how to beg for money).
- Geared up the creationism debate.
- Sen. Vaneta Becker (R-Evansville) proposed standards for performing the national anthem (which would eliminate virtually all ballpark versions, I'd assume). The Scribe says it would work this way: "The law would ... require that schools keep recordings of every performance for two years, and calls for the establishment of an office to deal with complaints regarding the national anthem."
- Called for opening the state high school basketball tournament up to all-comers (so they can re-live the movie "Hoosiers," ostensibly).
- Offered up a bill that would require cursive writing in schools.
- Presented a bill to put the entire state on Central Standard Time.
