illiterate lawmakers
Through the Associated Press, CNN.com reports that West Virginian lawmakers have made English the official language of the state without proper awareness: "The language amendment was quietly inserted into a bill addressing the number of members that cities can appoint to boards of parks and recreation."
However, the amendment clearly states that "English shall be the official language of the State of West Virginia."
Now tell me, what is so QUIET about this? This is clear as day. Did the lawmakers even read the proposed law?
Maybe once the AP reporter gets around to it, he'll notice another "hidden" provision: Those who speak English with a foreign accent [domestic accents are encouraged] will be stoned. W. Va. Code Section 4942.1(b) (2005).
