Shocker: Tennessee legislature wastes its time (again)

Via The Tennessean:
A resolution to honor the late pop superstar Michael Jackson has passed the Tennessee House with only one vote to spare.

The resolution sponsored by Democratic Rep. G. A. Hardaway of Memphis passed Wednesday on a vote of 51-22. Measures need at least 50 votes to pass the 99-member chamber.

Another 24 lawmakers abstained.
Whether it's apologizing for things 150 years too late or honoring an intern's college graduation, you can always expect the Tennessee legislature to spend time on things that really matter.

Did I mention that in a republic, we get the government we deserve?
