I second that!

And how about the garden slug as the official state gastropod? It's also slow, and leaves a mess wherever it's been.

How about Porky Pig?

Since he caught the SWINE FLU and died, couldn't we chop him into chops and sell those?

We elect these freeloaders who think that they are important.

I think the answer to this whole elected-official problem can come from the private sector: ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEWS.

You and I, and everyone that works for a (non-Union) living endures annual performance reviews. One bad one, and you get put on "probation" of sorts. Two bad reviews and you're OUT, because PA is an "At Will" employment state.

No more Carte Blanche to elected officials - anywhere.

This is a positive move by our law makers. I promised that every household would get a huge tax rebate from the casino profits and state animals would be named. I have fulfilled my campaign promises.
