Okay, so let’s do some math.  How many people live in Wyoming?  550,000 give or take a few lost hikers and a couple of folks from Nebraska who hate corn?  By comparison, Houston has a population of 2.1 million.

So, I understand that with that small population pool, it’s gotta be difficult to find 90 sane people in Wyoming to serve in the State House and Senate.  Honestly, Houston has trouble finding that many sane people to serve on city council and lately they’ve been missing a few in their quest, too.

So, when Wyoming decided that they needed a Doomsday Plan, they should have gone sanity hunting instead.  No, seriously.

The task force would look at the feasibility of Wyoming issuing its own alternative currency, if needed. And House members approved an amendment Friday by state Rep. Kermit Brown, R-Laramie, to have the task force also examine conditions under which Wyoming would need to implement its own military draft, raise a standing army, and acquire strike aircraft and an aircraft carrier.

Uh, I checked a map of Wyoming.  Just to see if they moved it.  You know, that could happen.  Wyoming is 96% white people and you know how white people are always moving crap around.

Nope, it appears pretty much landlocked.  I don’t know where the aircraft carrier would go, but unless they know something about Oregon and Idaho that they aren’t tellin’,  it appears they have taken leave of their senses.

I don’t suppose that I need to tell you that Republicans have held the state house and senate in Wyoming since 1964.

“I don’t think there’s anyone in this room today what would come up here and say that this country is in good shape, that the world is stable and in good shape — because that is clearly not the case,” state Rep. Lorraine Quarberg, R-Thermopolis, said. “To put your head in the sand and think that nothing bad’s going to happen, and that we have no obligation to the citizens of the state of Wyoming to at least have the discussion, is not healthy.”

Good Lord, woman, we have a black President and it appears he’s going to be re-elected.  Get over it.  It’s not like 9-11 happened on his shift or he declared war on two countries with no way to pay for it.  Are y’all going to hire Dick Cheney as your Secretary of Defense?  I hear he’s looking for work.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads-up.
