On a Strange News Day

The news from Tennessee gets my unintended comedy award.

Bill sponsor Councilman Eric Crafton and his supporters said the change offers an incentive for immigrants to learn English.

"This bill says we'll simply do the governmental business in English," Crafton said. "If we shouldn't do it in English, I'd like for somebody else to stand up and tell us what language we should conduct our business in."

Well, Mr. Crafton, I'll stand up. English would be an excellent choice, far better than whatever language it is that you are speaking.
