Thomas Burch is looking out for you. He’s going to take on the scourge of the high seas that continues to plague Kentucky. Riverboat Casinos. And he’s going to use all weapons at his disposal .
No, better yet, here’s what’s in the attached .DOC file …
A RESOLUTION encouraging the purchase and vigorous use of the USS Louisville 688 VLS Class submarine.
WHEREAS, in the past few years the scourge of the casino riverboat has been an increasingly significant presence on the Ohio River; and
WHEREAS, the Ohio River borders the Commonwealth of Kentucky; and
WHEREAS, the siren song of payola issuing from the discordant calliopes of these gambling vessels has led thousands of Kentucky citizens to vast disappointment and woe; and
WHEREAS, no good can come to the citizens of Kentucky hypnotized from the siren song issuing from these casino riverboats, the engines of which are fired by the hard-earned dollars lost from Kentucky citizens;
NOW, THEREFORE,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:
Section 1. The House of Representatives does hereby encourage the formation of the Kentucky Navy and subsequently immediately encourages the purchase and armament of one particularly effective submarine, namely, the USS Louisville 688 VLS Class Submarine, to patrol the portion of the Ohio River under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth to engage and destroy any casino riverboats that the submarine may encounter.
Section 2. The House of Representatives does hereby authorize the notification of the casino riverboat consulate of this Resolution and impending whoopin’ so that they may remove their casino vessels to friendlier waters.
Mr. Burch must either have a wonderfully wicked sense of humor, or is completely insane.
It’s not even like he’s asking for one of the older diesel powered subs, some of which might possibly be purchased with a state government’s budget - he thinks they need a state-of-the-art 688 nuclear attack sub.
People say that I don’t post here often enough. I just needed a good reason to post something. Now, I’ve found one.
Actually, you’ve found two. You just don’t want to take credit for the other one.
I thought that you “damn the torpedos” not “man the torpedos”.
Well, I don’t like to cuss.
Found two what? A second crazy state legislature?
Well, no I haven’t Karl , but I’m still looking.
I’m sure there are more than one crazy state legislature, but I was talking about reasons to post here.
nah, can’t think of a reason to post here.
maybe later.
gotta run!.
reads over and laughs
Hey, someone in politics with a sense of humor! (Or at least I hope this is the case, and this piece of legislation isn’t meant to be serious…)
Hey, wonder who gets salvage rights…
<< Beep-beep! >>
Reminds me of the 1966 Batman movie quote:
