Idaho State Legislature Commends Napoleon Dynamite

Full Text of Resolution to Commend Napoleon Dynamite

Passed unanimously on 4/6/05. I thought maybe it was an April Fool's joke with lines like:

"WHEREAS, tater tots figure prominently in this film thus promoting Idaho'smost famous export"
"Napoleon's artistic rendition of Trisha is an example of the importance of the visual arts in K-12 education"
and
"WHEREAS, any members of the House of Representatives or the Senate of the Legislature of the State of Idaho who choose to vote "Nay" on this concurrent resolution are "FREAKIN' IDIOTS!" and run the risk of having the "Worst Day of Their Lives!"

I did a little digging (googled for the official site of the State of Idaho, then followed links to government, legislature, and legislation) and it looks legit. Read the whole bill. It's almost as funny as the movie.
