Indiana Defines Stupidity as Religion

By Andy Borowitz, The New Yorker
27 March 15
 
The article below is satire. Andy Borowitz is an American comedian and New York Times-bestselling author who satirizes the news for his column, "The Borowitz Report."

n a history-making decision, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana has signed into law a bill that officially recognizes stupidity as a religion.
Pence said that he hoped the law would protect millions of state residents “who, like me, have been practicing this religion passionately for years.”
The bill would grant politicians like Pence the right to observe their faith freely, even if their practice of stupidity costs the state billions of dollars.
While Pence’s action drew the praise of stupid people across America, former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer was not among them. “Even I wasn’t dumb enough to sign a bill like that,” she said.
 
I AM ALMOST RELIEVED THAT THIS IS NOT SO FUNNY AS SOME -
EXTREME LAUGHTER CAN KEEP ONE FROM BREATHING!
AND DO NOT FORGET !
KURT VONNEGUT (FUNNY GUT) IS A HOOSIER !
SO PLEASE DO NOT SAY INDIANA IS STUPID !
I THINK IT IS THE GOVERNOR THAT IS STUPID -
NOT THE STATE ----STUPID--
NOT THAT I THINK ANDY IS STUPID -
OR IF HE IS HE IS A HERO ANYWAY -
BUT NAME CALLING IS SLIGHTLY STUPID-
THANK YOU RSN

Why the hell are you YELLING?
It takes all tone out of whatever you're trying to express.
