last year, while i was still peacefully residing in the far-away land of kentucky, apparently i missed how efficient the arkansas legislature is. while people are going without healthcare and gas is $4 a gallon, arkansas house majority leader rep. steve harrelson was filing a resolution to require the state of arkansas to alter its apostrophe usage.

arkansas’=wrong
arkansas’s=correct

according to steve harrelson.

throw out your second grade grammar lesson. rep. steve harrelson says that we need to use an “‘s” instead of just and ” ‘ “. it’s good to see our tax dollars are going to such good use.

it’s also good to see that arkansas is defying grammatical laws. all we need is just one more thing to make fun of us about. next thing you know, there will be a resolution requiring all arkansans to walk around in overalls, no shoes and a piece of hay hanging out of our mouths. maybe they’ll even throw in a mandatory state-sanctioned moment of silence and reflection each evening for the passing of buddy ebsen, who played jed clampett on the beverly hillbillies…

gee…
