Always willing to help...

Regarding King's Post of silly bills that the Minnesota Democrats have brought forth, this one especially caught my eye:
H.F. No. 1385, as introduced - 85th Legislative Session) Posted on Feb 23, 2007
1.1A bill for an act
1.2relating to state government; creating a task force to study the design of the
1.3state flag.
1.4BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

1.5 Section 1. LEGISLATIVE TASK FORCE ON DESIGN OF STATE FLAG.
1.6 Subdivision 1. Establishment. The legislative task force on the design of the
1.7state flag consists of three members of the senate appointed by the Subcommittee on
1.8Committees of the Committee on Rules and Administration, and three members of the
1.9house of representatives appointed by the speaker.
1.10 Subd. 2. Form and style of state flag. The task force shall study the form, style,
1.11and design of the state flag and suggest any desired changes, while preserving its basic
1.12symbolism. The task force may solicit and secure the voluntary service and aid of persons
1.13who have either technical or artistic skill in flag construction and design.
1.14 Subd. 3. Report; expiration. The task force shall make its report and
1.15recommendations to the legislature by January 15, 2008. The task force expires after
1.16submitting the report.
Well, fear not, Minnesota-legislators-with-nothing-better-to-do-than-to-think-of- new-ways-to-raise-our-taxes. For I have come up with a solution that will render the money spent on the above-mentioned task force un-necessary and will serve to save the Minnesota taxpayers tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Yes, as a public service, the crack staff (or is that the staff on crack) at The Ice Palace has worked countless hours minutes to come up with a flag design that the democrat majorities in the Minnesota House and Senate would immediately adopt.

For your consideration, I hereby present The new Minnesota State Flag:

(drumroll please)
