Complete Idiocy

West Virginia's General Assembly is making great strides in making themselves the laughing stock of America.

West Virginina State Sen. Erik Wells has introduced a bill to yank your driver's license if your kid misses 10 or more days of school. You'd get a warning after the fifth unexcused absence.

You don't lose all your driving privileges. You can still drive to work, to school, to the store, but you just can't drive any damn place you please. You see, you will be issued a "provisional license".

Just try to imagine the nightmare of police interference, the road blocks, the spot check spots on the highways, the manpower and paperwork needed to establish if a car - any car - on the freeway has a properly licensed driver or not, and whether that driver is out just joy-riding around.

Maybe they'll just paint a big scarlet "P" on your trunk. Or make you put a special florescent red license plate on your car.

No matter what they do with drivers, it won't solve their truancy problem.

But that ain't all, folks....

This doofus wants to punish perpetually absent kids by forcing them to lose their ability to participate in band, play sports or enjoy other extracurricular activities. That'll really help... make school even less appealing. What an ass.

Said West Virginia State Senator Erik Wells:

There needs to be some consequences.

West Virginia's General Assembly has more genius ideas, like adding five to 10 minutes to the school day. Lawmakers say this will impress upon parents the importance of education. I wish I had the name of the idiot that came up with that.

Speaking of consequences, idiots like this State Senator is a consequence of allowing uneducated morons to vote in general elections.

If anything, West Virginia Senator Erik Wells is a poster child for why voters need to pass some sort of government and political knowledge test before being allowed to elect their "leaders".

If idiots vote, idiots rule.
