Is Florida jealous because they don't have a state amphibian?

AP is reporting that the tree frog narrowly defeated Governor Perdue by a mere 2.5 votes.

sheesh, those liberals can't beat anybody.

[Balanchine]

MOTW, we do have a state amphibian. It is the personal injury lawyer.

I'm not really sure Georgia does have too much spare time - note that it's only Senate Bill #41. (And presumably one of the other 40 slightly more pressing issues was making grits an "official" Georgia symbol.)

[MaBensink]

What I would like to know, is why the bill did NOT pass the first two times? Did someone have a moral problem with making a frog the state amphibian, or perhaps those darn fourth graders were trying to attach a no homework amendment on to it.

[ErnieG]

Now that the State Amphibian issue is settled, what about State Roadkill? Possums? Armadillos? Toads?

[casey]

Rome? Why is Rome concerned with frogs in Georgia? Isn't there some kind of big bruhaha going on in Rome right now? I thought I heard some blurb on the news about it, I would think they should mind their own business and leave children of Georgia alone. Hell, those poor kids have enough to worry about...they live in GEORGIA!

Does Gov. Perdue think tree frogs test like chicken ?

[darthvader]

now all those kids have to do is wait for some a**hole judge to declare the frogs unconstitutional

I propose that I be nominated as the official Missouri State Bacteria.

Tree frogs don't go "ribbit". They make a noise like a greasy fart.

For years, whenever I fart, I blame it on tree frogs.

The students will take a bus from Rome to the State Capitol on Tuesday and then head to Fernbank for a tour of the frog exhibit and lunch.

[slyeyes]

Anyone else have an urge to pop that thing on the frog's throat?

And Missouri already has a state bacteria. It's called a "Blunt".

[U.O]

Hey Georgia!

Your tax dollars at work!

[daisyj]

I'm worried that this is going to set a dangerous precedent. What if fourth graders in other states decide that they should be making laws too? We could have nationwide anti-cootie laws and a constitutional amendment banning geeks from the 'popular' table.

[Weird Bill]

I wanted to make a really smart comment of some kind about the news article, but I just ain't got th' werds.

Hail, down here in Flerida we *eats* dem frog laigs. If ya'll see a frog dat ain't movin, it's cause we dun cut off its laigs and et 'em! Man, dem guyz in Gergia shure are dum!

In other news, Jeb Bush sends the Health and Human Services squad to seize the dying frogs and place them on life support.
