INDIANAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—In 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.
[Well I hope the NCAA has the balls to move the Final Four out of the state of Indiana come April 4th. Within hours of Pence signing the Religious Freedom Act, Gen Con, Disciples of Christ and Salesforce who previously held conventions in Indiana said they would no longer to so. Only RELIGION could pass a law removing freedom from a sub set of people and call it a Freedom Act. Bigotry just for the sake of Bigotry.]
