Steve Holland introduces bill to rename Gulf of Mexico

Riding upon a chariot of Hummers driven by bald eagles, Mississippi Rep. Steve Holland filed a guns blazing cowboy steak of a bill, proudly waving our nation's red, white and God-fearing blue to protect our American coastal waters. This week, Holland introduced H.B. 150 to Mississippi's House of Representatives Marine Resources Committee — a bill that, in summary, would "for all official purposes" rename the Gulf of Mexico (or "body of water south of Mississippi") the "Gulf of America."

"For all official purposes within the State of Mississippi, the body of water that is located directly south of Hancock, Harrison and Jackson Counties shall be known as the "Gulf of America." ... This act shall take effect and be in force from and after July 1, 2012."

Perfect.

Protecting our waters

As long as I don't have to shoot any bald eagles to make the beaches safe for my family to vacation, fuck it, call it the Gulf of Failure or The Pleasure Dome for all I care.

I think it is funny that the Latino GOP group is all up in arms over this because the bill is a big joke directed at anti-immigration Republicans.
The GOP are just pissed that they didn't think of it under Dubya's watch.

I propose renaming it "God's Urinal."

Gulf of Exxon Mobil

that guy looks exactly like someone who would introduce something like this SHOULD look.

haha
