Rams for Official Missouri NFL Team!

Representative Curt Dougherty has recently proposed that Budweiser be named the official state beer of Missouri. Some citizens have scoffed at the outrageous proposal and have argued that our legislature has more important things to do. Ah, contraire. The rubbish policy proposals coming out of Jefferson City have included mandates for ethanol use and recently, another mandate for biodiesel use. Both alternative fuels cause increased CO2 emissions and require that consumers pay more at the pump. I applaud Representative Dougherty and urge other Missouri senators and representatives to come up with their own proposals for official products. I propose that debate should begin on whether the Chiefs or the Rams would be best representative of an official Missouri NFL team. The ensuing debate would take much time and keep the policy-makers from "solving" any other problems.
