Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!  But better make sure that’s the Queen’s English you’re speaking.  

Or, rather King’s:

Colorado Republican Congressmen Mike Coffman and Doug Lamborn have co-sponsored a bill that would make all federal government operations use English and require all people undergoing citizenship testing to demonstrate their ability to speak English.

..The English Language Unity Act of 2011, authored by Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King, was introduced by [court jester Michelle] Bachmann and 59 other Republicans last week.

So, I’m not sure which dialect they speak in Iowa, or Minnesota, or–for that matter–under a rock near NORAD, but you’d better brush up on it.

Glad to see that laser focus on (anything-but) jobs, guys.  That you are not letting an opportunity to be mean and divisive get derailed by a need to actually contribute some value.
