Planning ahead in Wyoming has, perhaps, jumped the shark:

On Friday, the Wyoming House of Representatives advanced a bill to set up a task force to prepare for the total economic and political collapse of the United States. Per the bill, the panel would investigate things like food storage options and metals-based currencies, to be implemented in the event of a major catastrophe.

Then it goes three steps further. An amendment by GOP state Rep. Kermit Brown*, calls on the task force to examine "Conditions under which the state of Wyoming should implement a draft, raise a standing army, marine corps, navy and air force and acquire strike aircraft and an aircraft carrier." As the bill's GOP sponsor, state Rep. David Miller, explained to the Casper Star-Tribune, "Things happen quickly sometimes."

MoJo Update
Update: A little Internet scrutiny goes a long way, apparently: The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that the aircraft provision has been scrapped. We take full credit. Details here.

Where exactly do you put an aircraft carrier in Wyoming? Jenny Lake?

I thought Ayn Rand's book involved Montana, not Wyoming. Weird.

I'm flying to Wyoming in the morning. will be there til Thursday. I'll ask around about this. btw, Wyoming was the first state to give women the vote, the first to have a female governor and the fist female on a jury. the state dinosaur is the triceratops. the state motto is EQUAL RIGHTS.

Wow, Yellowstone Lake is only 7,733 ft. above sea level.

Gives the phrase "on the high seas" a whole new meaning.

I love Wyoming; I went to high school there; I have part of an old homestead there: but those people are nuts.

Where men are men,
Women and few,
And sheep are nervous.

Wyoming

Is just a few hours from SFO
Where men are women
And women are men
And sheep in Wyoming are dancing
