Are they also going to designate an official state long distance carrier or car model or homebuilder? What kind of rampant commercialism is that?

LD Carrier - Hemp twine with Bush Baked Bean cans on each end
Car - Flatbed Ford, not later than 1966 model year
Homebuilder- Any one that has wheels on the assembly line

Coming soon, to a state near you...

"Winston: The official state cigarette of North Carolina"
"Skoal: The official state chewing tobacco of West Virginia"
"Smith & Wesson: The official state handgun of California"
"Depends: The official state adult diaper of Florida"

Then again, Pennsylvania has "Quaker State" and "PENNzoil"...

It's good to know most of us pay taxes so they can vote on this [censored]. It is as important to us as a society as those government tests on the flow rate of ketchup.

I'm sorry. Skoal is snuff, not chewing tobacco. Red Man is chewing tobacco.

Er, okay. I can't say I've done a lot of resarch on the subject.

One of the congressmen referred to the document as a resolution... If this is a non-binding resolution (which I hope it is), its a lot like the thousands of silly resolutions that cross the chairpersons' desks of every state. But I don't think that a non-binding resolution could actually include such a symbol into the state collection of symbols. Either the congressman used the wrong word or the article is misleading.

...or the article is misleading

That'd be a first!!!

I can't say I've done a lot of resarch on the subject.

Judging by the above, I'd say chew/snuff isn't the only thing you haven't done a lot of research on.

Good god, it was a typo. Even Bitt cut me some slack on that one.

Yeah, I know. I just found it funny that the typo was in research.

Umm... hmm... not so funny now. It was late?
