I just about fell off my chair when I saw the following:
"The Senate approved today house bill 3453 which made the garter snake the official reptile of Massachusetts."
Wow!
Now that is something that I need my elected officials spending time on....no we don't have a problem funding our school systems, or, or, universal health care funding...or, or, I don't know something other than this must be more important.

Update: Here is the article about the introduction of the bill.
Update:Apparently exiting governor Mitt Romney signed it into law January 2007.
