City Councilman Resigns Using Klingon 135
Virtucon writes "A city councilman in Indian Trail Town, North Carolina has resigned and opted to write his letter of resignation in Klingon. David Waddell is obviously a fan of Star Trek. I wonder if the other council members know what the hell he wrote? I'm sure a nice Qu'vatlh would have sufficed."

OK, so the guy resigned in Klingon - probably before his local constituency voted him out. However, if he'd run and won using Klingon, that would be news.
Seriously, if you're going to learn a language, why not Spanish or Chinese something else you can use to communicate with and represent real people with real problems. (If you're a politician, that's really your only job.)

If people can conduct public business in Spanish, he can do it in Klingon. If you don't like it, I urge you to support measures to make English the only legal language for official use in the country.

He's not republican.
This guy is "constitution party" which is, essentially, a group of people who think the following:
A. The republican party isn't "conservative enough"
B. Why haven't we established a theocracy that forbids everything but evangelical Christianity yet?
C. B is the true meaning of the constitution.
