A lot of people are pissed off that the Illinois legislature declared Pluto a planet as it passes over Illinois night skies. I personally think it’s hilarious. If you’re going to be a nanny government, you might as well as name the planets.

I personally think that they have just as much right as the IAU to declare that pluto is not a planet.

RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that as Pluto passes overhead through Illinois’ night skies, that it be reestablished with full planetary status, and that March 13, 2009 be declared “Pluto Day” in the State of Illinois in honor of the date its discovery was announced in 1930.
