My first thought on reading the story was, "yeah, and that reporter is buying a bridge tomorrow." It's actually disheartening how quickly one will believe a story about an obviously stupid law getting passed if it is in one of several frequently-stereotyped states, when a more reasonable response to seeing the story would be, could the journalist be wrong (yet again)?
