Government waste #4080

You gotta be shitting me...

The Fluffernutter, once defamed by a state legislator, could soon become the official sandwich of Massachusetts.

[....]

The sandwich is one of three foods that a legislative committee will consider for official state status tomorrow. The others are Necco Wafers, for official state candy, and Charleston Chew, for candy bar.

“A lot of these bills are filed by school groups,’’ said Lainey Titus, chief of staff for Representative Steven M. Walsh of Lynn, cochairman of the Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight, which is holding the hearing. “In general, a couple of these sometimes go through every year.’’

The committee will also hear requests to designate the elephant as the official state mammal, “Fever Pitch’’ as the official state movie, and 6 as the official state number.

Nothing important to do, like healthcare reform or ACORN-busting or picking a replacement senator? Massachusetts, here's your sign. P.S.: Marshmallow creme is as disgusting as Miracle Whip.
