City Councilman Resigns Using Klingon

Posted by Soulskill on from the taH-pagh-taHbeâ€(TM) dept.

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.)

    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.
