An Arkansas state representative filed a resolution Wednesday to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”

If approved, State Rep. Aaron Pilkington’s resolution would also require all state agencies to use the term “Gulf of America.”

The Republican, who represents parts of Johnson and Pope counties in northwest Arkansas, said renaming the gulf would “reinforce the role it plays in supporting the prosperity and security of the United States.”

      Just like with antibiotic overuse creating resistant bacteria, we’ve idiot-proofed things so well we have extremely virulent idiots.
