No More Lunatics in Government

Still plenty of psychopaths though.

Measure to ban ‘lunatic’ from US law passes House

WASHINGTON — The word ‘‘lunatic’’ will be stricken from federal law under legislation that passed the House Wednesday and is headed to President Obama for his signature.

The congressional action is the latest effort to remove language from the US code that has become outdated or demeaning. Two years ago Congress took out references in federal law to the term ‘‘mental retardation.’’

The measure passed in the Senate in May, sponsored by senators Kent Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, and Mike Crapo, Republican from Idaho."
