Okay, everyone else has been pointing to it, so should I: California HR 36 Assembly House Resolution: Relative to Pluto's planetary status. Among other things:

WHEREAS, The deletion of Pluto as a planet is a hasty, ill-considered scientific heresy similar to questioning the Copernican theory, drawing maps of a round world, and proving the existence of the time and space continuum; and

WHEREAS, The downgrading of Pluto reduces the number of planets available for legislative leaders to hide redistricting legislation and other inconvenient political reform measures; and

Worth reading. Thanks to Brainwagon (entry here) and More Like This (entry here).
