Arkansas Governor Signs Controversial Bill

In what many in the Midwest have called "modernism gone wrong", Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee signed into law a bill which legally forces all Arkansas citizens to acknowledge the existence of the 20th century. Huckabee signed the bill after discovering that, through a series of clerical errors, the entire state of Arkansas had been accidental stuck in 1858. Another bill currently in the Arkansas Legislature would legalize the 21st century as well. Though states such as Kansas have accepted the passage of time all the way up to 1922, only Michigan, and now Arkansas, have acknowledged the 20th century in its entirety.
