Via commentor EFGoldman, news from North Carolina:
An Indian Trail councilman decided to boldly go where no politician has gone before — and tendered his resignation this week in the Klingon language.
Apparently David Waddell no longer wanted to live long and prosper on the board…
Waddell, a plumber, said he thought he would be more effective by coming to board meetings as a citizen and speaking out on issues. He said he also needed to devote time to mount a write-in campaign on the Constitution Party’s platform for Kay Hagan’s U.S. Senate seat…
I’m thinking Sen. Hagan’s campaign staff is busy researching how many fanfic YouTubes they can use before running afoul of Paramount and the copyright laws. Full Klingon resignation letter at the link, if anyone wants to pull a Garry Wills and criticize his grammar…

Apart from pointing & mocking (“Same thing we do every night, Pinkie!”), what’s on the agenda for the evening?
ETA: Commentary from an expert…

Does Klingon culture even recognise the concept of “formal resignation letter”? What is wrong with leaping to one’s feet in the middle of a board meeting, bellowing something about one’s honour, and attacking all the other members simultaneously with a broken chairleg?This has always worked for me.
