In true Simpsons fashion, Oregon Congressman Peter DeFazio is "having a cow" his homestate wasn't chosen to host the premiere of the new Simpsons movie.

The honor instead went to Springfield, Vermont. DeFazio's office has now sent a spoof letter to U-S Attorney General Alberto Gonzales asking him to investigate.

The letter says, unless they passed a law giving cows the right to vote, this must be election fraud. He also says it highlights the need for electronic voting. The letter ends with the Ned Flanders line, "Okili-Dokily!"
