| When I first saw your thread I thought for a moment perhaps he moved to Iran.  All joking aside I am glad to see they got the recognition they deserve.

| I was hoping he'd go hunting with Dick Cheney.... but still, long overdue recognition to the WASPs.

| Rarely, he does something right. If I'm pleased with one of his decisions, I email him and let him know. I also email him when I'm not pleased, which is quite a bit.

| What else was attached on this bill? I know he didn't sign it just for their recognition! EDIT: I guess he did. I looked it up and nothing was attached. I'm glad he signed it. They needed recognition a long time ago!
