The Important Work of Our Congress
While looking up some more some recent congressional activity, I came across this little gem. I tell you, I'm so glad that our elected officials are so busy making the lives of Americans better. I mean ... how would we have gotten by without this one?
Recognizing the 70th anniversary of the Idaho Potato Commission and expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that an Idaho Potato Month should be established.
To spare you the reading, I'll hit the highlight:
"Whereas the State of Idaho's unique climate of warm days, cool nights, mountain-fed irrigation, and rich volcanic soil is conducive to growing world-renowned potatoes;
Whereas Idaho potatoes are top-selling and highly recognized potatoes in the United States due to their consistently great taste, versatility, and nutritional content;"
Wow. If you're curious, I came upon that while looking up stuff relating to a new executive order providing for the continuation of government in the case of emergencies. It got a lot of press on digg.com (a social news site), so I decided to check it out myself.
