109th Congress a success at naming buildings (http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politicalticker/2006/12/109th-congress-success-at-n)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Despite criticism for adjourning last week without acting on several major legislative initiatives, members of Congress can boast significant achievements in at least one area of federal lawmaking -- naming post offices.
Of the 383 pieces of legislation that were signed into law during the two-year 109th Congress, more than one-quarter dealt with naming or renaming federal buildings and structures -- primarily post offices -- after various Americans.

Hey, nothing wrong with naming post offices after Americans. I’m all for it. But we’ve had troops fighting and dying half-way around the world for the past three years. This, along with the revelation that they only worked one and two half days a week really pisses me off.
