The House Honors Tony Stewart. WHAT THE...

Motorsport.com Capitol reward: Tony Stewart honored by U. S. House of Representatives Congressional corps sponsors resolution hailing NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Champion DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Dec 15, 2005) -- During the past few weeks, Tony Stewart (No. 20 Home Depot Chevrolet) has been honored by many groups for winning his second career NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series title. But as satisfying as those acknowledgements are, none had been written into law -- yet. That changed Wednesday, when the U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution from U.S. Rep. Mike Sodrel of Indiana recognizing Stewart for his 2005 championship. Sodrel, who sponsored the resolution, was joined by other members of the Indiana delegation -- Reps. Mike Pence, Dan Burton, Mark Soder, John Hostettler and Julia Carson -- as co-sponsors. House Resolution 587 passed unanimously. It's good to know that the House has taken care of all our problems and can now pass meaningless resolutions like this one. You go House of Representatives, don't be afraid to waste taxpayers money and voters dreams of a better US.
