But in all fairness, my vote was mistakenly cast in my absence by my assistant  Trisha Bleachly, or I would have cast my vote before I was for the bill I was once against and I have been consistently for over the last session and I regret the confusion of my views caused by Miss Bleachly who knew my position against this bill that I was against consistently and well as for before I was ...

My very own award, soon to be coveted; or ignored; or despised.

It will be awarded(?) from time to time to anyone I deem worthy  for

 reasons of my own. There are no requirements whatsoever.

You might, if you like, write an acknowledgement or a decline of award

 statement, or nothing at all, if you prefer. The first recipient of the

Award is my friend, Gary Phillip Pennick of "Klahanie. blogspot.com"

for being Gary, a good friend!

Huzzah!
