With eyes on the Cavs, Rep. Betty Sutton honored LeBron James, according to Cleveland.com:
...Federal recognition: Congresswoman Betty Sutton (D-Ohio) introduced a congressional resolution Thursday congratulating James for being named Most Valuable Player. James, who lives in Bath, is in Sutton's congressional district. Other Ohio congressional members Tim Ryan, Dennis Kucinich, Marcia Fudge, John Boccieri, Zach Space, Charlie Wilson and Mary Jo Kilroy co-sponsored the measure."LeBron James brings to our district not only nationwide attention, but also the very admirable qualities of hard work and dedication to his profession," Sutton said. "He and the Cavs give all Ohioans something to be proud of."
Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy's website:
Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy and President Barack Obama today announced that Ohio will receive more than $266 million to weatherize homes, save energy and create jobs. On Saturday, Kilroy went “on the job” with IMPACT Community Action to weatherize a Columbus home. IMPACT expects to create 30-40 jobs because of the recovery plan....
Other weatherization jobs with other agencies and organizations will be moving forward across the state. IMPACT is just one local group that will put people to work. Job seekers should continue to check classified ads and the business section of their newspaper for future expansion.

Yesterday as this news was being noted on TV, the person I was with and I chimed in at the same time with the following word to describe Joe the Plumber, "Idiot."
