Completing one of the more curious things the Legislature accomplished this year, Gov. Jon Huntsman signed into law* House Concurrent Resolution 2, declaring Feb. 6, 2008 to be Ronald Reagan Day in the state of Utah and "to encourage Utahns to participate in its observance."

Note: 02/02/2008 is long passed and the resolution fails to call for an annual observance of RR Day. So, short of Superman flying around the earth to reverse its spin and turn back time — I'm not sure what we can do for the Gipper.

Maybe celebrate St. Patrick's day again? To the Gipper!

By the way, part of the reason the bill was delayed was to amend it to have a copy sent to Nancy Reagan, who I'm sure will be touched that Utah never observed the day they retroactively set aside to observe in her husband's honor.

*Actually, Huntsman signed HCR2 yesterday, but I got into the swing of things and wanted to be a day late in blogging on it.
