I saw this earlier and thought it referred to last week but thenRaw Story pointed to it and I realized that it is this week…Indeed Bush declared this week to beNational Character Counts Week
America’s strength is found in the spirit and character of our people. During National Character Counts Week, we renew our commitment to instilling values in our young people and to encouraging all Americans to remember the importance of good character.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 15 through October 21, 2006, as National Character Counts Week. I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, parents, students, and all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
So W signed the torture bill during National Character Counts Week. Ya can’t make this stuff up. I wonder what else he has planned for the week? Feel free to submit your ideas…
