Frank Buckles, Top 10 in THOMAS, Another semi-pseudonymous Sarah profile

An era of American history has partially come to an end. Frank Buckles, the last known surviving US veteran of WWI, passed away yesterday.



Top ten legislative items searched on THOMAS, compiled on 2/13/2011 from weekly usage statistics


  1. H.R. 1 - [112th] - Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011
  2. H.R. 514 - [112th] - FISA Sunsets Extension Act of 2011
  3. H.R. 3590 - [111th] - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
  4. H.R. 3 - [112th] - No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act
  5. H.R. 3082 - [111th] - Continuing Appropriations and Surface Transportation Extensions Act, 2011
  6. H.R. 1 - [111th] - American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
  7. H.R. 4173 - [111th] - Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
  8. H.R. 2 - [112th] - Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act

  10. H.R. 3200 - [111th] - America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009

It probably won't be up much longer, but it seems that a certain ex-Alaska governor has a need for a semi-pseudonymous profile on twitter.com. Earth-shattering? Not really. Slightly odd? If truly created by her (this profile was discovered by searching twitter.com for her personal Gmail address), then it is indeed:

a) Hopefully not supposed to borrow its name from Mount McKinley (vice mckinely)
b) Yes, very strange
