This is how Congress works, too.  
I have no date associated with this story, but I remember reading it
in the newspaper years ago....

Representative Tim Moore sponsored a resolution in the Texas House of
Representatives in Austin, Texas calling on the House to commend
Albert de Salvo for his unselfish service to "his country, his state
and his community."
     The resolution stated that "this compassionate gentleman's
dedication and devotion to his work has enabled the weak and the
lonely throughout the nation to achieve and maintain a new degree of
concern for their future.  He has been officially recognized by the
state of Massachusetts for his noted activities and unconventional
techniques involving population control and applied psychology."
     The resolutiobn was passed unanimously.
     Representative Moore then revealed that he had only tabled the
motion to show how the legislature passes bills and resolutions often
without reading them or understanding what they say.  Albert de Salvo
was the Boston Strangler.
