Some good news for figure skating fans
Tanith Belbin and Benjamin Agosto are a US ice dancing team that is quite talented , in fact they are they reigning national champions and won silver at the World Figure Skating Championship* this past year . In 02 they qualified for the Olympic games but Belbin had not received her US citizenship yet . ( She's from Canada originally ) For awhile it looked like she was going to miss the Olympic games this coming Febuary as well ( her citizenship was supposed to come through sometime later this year )
But a senator made a bill that would allow her to go and George Bush signed it a few days ago ( GO BUSH !!!) so now , providing Belbin and Agosto qualify at the US Nationals , they can go to the Olympics representing our country :D . It turns out the bill also benefitted another ice dancing team . I had been hoping for Belbin's citizenship to go through because she and Agosto are a great ice dancing team and the USA's best hope for a Olympic medal in ice dancing and they are very pleasant to watch :D.

Here is the article on USFigureskating.org that gives more information on this event
