PHOENIX (Reuters) - The cowboy now has a home on the range in Arizona.


Arizona Governor
Jan Brewer on Friday signed legislation creating an annual "National Day
of the Cowboy" to honor the Western state's "unique cowboy culture" and recognize its proper place in history.


"Many of the
blessings enjoyed by Arizonans today are because of the contributions of
our Keepers of the Range: The Arizona cowboy and cowgirl," Brewer, a Republican, said in a statement on Friday.


"These men and women - of all races and backgrounds - are among the truest symbols of the American southwest."


The cowboys will be honored every fourth Saturday in July. It will not be a paid legal holiday.


Arizona,
which last year celebrated its 100th anniversary, becomes the fourth
state in the nation to observe such a day, joining New Mexico, Wyoming
and California.

Jan Brewer may not be perfect, but she's so much better than what we're stuck with in Colorado, is there any way we could clone her??? sounds like a great idea to me!

True but don't forget we had to go through Calamity Jane Hull and Janet Napolitano to get to her. So you still have some hope.
