About the pens - the tradition is to give one of them to each of the co-sponsors of the bill. However, Pres. Bush uses one pen, then hands out the rest of the commemorative pens, as a symbolic gesture. Unlike x42, he refuses to write one letter at a time with a different pen. He just signs it, and hands out the pens. I suppose the person who gets THE pen that the President actually signed, feels they've gotten something special.

And that the rest of the story.

President Bush usually scoops up the pens on the table with the one he used and mixes them up in his hand brfore he hands them out - no hard feelings as The Pen is anonymous.
