On the flock of Byrds

The Kingsport paper (registration required), saying here that the Senator Byrd is not one to cast the first stone on wasteful government spending, cites the following edifices in West Virginia:

"Over the years, Sen. Byrd's home state of West Virginia has become the repository of the Robert C. Byrd Federal Building, The Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam, the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center, the Robert C. Byrd Library, The Robert C. Byrd Technology Center, The Robert C. Byrd Hardwood Technologies Center, The Robert C. Byrd Community Center at the Sugar Grove Naval Station, the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, the Robert C. Byrd Expressway, the Robert C. Byrd Visitor Center at Harpers Ferry National Park, the Robert C. Byrd Clinic at the VA in Huntingon, the Robert C. Byrd Industrial Park, the Robert C. Byrd Learning Resource Center, the Robert C. Byrd Cancer Research Center, the Robert C. Byrd Hilltop Office Complex, the Robert C. Byrd Rural Health Center, the Robert C. Byrd United Technical Center, the Robert C. Byrd Community Center in Pine Grove, the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing, the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse, the Robert C. Byrd addition to the Oglebay Park lodge, the Robert C. Byrd Institute in Charleston, the Robert C. Byrd Academic and Technology Center, the Robert C. Byrd Bridge, the Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarships ... well, we could go on, but space is limited."
