Each and every year, the president of the United States takes a little ride down Pennsylvania Avenue and gives a long, boring speech that's supposed to encompass everything that's going on in the country to a Congress that seemingly uses it as a chance to get autographs from the Leader of the Free World and hone their standing-ovation skills. And so it was that last night President George W. Bush journeyed to Capitol Hill to waste an hour of everyone's collective time for the last time in his presidency.
And what an absolute waste of time it was!
