Could Our Government Be Any More Lame?

Talk about wasting time and money.

From Finally Some Meaningful Legislation:

Bush just signed into law a bill to encourage flying the flag on Father's Day. Never mind why it should be Father's Day - I think we can all get the picture on that. But, WTF? Laws are meant to insist, not "encourage", aren't they?

They've been at this one for a while. It appears it was put up for bid at least a year ago. Could Congress have possibly wasted any time more valuable than we have been living through these past years when serious issues have been bombarding us right and left?
