Highlights of Bush's State of the Union speech tonight.....
1. Democrats will bloat economic stimulus and delay helping revive the economy. (even though the soonest the checks will go out is late May and the whole thing is a joke...won't do shit.)
2. Must stay vigilant against Iran. (even though there is no proof they are building nuclear weapons.)
3. The Surge worked, violence is down in Iraq. (even though that has more to do with al-Sadr's militia honoring a cease-fire than with more US troops in Iraq.)
4. Must have the 2001-2003 tax cuts made permanent instead of expiring in 2010 as planned. (even though this will further increase the national debt and further widen the gap between the wealthy and the rest of America.)
5. Congress must vote to keep the domestic wiretapping program going (even though it allows tapping US citizens w/o a warrant.)


I guess that's probably going to be the Top 5.

2. Sounds like it will be riveting.
I mustn't miss this! Our beloved war Preznit will be making his last SOTU speech. I'm sure he will be eloquent, as usual, and bring tears to our eyes with his powerful, heartfelt words. HAHAHAHAHAHA! I tempt the gods.

3. The nation is strong, dems need to stop being devisive, Iraq is good
Afghanistan is good. Stimulus package, oh and the Surge(tm), worked/will work. Everything changed after 9/11 and we all need to watch our coin purses. Conserve, help the nation, work with your government. We know best, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Okay, I have nothing...

4. don't forget
he always highlights things he didn't do, like he did them. So he'll slap his back on alternative energy, mission to mars, health care reform, social security reform, education reform, climate change... has any president talked up program he doesn't do more than Bush?

5. Don't forget we need to spend, spend, spend our way out of this recession
Shop till ya drop. Buy all those Chinese lead lined toys, antifreeze enhanced tooth paste and e.coli fortified foods. Lets show those Democrats how to ruin..., err, run an expanding economy.

7. At 9:00 get up from your chair and go out to the car
and honk your horn. It would be real interesting if everyone could send a message via Morse Code: SOS
I used to know but have now forgotten was it dit-dit-dit dash-dash-dash dit-dit-dit, or was it dash-dash-dash dit-dit-dit dash-dash-dash?
