Shame of the Union

I missed the State of the Union this year. Last year I commented that Bush shamelessly conflated supporting the surge and supporting the troops, and the democrats shamelessly applauded the turkey.

By the way, last year bush wanted tax cuts, this year he wants them, and all the yappin about stimulus doesn't mean anything to him. And still, the gutless Democrats roll over and gives him tax cuts when there are much more effective stimulus policies.

The presidential 'race' is nearly decided, now that about 3% of the population (but 100% of the money men whose votes are the only ones that really count) has voted. And a dismal lot of leftovers we have. I guess I'll have throw in with Teddy Kennedy and hope for Obama at this point. Maybe he will be better than advertised. The rest of the gang are thoroughly nauseating.
