Truth to Power

SOTU

Yeah, yeah, State of the Freakin’ Union was last night. Not much to say, other than Cindy Sheehan got arrested for wearing an anti-war shirt. But as to the content of the “message”?

Lie, lie, 9/11, lie, lie, democrats traitors, 9/11, lie lie, I’m your king and only I can protect your rights by taking them away, lie, lie, need to ween ourselves from our addiction to kickbacks to energy companies, oops, I mean oil from little brown people, lie, lie, 9/11.

Or something like that. Or as a joke LH sent me went:

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address fall on the same day. As Air America Radio pointed out, “It is an ironic juxtaposition: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, and the other involves a groundhog.”

Har.
