Vote For Kodos: The State of the Union
Boy howdy, I love the State of the Union address. I particularly enjoyed President Bush's backhanded congratulations to the new House and Senate majorities. Backhanded, you say? He didn't congratulate the new "Democratic majorities," he congratulated the new "Democrat majorities." That's just one of the many ways in which we Republicans show our disdain for the Democrats, by butchering the adjective form of their party's name. Hee hee.

I thought President Bush gave a good speech, cheerful when talking about the homefront but appropriately grim on the ongoing battle against radical Islamist terrorism in both the Sunni (al Qaeda) and Shia (Iran) flavors. And despite loving the "Democrat" jab, I enjoyed the acclaim heaped on Speaker Pelosi for being the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House. I disagree with Pelosi's politics, but any step toward gender equality is a good one. And the "exemplary Americans" part of the speech was the best I've ever seen; between Dikembe Mutombo (whom I'd had no idea had become an American; that's awesome!) and Wesley Autrey, the normally moribund "ain't these bastards great" section of the State of the Union elevated the whole evening. The best State of the Union ever? Maybe, maybe not, but certainly a damn good time at the ol' Capitol!

If you didn't watch the State of the Union adress, please be so kind as to go to hell. An informed, involved citizenry is the lifeblood of the Republic and if you don't want to be a part of that, I'd ask you to please refrain for sullying this blog with your apathy. And now for a rousing chant of "U-S-A!": U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

America kicks ass.
