Our imbecile president droned on for over 55 minutes last night in a pack of lies euphemistically termed the �State of the Union Address�. Here were some of his clever ideas to protect us all from dangerous things like personal liberty, employment, balanced federal budgets, and sex:

Renewal of the �Patriot Act�;

A permanent enactment of all his tax cuts;

Stripping Americans of their rights to sue for medical malpractice;

23 million bucks for drug testing in public schools;

Double funding for abstinence programs;

4 year, 300 million dollar program to fund religious missionaries to released prisoners;

A constitutional amendment to �defend the sanctity of marriage� (not to defend it, presumably, from divorce or infidelity, but from �the gays�).

There is nothing too ridiculous, too banal and false and pandering for him to say. And oh how they all worship him, all the pompous, overweight and self-satisfied white guys. How puffy and red their faces grow when anyone speaks ill of their Golden Boy, the one who showed everyone that you really can be important without a lot of fancy book-learnin�. He�s their man, the guy who doesn�t give a damned about smart-mouthed professors and their complicated opinions, or about smooth-talking African diplomats at the U.N. He knows that all our problems can be solved by a good old-fashioned ass-kickin�. How I loathe him. God, how I loathe him.

Incidentally, it really makes me laugh how CNN will run these little quotes at the bottom of the screen during a speech. Like he�d say �we must defend the sanctity of marriage� and it will say at the bottom of the screen: �Bush: �must defend the sanctity of marriage.�� No shit, assholes, he JUST SAID THAT.

Also, Nancy Pelosi may be a reptile�I don�t think I saw her blink even once during her rebuttal speech. So creepy.

Tom Dachle says that small towns are America�s �backbone�. Why is paying homage to rural America the price of admission to American Politics? Some 80% of Americans live in cities, and America has been an urban nation since the 19th century.
