Upcoming Speech
"In a public address next week, Bush plans to lay out in more detail the course for the remaining month and a half before the scheduled transfer".
Maybe this speech will finally be the one where Bush doles out more than what Sullivan calls "valid but superfluous boilerplate," but, if past history is an indication, I doubt it. So far, every one of Bush's speechs that were meant to plug the holes of his sinking ship have been only mediocre at best. To expect a man who has consistently shown himself incapable of articulating a lucid, well-conceived strategy to suddenly do so now is just wishful thinking. I predict that Bush will offer vague reassurances, few details, and only a feeble recognition of past and current difficulties.
I just hope that the President talks more about space exploration. What the country needs right now is a sucessful mission to the Red Planet.
Hahahah... indeed. That one sure got dropped fast. Maybe he'll talk about the Homosexual Menace. One of *them* tried to recruit me just the other day. The pamphlet was quite persuasive, but I don't want to pay the membership dues.
