SOTU Reaction

Apparently there was this whole State of the Union Speech thing that Shrub gave last week. Since I'm trying to pretend that he doesn't exist, I didn't watch it or read any of the commentary on it. However, in reading a humor site, I accidentally read a summary and analysis of the speech couched in funny language that is worth reading. As a teaser, here's part:

"We will pass along to our children all the freedoms we enjoy -- and chief among them is freedom from fear." Oh, we're free from fear now? You guys had spent that last three years sounding the terror alert every Thursday and insisting that Saddam Hussein was 14 minutes away from acquiring Giant Carnivorous Robots, but now that Bush is re-elected I guess we're in the clear.

His bit about Social Security "reform" is well worth reading as well. Now I will return to my protective anti-politics cocoon.
