State of the Union
I couldn't bring myself to watch Bush blather on TV this year, but I did read some excerpts, plenty of straight reporting, and plenty more commentary. While several people (i.e. Joe Conason) are talking about the so carefully worded sentence "...identified dozens of weapons of mass destruction-related program activities", I was struck by how little was mentioned of any substance. Usually, the Bush team saves some whopper for the big speech so that the media has something to ooh and aah over. This time it was all little stuff that we all know will never actually happen.
Remember Bush's great plan to get us to the Moon in only twice as long as it took NASA to do it 40 years ago? No mention of that one.
Let's face it--the state of our union is trashed. Record deficit, stretched military, Osama running loose, hated around the world, the most divisive congress in recent memory, environmental problems galore, corporate scandals, backroom payoffs, etc, etc...

I did not watch the State of the Union address. I wonder if the Bush camp will now start supporting genetic engineering once the scientists figure out how to use it to engineer a Mod Cow resistant cow? The beef industry will loby hard for that one, and Bush will accept the bribe.
