Did anyone else

do a double-take when hearing Mr Bush’s comments on energy?  Sound familiar?  He’s conservatively cherry-picking bits from Al Gore’s speeches:  Earth Day 2000Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles 2000.  “I think our friends in the Middle East should know that we intend to be customers, not addicts.”

As usual, I find the SOTU a waste of time, liters of smelly, overtly orchestrated political hot air.  Time to retire the practice.

I can’t watch the thing - it’s absolutely unbearable. My distaste, incidentally, goes back to the Clinton admin, but this crew has sent the SOTU to new lows.

I’m left with an uneasiness. I feel a responsibility as a citizen (read: subject) of this country to listen intently to our executive administrators, however, I can’t stand the shilling anymore. “Congress failed to pass Social Security reforms…” or some such bullshit. How can I claim to be a responsible member of society when I find I simply cannot withstand the intellectual assaults?

36 minutes of speech, 16 minutes of applause.
Nuff said.
