Hey everybody! Remember President Bush? Well, I’ve done a little research and have discovered, much to my surprise, that he is still president. I know. I was shocked too. Well, tonight he will give what is largely thought to be his last State of the Union address. He will most likely talk about the economy, as that is the big issue of the moment, and he’s got his name all over this possible stimulus package. He’s quite proud of it, since it’s the only thing he’’s really managed to do since being reelected, and I think he wants it to help pad his flimsy domestic legacy, which at the moment pretty much begins and ends with the whole “No Child Left Behind” debacle.

I will have my trusty vomit bucket handy, always essential anytime I subject myself to one of his speeches, and I assume tonight will be no different. He probably won’t have anything new to say, and will probably restrict himself to justifying his stupid war, trying to scare the crap out of everyone, and taking credit for achievements that he has very little to do with. That plus the usual round of totally unachievable crap ideas that every president throws into the State of the Union. Like every time he talks about energy independence and sending manned missions to mars. That sort of thing. It’ll be a greatest hits album, and really, why not one more round for old times sake. He’ll be as irrelevant as VHS in a few months anyway, even more so than he has been since the last congressional elections, so lets let him enjoy his last few moments in the spot light before the last of the rats jump his ship, and he’s relegated to the scrap heap of history. It’s the last lap of a very LONG, very badly run race, so come on America, let’s watch him try the old lines one more time. They still won’t work, but it will serve to remind everyone how important this election is, and how absolutely sweet it will be to have this lazy, arrogant, liar out of office. Should be fun.

OH, and watch for him to claim the lack of an attack since 9-11 as some sort of achievement. He does this a lot now, even though when he had an actual disaster to deal with, (Katrina anyone?), he totally screwed it up. You know times are hard, legacy-wise, when the best you can do for a positive is to tout the lack of anything horrible happening (even though it did, again, ask the people of New Orleans). The earth didn’t crash into the sun. WAY TO GO BUSH!
