SOTU: 10 pm PST

Apologies for my late coverage. Many of you already have seen or are now listening to recaps of the SOTU. I had unforseen difficulties getting to the original broadcast and I apologize.

I will be reviewing the address during this second broadcast.

The black-inked fingers are juvenile, and there is nothing equivalent between the United States, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Ukraine. We didn't have a fair vote, they did. An immediate appeal to the grey-hairs. A request for stewardship of the economy and a leap immediately into Social Security? A litany of disinformation on jobs, housing and social reforms. The set-up is all optimistic, the facts are not matching. Welcoming bi-partisan work on the economy and cutting the deficit in half by 2009 are the words of a delusional man. Which 150 programs were cut? And since when is billions of dollars a month in spending in Iraq essential? And No Child Left Behind is a lie. Diplomas are only tickets to success? Whose measure of success? PELL grants will need to be larger since students will be earning less. JUNK LAW SUITS? Frivolous asbestos claims? What is this guy talking about? Sit down, sit down, sit down. Republicans love to stand when the words mean they will make more while the working make less.

Comprehensive energy program. There it is - SAFE CLEAN NUCLEAR ENERGY (search my blog for nuclear energy to see the post last week on that one).

He wants that Alaskan refuge drilled tomorrow (four years of debate is enough). No actually, it is too much having to stave off a rapist for four years.

Oh, the tax code. Of course, Bush and who? will get us a tax code that is probably well, flat - slanted to the rich - and leaving out corporations altogether.

Why do we have jobs Americans will not take? Because they pay SO DAMN LITTLE.

Ah, here's the Social Security lie. Come on you scum bag, say it, say it...there it is "bankruptcy". No, No, No. LIAR!!!!!! Oh God, it will change in one big way, you will be receiving lower benefits! And for younger workers - oh God, the lies, lies, lies, lies. HOW does he do this with a straight face?

Download and read the PDA file on my site (search for Playbook) of their Playbook for Social Security reform. His speech is practically taken directly from it...he is speaking slowly, in terms we dumb folks can understand. He is linking it to our children's security...oh God. What he's not saying is that younger workers being invested in it (personal retirement accounts - fuck you) will make sure younger workers are so dependent on the returns of corporate America that they will NEVER, NEVER be willing to regulate, investigate, or otherwise impede corporations in the future. They won't be dependent on the government, they'll be dependent on corporations. What he's not telling you is that he doesn't want to repay the billions he's already siphoned off the account as unreported debt!

Ownership - no. This is cost-shifting risk to younger American's and buying their future votes.

If you want to support the institution of marriage, outlaw divorce. Did this guy just say that some lives should not be sacrificed for the good of others? Then why did over 1000 American's die so Iraqi's could...VOTE?

AH, the attack on 'activist" judges. And his push for the (only) four judges he couldn't get last term. Up or down vote? Look at Cheney. He's in hog heaven; prick.

Oh, I guess now we're going to give more of my tax money to faith-based organizations. I want them paying taxes now too. ALL OF THEM. Tax church's that take government money.

Like the DNA thing, too bad Gonzale's wouldn't back it.

First responders? Don't applaud them, fund them!

Come on, say it, O-S-A-M-A...no?

What coalition? He still hasn't built one, how can he build more?

Oh yes, fight the foundations of radicalism and despair. The only force powerful enough to stop tyranny is the force of human freedom? Did I miss something here? Well, I guess now that we've all declared war on each other, neocons have their set-up for perpetual war...no intention to impose our form of govenrmnt? Well, democracy is our form of government. Is he ever using any part of his brain? How many times is he saying freedom in this one?

Going to Palestine because we weren't invited to the meeting announced between Israel and Palestine - don't want to be left out of this one. And don't believe America will help the two live "side-by-side' in peace. That would wreck the Rapture Index...

Argh, a camera shot of Tom Delay (my eyes have been burnt out)! I'm getting a headache...

The 'our men and women are fighting terrorists in Iraq so we don't have to here', line - well, there weren't any terrorists in Iraq before, but I guess we're all going to forget (and forgive) that now. Enough of this Iraq vote thing...you know it is meaningless. I guess you need some victory to sell SSI reform. Oh jeez will everybody please sit down - this is worse than church. I wish Bush would have paid the cost for Iraq's vote. No, our kid's will, with the baby tax - 36K each. Hope it was worth it, Iraq. I can't afford health insurance, but I sure am glad America spends billions every week so that Iraq can vote...

More terrorist talk. Move one...what is Cheney chewing? Sorry, my mind wanders when it gets numb...

Okay, Iraq, we are going to be in a supporting role. Oh, that would be to dig in for the oil.

Is he still on Iraq? Yes, and that is because he is not bringing any one of the troops home before Cheney owns all the oil...and BushCo. What equipment have we given them? Who is this guy up there? You'll do everything you can to help them recover from terrible injuries? How about bring them home. Oh, we said farewell to soldiers who died for our freedom? What? Our freedom is secure - they died for oil...oh, the Norwood's. They are standing up for the other family members of 1300 dead soldiers? No, I bet they are the only ones who would come...oh, please. My heart strings.

Did he reference FDR? Ohh...

What is the freedom count in this one? Excuse me, I have to hurl now...

PUNDITS immediately got it; he harped on the war to make himself look good enough to sell the SSI scam. Okay let me say it for you: THERE ARE NO WMD'S IN SOCIAL SECURITY!
