The State of the Union is ....

... tonight.

Does he jerk the ship of state hard to the center or say damn the torpedoes?

 

He’ll announce that free Mountain Dew coupons – redeemable at Wal-Mart – are in the mail. His popularity will then skyrocket in Real America.

 

The centrists are out in full force. Nobody in government has any principles to stand by

 

Another insidious political thread creeping into sj.

I think Lucas should just re-open the political thread and let everybody go Lord of the Flies over there.

 

I have the conch!

 

Kill the pig! Cut her throat! Bash her in!

 

On another front, Rep. Joe "You lie!" Wilson has announced he's doing an official response to the speech.

On Facebook.

Maybe he'll meet a nice girl there.

 

I hope that, due to some unfortunate typographical error in his briefing papers, he ends up reading excerpts from satirical spoof Internet newspaper.

 

If we're going to get political, maybe here is a place to bring up that the ACORN Pimp (as well as the son of the U.S. Attorney) got busted for allegedly trying to bug Mary Landrieu's New Orleans office phones.

It'll be interesting to find out the motive (some chatter about trying to catch her in illegal acts to help her brother get elected mayor) and the money behind it.

As for the state of the union it is... strong. Isn't it always?

 

Fitting that it's the same week as the Pro Bowl, another useless exercise. He'll give a speech which will be instantly analyzed by the 15 panelists on CNN (check out or realtime viewer pulse survey!); the republicans will hate it; people will talk about it for a few days; and then nothing will change.
