State of the Onion

I got through most of the State of the Union last night. It was weird to see four Supreme Court Justices there. Where were the rest? And who was that little girl up in the rafters? She looked bored.

Bush tried to sound like a Democrat, but then didn't. He said we're overly dependent on oil (true), and proposed new (not true) clean energy ideas, like coal (not clean), wind and solar (clean), and "nu-cu-ler" (not a word, and not clean). He said we need better health care, then looked at Ms. Clinton, who shook her head and laughed, which was a natural response, but is also part of the reason she isn't likely to become president anytime soon. She's not much of a politician.

Cindy Sheehan was almost there. A Congresswoman gave her a ticket. She came wearing a t-shirt with the number of killed U.S. soldiers printed on it. They arrested her. No joke. They arrested her for wearing a t-shirt with a number on it. Meanwhile, some Republican family was allowed to sit behind creepy Laura and have people applaud how their son got killed. They smiled and thanked the president for killing their son.

God bless America.
