Read at your own risk (the risk of being offended by what you are about to read...my thoughts...just my thoughts and opinions (though they happen to be spot on))
I watched last night's State of the Union. I knew to expect something quite less than mediocre but still I watched. Why? Because I am an American and I consider it my responsibility to be fully informed and educated about the goings-on of my nation, regardless of whether or not an idiot is its Commander in Chief. Before anyone considers condemning me for making that statement or labeling me as unpatriotic, let it be known that I served in my country's military...not once, but twice. I did not serve in the military because I am a warmonger; in fact, I am entirely opposed to all war and military conflict. I am entirely opposed to the loss of life a the hands of another human being. I hate that this world requires militaries to exist. Going on to my original blog...
So I affixed my butt to my sofa to watch our President give the State of the Union address...prepared for the worst but hoping for something digestible. Mr. Bush...you lost me at "Hello" and insulted me when you jockeyed around issues concerning our country's energy policies and improving them so that we may become a nation no longer dependant on oil and gas.
Sigh. (pause)
I'm insulted because you have waited until the 11th hour (literally) to insert your "ideas" when you (and every other living and breathing human being) knows that even the best of Presidents (which you are clearly not) are largely impotent during their final year in office. Mr. Bush...you had seven years to implement changes...any change...in the direction of improving our nation's energy independence. The billions that you (almost unilaterally) spent to invade and occupy Iraq could have and should have been invested in those policy changes you are now touting.
Mr. Bush...you are a disgrace to your office and to this great nation.
President Clinton inserted a cigar into the vagina of a White House intern...IN THE WHITEHOUSE HALLS...and you, sir, will be remembered as a far greater disgrace to the office of the presidency.
And for shits and giggles...let's review some of your finer moments.
