What the...?

Ok. I'm not a supporter of our president. No big surprise there. But, I had some hope for the State of the Union address Tuesday night. I was hoping that his handlers, the people who tell him what to say, would be smarter than they have shown themselves to be. Once again, they have treated the people in our country like children. Bush mentioned September 11 twice. He talked about Weapons of Mass Destruction again. I would've been convinced I was watching one of the previous two addresses if he hadn't mentioned the death of Dr. King's widow when he opened his speech. After that, it was the same old junk. Freedom, terror, freedom, terror...

He devoted two sentences to Hurricane Katrina. That's only one more sentence than what he devoted to his opposition to the creation of human-animal hybrids. It was disgusting.

So, as the now conservative Dennis Miller once said, "I'm like Bush, I see the world more like checkers than chess." Unfortunately, Bush has been playing the same game for 5 years. I think it's time for someone to knock over the game board and start a new game.
