Where was Jesus?
Bush's speech was suprisingly light on all the god talk, and unless I missed it (my eyes were beginning to glaze over) two perenial stars of his State of the Union speeches were no-shows: abortion and protection of marriage. Did I simply miss them, or did Bush leave them off the guest list? It seems like the Republicans weren't the only ones who took a beating in the November elections. The Radical Christian star doesn't seem to be shining as brightly as it once did. It seems like we very little of them these days. Good riddence.
Overall I was struck by the pandering phoniness. Global warming, the environmet, alternative fuels? Did we see both of his hands while he addressed those issus, or did he have one hand behing his back with his fingers crossed?
He'll leave office and wander off into history as an unqualified disaster and failure of epic proportions. Watching him tap dance last night trying to make himself seem relevant, I couldn't even work up an ounce of pity for him.
