State of the Union


The President is drunk and Dingell is dozing. Anyone else watching?

anyone else catch his statement about no child left behind? it was something crazy like "no one can deny its success."

Bush has never glanced at a note, or shuffled a paper on his lectern. It appears that he is dictating the speech. He's not speaking like a normal person.

Yes, I'm watching. The guy is clearly loaded. His mouth is way more mushy than normal, and that's saying something. The word "citizen" has never sounded so garbled as when it passes through that simian mouth of his.

And the subject/verb agreement issue is off the charts. Plural when it should be singular, singular when it should be plural.

They cut to a shot of his own daughters who looked less enthused than some of the Democrats with their obligatory clapping.

The almost silent reaction to his "success" of No Child Left Behind was priceless. Even the dopes on the other side of the aisle were tepid at best in their applause.

This was a doozy he dropped to the troops, "In the fight ahead you will have everything you need to protect yourseves." What about the fight behind? That woulda been nice, George. Could've saved a few hundred lives maybe.

Watch my Nets for a few games. Then your Clippers will start looking like the Globetrotters.

John, I didn't go to the game. Ate the tickets. I don't like doing that, but it's only happened one other time.

Here's how I do it... I enjoy the whole experience. It's fun. The seats we have this year are great. The only slight downer is the fact that Clipper Darrell -the yelling madman fan- is five seats down from us.

Jack, I wish the Clippers looked like the Globetrotters, but they look more like the Washington Generals, the team the Trotters have beaten for 40 years in a row.

Speaking of Clipper Darrel, I don't know if you heard about this, but Mark Cuban has offered him a "gig" to move to Dallas and be the Mavs newest mascot. He would help him move to Dallas, pay him 75k a year and set him up with a custom auto body shop just like the one he has here in LA. Unreal.
