Cynical SOTU
I only caught a few minutes of the President's Recitiation of His Laundry List, but that was enough to catch him cracking grins while (among other things) claiming that he and the Republican Congress will be good stewards of the people's money.

Goodbye, Mr. Bush.
P.S. to the Democrats who interrupted Bush to applaud the sunset of the Patriot Act: Good Show.

From WMD, to WMD programs, to, uhh, WMD-related program activities. Next up: WMD-related program activity dreamy fantasies!
Yeah, I got a kick of imagining the fights in newspaper rooms all over America about the right way to hyphenate that rather, um, unique construction.
