State of the Union Address

*cynical, GenX statement warning*

It was a political exercise with very little to commend or criticize...unless you already have your red state/blue state opinion. In which case, you'll commend or criticize depending on your bent. I mean, how can you argue with wanting more teachers or cleaner fuels or health care adjustments? All good things. But, then there's the reality that the budget figures mentioned didn't factor in war costs or nothing was said about the 20% of Americans with no healthcare at all or why math & science are so much more important than English or Art or whatever. Red state/blue state.

So, watching the blowhards on each side talk afterwards, I just want to say "Nice cheerleading."

Such is the manner of our current political system.

Now, back to TomKat and/or Brangelina or Oprah or Oscar talk...
