State of the Union: Either brain-damaged or something to conceal
As per tradition, I’m trotting out my State of the Union article from 2003.
Here’s an excerpt:
President-Select George W. Bush delivered the yearly State of the Union address last night.

“This nation fights reluctantly,” he told us. “We exercise power without conquest, and sacrifice for the liberty of strangers… Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation.”

Henrik Ibsen sez: “Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; days of joy, but not peace and happiness.”
