Early thread on State of the Union address
The State of the Union address in tonight in the US. Bush is not suppose to give evidence of Iraq connection to al Qaeda, but Powell is suppose to after the address.

What will the evidence be? Will it be enough to unite the world behind the administration on the war?

I hope Comedy Central does a play-by-play parody of the address. I'm sure Bush will talk about getting his "help the rich" 'stimulus' package passed. He'll probably indirectly blame the democrats for their objection to it. I've heard he won't talk about Iraq, but I don't know what he will be talking about without Iraq. Maybe Homeland Security.... I dunno, because his domestic agenda is crap!

Predictions:

No one will understand what Bush say, but there will be a lot of applauding and a lot of booing.

Bush will say chicken and Iraq in the same sentence, but not correlate the two.

Bush will hold up his thumb the entire speech.

Cheney will fall asleep.

Some guy standing behind the president will stare into the camera the entire time.

Bush will use the word dictatorship, and start to laugh halfway through the word.

All the women will be wearing red, except for one or two really ugly ones.

We will make a lot of people angry.

Then... Powell will display the cloaking shield that we have been using to spy on Saddam, and he will reveal that Saddam is in fact an Alien!!! He will be hailed a god by some French cult who will immediatly clone him and have a fashion show. Saddam will be so disgusted by these people that he will run away, never to be seen again... Speculation will arise that he is hangin' with his bro Osama.

I can't decide if Bush will use the word "freedom" 57 or 58 times.

I can't sleep. I see Bush on TV. He speaks in short sentences. There is lots of flaping hands afterwartd. I need sleep at least a little, but It seems I would have nightmare. I possibly have, then again I haven't.

Bush: Double taxation... flapping ...more taxproducts... Washington DC flaping long...
HIS SPEECH WAS CLEARLY PREPARED BY SOMEONE ELSE. He is educated, why he doesn't did it by himself?
Poor Yanks, they must see this type of ... every day and sometime twice per day.

I would go to sleep with words of Bush in my ears.
See ya at Friday.

Bush requested funding for Hydrogen-Oxygen cars so that a child born today could drive a "pollution-free" when he gets his license.

What idiot cut-and-pasted the science for that line?

Hydrogen cars use atmospheric air just like current automobiles. Using hydrogen means hotter-running engines in a 78% nitrogen atmosphere...That means a buttload of NOx. NOx is one of the worst pollutants.

True hydrogen cars would be cleaner, no CO2, CO, soot, but "pullution-free"?

Damn, this speech is 95% crap...only decent part so far has been tax cuts, eliminating marriage penalty, capital gains, etc.

"Freedom and security of the American people" what a hoot
