The State of the Union address is just downright creepy. It has been pointed out that it has become little more than a Kabuki play, and I agree. All those stupid applause breaks that both parties have to stand for, mostly in response to empty platitudes that no one can disagree with like, "we must honor the sacrifice of America's military families."

It's just embarrassing. Let's bring back the malaise! People gave Carter so much crap for being honest.

Anyway, I'm very impressed that Bush, when talking about energy actually said nuclear, rather than nucular.

Yes, that is how low my standards are. Proper pronunciation is about the best I can expect.
