Sotu '06

[mousepod]

Yeah. I watched it. Twice. I'm at work now, so I don't have time to really get into my thoughts, except to say that I've never been a huge fan of GWB (actually, I love the George Washington Bridge - I don't like George Bush) and the SOTU didn't help. I disagree with so many parts of his agenda that I just sat there and waited for the code words that make his supporters happy. And then I cried.

Here's one funny part:

Yet many Americans, especially parents, still have deep concerns about the direction of our culture, and the health of our most basic institutions. They're concerned about unethical conduct by public officials, and discouraged by activist courts that try to redefine marriage. They worry about children in our society who need direction and love, and about fellow citizens still displaced by natural disaster, and about suffering caused by treatable diseases.

Gay marriage, hurricanes, polio...
