		<description>Eric, you are more of a man than me.  Just couldn&#039;t, wouldn&#039;t, didn&#039;t consider giving it or the pre or post hype a NY minute of my time, and I&#039;ve been a political junkie forever. I guess I do have my limits and this one was only going to be a pukefest at best, or a frustration bomb on the other side.

I won’t be able to escape the post SOTU re-hash completely of course as it will bombard me from all media angles. And unfortunately at my shiny corporate office complex it&#039;s hey Fox Muse Channel 24/7 in the commons area I must pass through every time I go anywhere at the place of my employment.  So that will be nice.

Plunderbund brought me the only means by which I could stomach the event, the blink journalism in fact was the only way to fly through this night and still have some semblance of being a responsible staying connected kind of citizen and maintain healthy vitals. But perfect really.  In fact, for all Rove/Cheney events going forward, I would prefer them to be of the Eric-blink-jo format.  Much easier to deal with.

And yes, blah, blah, purple fingers of freedom until the evil doers are no more and blah blah blah with the terrorism protection program and the HSAs fer the masses, etc, etc.  Go God, Go USA!!! (suckers)  That&#039;s about it.  I would disagree a little however, Bush doesn&#039;t need a new speech writer, this Nation needs a new media, one that entices and encourages folks to really question, by doing the same.  But without a new paradigm or some heretofore unforeseen development in media creation and distribution, or some nationwide Katrina-like event that really puts the average white band through some serious muck and significantly curtails their purchases of Chinese shit from Wallyworld and pharmaceuticals and oil, well, then his speechwriter is really suited just fine for what we&#039;ve got now.  
  
Rove found the near-perfect political puppet, and tonight I&#039;m sure for Karl it was probably just like watching Westminster in Madison Square Garden for him.  And, if all went well Georgie read all of his pre-prepared lines well with no major, major guffaws and hit his punctuation points perfectly and his gallery of cronies and co-conspirators did cheer in kind and carried their portion of the show.  And yes his numbers will bounce, and the state of our democracy&#039;s continued demise is, uh, well, strong!    

Un Paid advertisement:  After watching the SOTU do you suffer from the affects of Rove/Cheney Irritable Morale Syndrome?  Well then ask your doctor about Blink-Jo from Plunderbund.</description>
