Thirty-three.  Thirty-three university students dead.  DEAD.

At Columbine, two men armed with Tech-9 assault weapons and homemade pipebombs killed thirteen people.  At Virginia Tech, one man killed thirty two and then killed himself.  There is only one word that can describe the reaction of VT to this situation: incompetence. 

This blog is primarily going to be a commentary on specific things the President says during the State of the Union. I'm just going to be typing sort of stream of thought as he says things, though I will be pausing my TV to help in my typing. Praise be to Allah for the magic of Tivo. I'll comment on a variety of things, but mostly the truthiness, intelligence, and plausbility of the things he says. Before the SOTU (pronounced, So Two) begins, I'd like to make a point about the State of the Union. No matter which President gives it, it is largely a whole bunch of BS. The President is telling the roughly 35% of Americans who tune in to watch exactly what he thinks they want to hear. So it really shouldn't be called the state of the union as much as should be called the, "Opportunity for the President to tell the people what he thinks they want to hear but in reality bore them to death." It is with this very low opinion of the SOTU that I begin. The President is entering now. Ooo...goody! Nancy Pelosi is wearing a very festive green get up. But it doesn't have anything on Laura's "you may hate my husband but i'm still hot" red dress.
