State of the Union

-This address was well defined in recent e-mail, as a meanless ritual, we look to the insignificant creature of questional intelligence for prognosticants. I think the writer was thinking of Feb 2, groundhog, but it fits pp as well.

-Did you stay up last night to watch the Gov. Mitch Daniel's (R-IN) rebuttle of pp address? Gov Daniel's gave one of the best if not the best rebuttal of any person since the rebuttal was invented. Just Mitch and the camera crew, no captive audiance as was the case in DC. This guy was also "W" budget director and later got IN's budget back in the black, when the rest of the states were buying red ink by the barrel.

-As far as pp's address... it was something like the captian's statements of the Italian cruse ship sinking off the west coast of Italy. pp was all over the map. pp was on his socialist binge of the need of financial equality. He proposed setting up another task force team to patrol the banks and lending institutions, head up by the AG office. Cameras focused on the camel herder, as if he was the intended leader. Might wait a spell this AG maybe be fired over "Fast and Furious? I thought the Dodd-Frank Law was to take care of this? What does the IRS do?

-At the beginning and towards the end of the address he thanked the troops return by years' end last from Iraq and that more troops to be removed from Afghanistan later this year, ready or not. He welcomed returning troops to the unemployment lines, but suggested he is proosing employers who hire a vet special inceryiyudes. He did thank the special forces for helping him kill OBL, and hinted other leaders being disposed of in N.African and Middle East as somehow helping us? Huh!!!As far as Syria's slaughter of their civilians, now approaching 11 months and 6,000 deaths later, hinted their leader will get what he deserves soon. Relations will Israel was never better. The "ropes" around Iran are showing promise or words to that effect.
