State of the Union

travis slack writes "President Bush used his State of the Union speech to press home key domestic and international agendas. At home he promised to reform Social Security for future generations. Looking overseas, Bush vowed to spread freedoms around the world while continuing the war on terror, and he pointed to Iraq as a symbol of change."

    Make sure you don't run out of tin foil for your hat.

    If you said you were counting the words because of a beer drinking contest that would be one thing, but you seem to me to be just another paranoid pinhead.

    Keep counting. If you correlate these numbers with the counts of "umm err" in the debates and the number of smirks in press conferences, the numeric relationships can be used to decode the mysteries of the universe.

    Indeed. But the frequency with which the word 'fnord' appears in his speeches is far more worrisome.

    First, he almost never defines these terms.

    The fact that Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Speech both fall on Feb. 2 represents an ironic juxtaposition:

    One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication; the other involves a groundhog.

    Bloody hell, you're reading into the election results too much! Bush got in cos of the Christian-vote; nothing like a crusade to get their feet marching to the polling booths.

    As for the parent, well I love modding him down on a regular basis! : )
