State of the Union

This one goes out to Mike - my political discussion cohort.

Did I just hear that correctly? Did I hear President Bush say that they were working on reducing gasoline usage in this country by 20%? Was that the caribou I just heard high-fiving each other? Er, maybe not. (First of all, caribou don’t have five [fingers] to “high” anyway.) Still, he wants to reduce this usage by 20% in the next 10 years. I’m not gonna argue too much with that.

“Our citizens don’t much care which side of the aisle we sit on, as long as we are willing to cross that aisle when there is work to be done.”

I also agree with this statement. I don’t care if they’re Republican or Democrat, I care that they do what they say they will. I care that they faithfully represent their constituents. Oh, alright, I also care that they don’t lie, cheat, murder or commit any other foul crimes, too.
One last couple of things that I noted from the State of the Union. Was it just me or did Dick Cheney look like he was going to start laughing during the “oil” part of the speech. Don’t know why, but it bothered me. And those people who don’t stand and clap? Are they the Democrats or just tired and cranky? Ah, just got a better look, I think they are the Supreme Court Justices. Are they too good to stand up?
