SOTU

Last night, President Bush gave his sixth State of the Union (SOTU) address. It was kind of a "ho-hummer". The good parts were watching the faces of Hillary Clinton, Patrick Leahy, Ted Kennedy (who may have been sleeping and dreaming of a secular-progressive nation), Vice-President Cheny, and especially Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Hillary glared at President Bush nearly the entire time. Leahy looked like he was plotting a calculated ploy for Vermont to secede to Canada. Mr. Cheney sported a coy smile when the Commander-in-Chief spoke about alternate energy sources for our nation to use other than oil. "What will happen to Halliburton?" was the look that came across on the veep's face. So much for stock-options. Mrs. Pelosi had the look of the night. When Bush proclaimed he would take the burden off the American people and not raise taxes, the darling of San Francisco furrowed her brow, rolled her eyes and mouthed, "Oh, sure."

That was the most interesting part of the SOTU. They say a picture is worth a thousand words...well, so is a look on someone's face.
