Since this week’s comic is just a bunch of cheap shots at celebrities I don’t like, I feel slightly obligated to put something political up here on State of the Union day. But I don’t want to.
This may shock some of you, but I do not like George Bush or any of the policies he’ll be announcing tonight. I’ll watch anyway, probably because I hate myself, but mostly to see if the Democrats will lay another wet fart and offer another milquetoast rebuttal. If they don’t use the precious air time they’re given tonight to launch an aggressive and appealing message for the midterms, they’re fucked.
The media’s going to fawn over Schools on the Moon, or whatever ridiculous program Bush offers up, unless the Democrats force the narrative back to Abramoff and illegal wiretapping. And if they’re smart, they’ll also mix in some pandering message of hope and prosperity to round up the dum-dum vote.

They’re fucked.
We’re fucked.

I should’ve toned the doom and gloom down a bit. I momentarily forgot that a vast majority of this country didn’t watch any of it, or won’t remember any of it come November.
They need to rally around specifics, not feel good words like God, Results, and Smegma.
