The prior sentence could refer to all of the speeches last night, but obviously the one in question is Barack Obama's State of the Union address. Last night, the emptiness of it pissed me off, particularly how he talked a big game about innovation and moving forward and education, and then proceeded to concede the argument to Republicans that we really shouldn't do any of those things because they cost money. But this morning, I've mellowed out on it a bit and basically feel like I saw a man who has given up. And I can respect that; it's not like anything can be done with the den of wingnut weasels the country just elected to Congress. All he's got left is admonishing us to try harder, while knowing we totally plan to fail and fail hard. Until people who care more about the possibility that women are having unauthorized orgasms than about the state of our economy and our future, we're going to continue this slide downhill, and that's basically all there is to it.
