MY THOUGHTS on last night's State of the Union speech: unexceptional, trite, banal, same old, same old ... then Stephen Green, liveblogging as http://pjmedia.com/blog/drunkblogging-sotu/Vodkapundit, got it exactly: "the Audacity of Bullshit." Here are my notes again, cleaned up and slightly expanded.

Our military men & women coming home. Yes, but as they did during Vietnam, sacrificing in vain because the administration didn't have the courage to win.

Today America uses less oil. Yes, but because America is a less prosperous nation under Obama's 'leadership'.

Can I buy (tax, borrow, or steal) some more zeros? I'll need them to continue the administration's 'investment' in government. Nothing I'll propose will increase the deficit (neither will it decrease the deficit).

Keystone? Fracking? Nope, but I will 'speed up' (ha!) leasing public lands (my lands, by the way; I'm the public) and use the income to combat climate change by -- you guessed it -- further subsidizing wind and solar.

Let's "Fix it First" -- with more tax money we don't have, of course. And by the way, I'll direct private capital their money on ports, pipelines, and schools.

More NewSpeak (again via Stephen Green): Spending is Saving.

Our children aren't learning enough in government schools, so we must start their indoctrination earlier with government-funded preschools.

Colleges and universities are becoming unaffordable, so let's get rid of those pesky 'for profit' institutions.

Obama promised me a job.... 0ops, he meant illegals.

Raise the minimum wage; take another rung from the bottom of the latter. Jump higher, you poor bastards.

We're going to fill up the middle class by reducing the number of people in the upper class.

We're going to defeat Al Qaeda leaving the Mideast and focusing on reducing our nuclear arsenal.

A nothing speech. Reduce government tax expenditures (NewSpeak for raise taxes); invest (NewSpeak for spend more [on pie-in-the-sky liberal dreams]); educate more (NewSpeak for indoctrination); and promote public safety (NewSpeak for control more). Be of good cheer; our Government is here and it.will.help.you.

ENDNOTE: I participated in the Fox News/Bing pulse poll during the State of the Union speech. The results, posted http://www.bing.com/politics/stateoftheunionhere, are accurate only if the vertical axis went from Neutral (top) to Negative (bottom). Only once during the entire speech did the 'pulse' ever move into positive territory. The charts are bogus.
