SOTU: Must have been his mention of climate change; it's snowing in Washington D.C.

OBAMACARE FAIL: ObamaCare costs cancer-stricken Republican his doctor. But "Most Americans don’t have the means to pay for specialists out of pocket. Obamacare will kill them."

And it will reduce the strain on Social Security....

STATE OF THE UNION: “It’s the most nauseating display in American public life — and I write that as someone who has just returned from a pornographers’ convention.”

The annual State of the Union pageant is a hideous, dispiriting, ugly, monotonous, un-American, un-republican, anti-democratic, dreary, backward, monarchical, retch-inducing, depressing, shameful, crypto-imperial display of official self-aggrandizement and piteous toadying, a black Mass during which every unholy order of teacup totalitarian and cringing courtier gathers under the towering dome of a faux-Roman temple to listen to a speech with no content given by a man with no content, to rise and to be seated as is called for by the order of worship — it is a wonder they have not started genuflecting — with one wretched representative of their number squirreled away in some well-upholstered Washington hidey-hole in order to preserve the illusion that those gathered constitute a special class of humanity without whom we could not live.

And I'm betting he'll be watching....

A MODEST PROPOSAL for saving the State of the Union speech.

Instead of a formal speech, the president stands before Congress and the nation and has to answer five questions each from the speaker of the House and the Senate majority leader, with no answer allowed to go longer than two minutes (the House minority leader stands behind the Great Man with a cattle prod to enforce the time limit).

Sure, it would still be meaningless rhetorical drivel, but at least everybody would know from the outset exactly how long the misery will last, which ought to make it a little easier to endure.

At least it would have some entertainment value.
