It finally warms up a bit and we get some snow. That sounds weird.
W’s got his big SOTU speech lined up tonight…wonder what’s on the menu to feed to the masses? My guess is he’s going to talk about some ideas and plans for the economy that we heard 20 years ago; he’ll tell us that the nation needs to “come together”; and some fuzzy intelligence on why we need to take out Iraq.
I am optimistic about the “coming together” part, because there’s nothing like a big science project to get the ol’ wheels of democracy and capitalism turning.
As for Iraq, I believe they have had it coming regardless of what the UN people would find. And that’s a terrible thing for a lot of people but at this point I just hope it’s quick and not too painful for either side. I wonder if Saddam Hussein will end up pulling what I like to call the “oldest dictator cliche` in the book” and commit suicide just as they move in to capture him?
