SOTU speech text

Check out this line from the speech:

"The United States has no right, no desire, and no intention to impose our form of government on anyone else. That is one of the main differences between us and our enemies."

Heh. He was able to say that with a straight face.

Then from the post-SOTU Reid:

"And after we worked so hard to eliminate the deficit, his policies have added trillions to the debt - in effect, a 'birth tax' of $36,000 on every child that is born."

And a non-SOTU tidbit (via Sravana): According to Alberto Gonzales, what happened to John McCain while he was in Vietnam was okie-dokie! That sort of treatment is expected in a war and unless your organs failed or you died, it doesn't qualify as torture.

(btw, I suppose this goes without saying, but anyone who votes to confirm Alberto Gonzales for the AG job, so matter his or her political persuasion, never deserves support from true progressives -- not under any circumstances. That's it. Finis.)
