Remember what I said yesterday? Yeah, you can ignore it.

Bush says one thing during the SOTU, his administration backs off the very next day. I'm predicting that in 20 years, the President will be able to make up fantastical tales during the SOTU and the media won't blink an eye. Um...

20 years? He basically already can: chimera creation was weighted almost as heavily as Katrina in his "speech."

hence the "um..."

no, no, crazymonk, you've got it all wrong. the presidents' job is to say things in front of the country that have no relation to the truth -- let's call them, uh, "slies" -- and then do whatever the fuck he wants. you liberal hippy types just have no idea how government works.

think of that famous scene from "deliverance."

This is beautiful:
"He acknowledged that oil is a freely traded commodity bought and sold globally by private firms. Consequently, it would be very difficult to reduce imports from any single region, especially the most oil-rich region on Earth."
... On the other hand, what's not very difficult is mobilizing 150,000 American troops to fight battles to protect our control of this 'freely traded commodity.'

As for the additional funding, my good friend Pete, who has witnessed first hand high-level discussions about the funding of ethanol production and such, says:
"Looking over the president's speech- you have some major statements that just about anyone can agree with (eg. "this country is addicted to oil"). But nothing in the actions of republican leadership, or in proposed plans by Bush actually address the problems. He pumps up technology as the answer to dependence on oil (not conservation...) - The government spent 200 mil. a year on energy research for the past five years. This money was carved up into little chunks, much of it going to pet projects and earmarks, so that only one tenth of it really went to ground breaking research. Take that number: 20 mil. a year and compare it to the cost of the war in Iraq? Bush proudly announced a 22% increase in this technology funding- paltry!
I swear that these people live in an alternate universe."

WELL HE BETTER NOT GO BACK ON HIS PROMISE TO STOP ANIMAL-HUMAN HYBRIDS OR HE'S LOSING MY VOTE!

manimals?!

if exxon et alia are posting record-setting profits, shouldn't they, as forward-thinking, responsible companies, be footing the bill for alternative-energy research, rather than taxpayers?

or am i living in an alternate universe?

Man-Animals can't mine!

Perhaps if we feed the man-animals their favorite food they will do our bidding. Now I we just need to figure out what that food might be. Hmmm...

Well, the current hot manimals are mice with human brains (soon to be, seriously) that have been grown up in labs. I'm willing to bet their favorite food is either coke, heroin, or an as-yet-unreleased antidepressant.
