The Speech

Last night was a big TV night what with Survivor and the President. Maybe they should have had the president in a Mayan ruin too, talking about how civilizations could implode from poor land use. I did watch President Bush, but I didn't care much for the speech. I had several thoughts, like:

There goes the domestic agenda!

The Military as first responder? NO!

Let's reinforce success, not failure!

He's channeling FDR, not RWR!

OK, I it was the broad sweep of the speach I didn't care for, but I did like a lot of the details (we need lots of Inspectors General). Maybe I wasn't the target demographic.

In other news, now that the French Quarter is reopening, NBC news is opening a bureau in New Orleans and Brian Williams will be going there to party and work on his tan during the winter months on a regular basis.
