I would watch the SOTU, but I'm sorry, he's not relevant anymore.

3. interesting... I said just that in my newspaper column on Thursday
http://www.cumberlink.com/articles/2008/01/28/editorial/rich_lewis/lewis43.txt

here's the opening few grafs:

Watching the news the other night, I saw a bit of film of President Bush speaking at some conference. I turned to my wife and said, half-jokingly, "Oh, is he still president?"

I say “half-jokingly” because Bush, indeed, has become shockingly irrelevant. Sure, all lame-duck presidents lose power and prestige as the voters and their parties look to the next election. But Bush hasn’t weakened, he has evaporated, leaving behind a thick mist of bad memories and unresolved troubles.

Bush was never prepared or qualified to be president, and we should be happy enough to see him disappear, but it is somehow infuriating that he may never be called to account for the damage he has done.

Which brings us to the war in Iraq.....

4. Watch it, to see what our children will blame us for not changing.

7. I don't have children either (terrible time to have them, this is) but I will take responsibility
for not having fought harder for the truth and our freedom.
