SOTU and STFU

I’m pretty much in agreement with The New York Times editorial page this morning — the prez did an OK job last night.

My favorite bits involved eliminating taxpayer subsidies for Big Oil (“I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” the president said, “but they’re doing just fine on their own.”); ending the Daffy-Fudd tax breaks for the Richie Riches; and putting Average Joe back to work.

I also enjoyed watching Punkinhead Boehner looking like he’d set his granny on fire for a water glass brimming with gin. Jesus, talk about a living caricature of a corporate stooge.

I didn’t watch either of the Repuglicant responses because I didn’t feel like plucking out my eyes and throwing them at the TV. But I sure would like to see that lot do something, anything, other than stomp its feet and scream, “No! No! No!” like a spoiled snotnose with the terrible twos.
