Seriously, I kept waiting for his little tongue to zip out so he could catch a fly. I did like his magenta tie, though.
I have nothing to report about the State of the Union Address because
President Bush didn't say much, but when does he ever? It was 55 minutes of the Peanuts teachers. Mwrah-mrah-mrah mrah mrah-mrah-mrah.
What struck me most was the weird, creepy high school vibe I got seeing
Barack Obama sitting with
Ted Kennedy. It totally reminded me of the popular senior picking one kid out of obscurity while turning a cold shoulder to another. It was so very "You can sit with me at assembly, but Hillary's out. Ha ha." I felt like I was watching
Mean Girls: The Senate Years.
That said, I can't wait for the future, which might be short if either the
asteroid or the
spy satellite get us.
In other news,
Christopher Nolan wrote a
touching tribute to
Heath Ledger in this week's
Newsweek, and furthering the warm and fuzzy, here's an update on the fate of
Michael Vick's pit bulls.
Tom goes back to Kentucky tomorrow so I'm bummed. It's nice to, you know, see your spouse and stuff.
Later tater,
Ms. P

SO very Jr. High. And the photo of Obama turning his back to Hillary as she she shook hands with Ted? SERIOUSLY - so freakin' jr. high.
With all the election hullabaloo, my thoughts have been pleasantly Bush/Cheney free for months now. I did not realize the extent to which my tolerance had waned 'til last night. 55 minutes and I wanted to rinse out my brain. Get it off! Get it off! So I turned over to Colbert. Did you see it? I love Colbert, but I don't always love him like his hardcore fans love him. Well, the man is a straight up genius.
He had "Pastor Rick" Warren of The Purpose Driven Life fame and they chatted and Colbert got down to it, "But you believe the bible, being the word of God, is inerrant, right?" Rick said "Right." So you think we should be stoning gay people - Leviticus." And Rick looked like he'd been set up/caught and didn't know what to say, so he stammered, oddly "Heh heh, Who are your writers?" Colbert didn't miss a beat, "No one tonight, sir, but the innerant word of God." GENIUS! Such a smarty:)
Sorry 'bout the hubs...
Yes, I saw that. Generally, I don't actually mind Rick Warren that much (even though I should). That interview was awkward with a capital "A."
I saw Obama's people trying to explain away his turned back on MSNBC this morning. They said he was just trying to give Hillary some time with Ted. Err, so he couldn't even say hello?
