SOTU ’07

Many bloggers who are far more educated, erudite and knowledgeable than myself will have much to say about tonight’s State of the Union speech. So I’ve selected just one minute of it.
Bush refers to the 19 men who “got onto airplanes” and came “to kill us.” Fifteen of those men were from Saudi Arabia.
Tonight, Bush said, “The great question of our day is whether America will help men and women in the Middle East to build free societies, and share in the rights of all humanity.”
I’ve been to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and let me tell you something. Secure it is. Free it isn’t.
Hear any talk of invading Saudi Arabia? Didn’t think so.

I’m sure you’re checking out The Colbert Report online for yourself, right? Nobody is counting on me, I hope, to provide highlights, since the show is now available online.
But last Monday’s intro with Jon Stewart was too good to make you go look for it. He can be so cold, even cruel, sometimes.
Electric Memory

A while back I made mention of Phyllis Diller, and the fact my mother was a fan of hers. This weekend we watched Who Killed the Electric Car? and by chance Diller appears in it for a few moments.
Duh
More guns equal more murders in U.S. states: study
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – American states where more people own guns have higher murder rates, including murders of children, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health reported on Thursday.
Storm Trooping
I stopped paying attention to Bush’s speech about his latest plans for Iraq after he said this, because it’s the only part that matters.
[audio:http://www.dograt.com/Audio/JAN07/BushSpeech.mp3]Going door-to-door to gain the trust of Baghdad residents? Don’t think so. There’s going to be a clamp-down. The residents of Baghdad are already terrified to leave their homes, and now they’ll be terrified in their homes. A lot of civilians are going to get killed.
