The State of the Union

So. I watched Mr. Bush's speech last night. For those of you who might have missed it, here were some of the high points:

• We can only achieve peace by pursuing unending war
• We can only save our freedom by giving up our liberties
• We can only fix our half a trillion dollar budget deficit by collecting less revenue and spending more money
• We can only grow our devastated economy by renewing our commitment to the principles that crashed it in the first place
• The three million jobs lost since 2000 pale in importance to the 1000 created last month
• We can only preserve the sanctity of marriage by amending the Constitution to deny rights to homosexuals
• We can only ensure good medical care by limiting malpractice lawsuits
• We can only show our commitment to America's schoolchildren by denying schools funding while promoting sexual abstinence and mandatory drugs testing

Or, to simplify only slightly:

War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.

And did anybody else notice that he never mentioned Osama bin Laden? And what about those WMDs in Iraq? Hello?
