all your lights are on, but you're not home so's the tv, you let it drone your heart sweats, your body shakes more ac is what it takes you can't sleep, you can't eat if there's a chill, kick up the heat your car is big and it hauls ass it gets 8 miles per gallon of gas whoa, you like to think you're above all the turmoil if you really believe that, your hat must be tin foil cuz like it or not, you're addicted to oil.

Niiiiice... that was very funny.

Is there anything specific about this address that you'll remember a week from now?

What I will take away? Tim Kaine's left eyebrow rocketing skyward.

What will I remember? The fact that Bush has some decent speechwriters on staff. I can appreciate his speechwriters efforts. I never have like the way he delivers them. Sometimes (like when he was reading the section of the Marine's letter to his family) his emotions, devotion and humanity come out. Othertimes, it feels like he's a bumbling his way through Freshman Speech at the county high school.


Come to think of it ... some of the speechs by the freshman in Speech class are delivered better. Not nearly as well written ... but that's what having decent speechwriters'll do for ya.

I, personally, prefer to read the speech itself, rather than subject myself to Bush's mangling of the delivery.


I'll give Clinton this - regardless of what you thought about the man himself, he knew how to give a good speech.

I shall remember King's poem.
