This was pretty boring. I mean, I didn't expect any bombshells (like Bush announcing that he was switching to the Democratic party) and it was populated by the usual overdone standing ovations for every fourth fucking sentence, but I at least expected to get worked up over more stuff. I mean, it was pretty blah blah social security blah blah terrorism blah blah, which is exactly like I figured it would be except I thought he would talk about terrorism first.

But here's when it hit me, after the second beer (and no dinner) - it all makes sense now. The republicans have had several goals in mind for decades, but biggest is the abolition of all government. First, they steal the 2000 election with the perfect patsy populist. Then they get 9/11 to happen one way or the other (I'm not going to suggest any conspiracies [right now]) and then they can start wars to do all of the oil pipeline shit they need to do (which is the other big prong of it all). But the beauty is that the patriotic fervor (as well as total media control) allows them to win a second election (or a first, depending on how you look at it) and then get to the really important thing - dismantling any remnants of a welfare state. Social security is the first step, as GW made it clear tonight. But next comes the complete deregulation of everything, the elimination of all government programs except the military and an end to income tax (unless you make less than $20,000 probably). I mean, it's pretty clear this is what Grover Norquist and his boys have been dreaming of, and now it's all going to fall into place. War is a decoy. The war on terrorism - it's crap, the major focus of this adminstration's next four years is going to be DOMESTIC ABUSE.

WHICH IS AMAZING - because you could actually see Bush's undershirt through his suit on C-Span. And we all know what a "wifebeater" is. GW, hanging out in his wifebeater in the Oval office - I wonder if he ever has weird euphoric visions, weird visions like he's just washing his car while dressed like a bear, or maybe he has dice instead of eyes. I know that I have these visions. Three of them.
