The idiot in the Oval Office gets a chance to talk to people tomorrow night, without college kids peppering him with hard questions that he can't answer. (Great editorial in the globe here...)
I'm curious to see what he has to say for himself. In the past year, we've discovered that the President doesn't follow the laws of his country, that there was no evolution, that George Bush doesn't care about black people, that there were no weapons of mass destruction (oops, everyone knew this already), that Congress and the Senate was full of people taking bribes, etc etc.
So seriously, is there a year on record that sucked more? Honestly, the first time I see any possibility for optimism is in 2008 when we might have someone better in charge. I am sincerely scared shitless of the damage that Curious George could do when he's not worried about getting re-elected.
So I will be watching the State of the Union tomorrow night to find out if putz boy is cutting our funding again. Dumb fucker. I'm sincerely worried that my head will explode if I watch Bushy mumble his way through lies and incompetence. This is going to require alcohol.
Fortunately, the next day Bumbling Bush will announce his budget. If last year holds true, this won't be anywhere close to what the actual budget for 2006 looks like, but it should be suitably horrifying.

In other news, according to the Chronicle for Higher Education, we have finally reached the point where more than half of all people receiving financial aid grant monies are middle income or above. The Buffoon in DC calls this "Merit" based aid, but what it really means is that the only way for poor people to graduate from college is with heavy loan debt. Sweet! for more opinions, read the article that I linked to above, and you all no doubt skipped over.
