Live blogging with the SOTU

9:52: Been trying forever to get a post up on blogger without success. So far it feels like I've been prevented from posting by every technical glitch ever. But so far it can be summed up as bad, bad and ugly. Not much new added here. Liked what he said about energy, but that seems mostly hot air, and he mentioned nothing about a gas tax. His sections on National defense and Iraq sounded like stump speeches from two years ago, except where he tried, pathetically, to turn the Iraq civil war into an American problem. And adding another 92,000 to the Armed Forces--with a build up against Iran. Good luck with that. Still--there is no doubt that Bush is at his best when he talks about terrorism and fear, but it remains to be seen if we can be scared anymore.
