I didn’t watch the State of the Union address last night. I was busy eating at Roscoe’s Divine House of Chicken and Waffles instead. I think it was a wise choice based upon the delightful highlights I have heard so far. I just wanted to comment on a brilliant observation that King George gave us last night:

“America is addicted to oil.”

“Oh, an observation, huh? Well who the hell are you, man? Isaac fucking Newton?” Yes Clint from Dazed and Confused, George Bush is Isaac fucking Newton. A brilliant observer of our fucked situation. Well guess what El Presidente? Maybe we wouldn’t be so dependent upon fossil fuels if:

• You didn’t pass legislation giving huge tax breaks to people who buy Hummers and other gas hogging vehicles.

• Our economy wasn’t so fucked that most of us have to live many miles away from the places that we work.
• Your little Texas oil buddy assholes weren’t making money hand over fist.
• You would start spending some money here at home instead of in countries half way across the globe.
• Speaking of that, would you even give a flying fuck about the Middle East if it weren’t for the oil?

So those are my thoughts on the small part of the SOTU address that I caught.

I’ll be watching you, Newton!
