Thirtysomething

Union

I watched the State of the Union address intermittently last night. Bush didn't stumble over too many words so, I guess it was a success.

Why do people have to clap after every two sentences? Why the standing ovation every 5 minutes? It's a 30 minute speech that takes 60 minutes to deliver. It bugs me.

I did, however, get misty when Iraqi civil rights activist Safia Taleb al-Suhail hugged Janet Norwood, mother of a Marine that was killed in Iraq. Anyone who watched that and had no emotion is just dead inside.
