My predictions regarding tonight’s State of the Union address:
- The president will vigorously assert that victory in Iraq is still possible, even though evidence suggests that the situation there is abysmally bleak
- The president will natter on about modest health care reform, even as states take the initiative in providing universal health care
- The president will natter on about token efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, even though major corporations are pushing for much more to be done
- The president will not mention Hurricane Katrina, even though New Orleans is nowhere close to being reconstructed.
- 29% of the audience watching tonight’s broadcast will be nodding in approval, provoking intense feelings of shame in their friends and families.
