State of the Union
Jan. 29th, 2003 03:35 pmGoing over the text of the State of the Union speech (I wasn't able to watch it on TV), I'm writing a more in-depth commentary, but a few things struck me at my first glance:
1. The speechwriters are finally learning how to write for W. Lots of
very short sentences, with no complex words. I bet he was able to get through just about all of it without embarrassing himself at all, wasn't he?
2. One interesting thread:
We are going to attack Iraq without waiting for the inspectors' reports in order to insure peace.
We need to curtail rights of Americans in order to protect our Freedom.
Our fight against AIDS will be bolstered by cutting funds to education.
In other words: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.
I think I've heard this one before.
