Verbal Fish Wrap
Sorry for the snarky title to W's Big Event of W's Big Night. Well, okay, I'm not sorry.

Official White House Transcript

For the truly informed dissenter, there is useable material in virtually every paragraph with which to take task.

In a nod to the WoC(War on Christmas), Bush ends his 'speech' with:
Next week, Americans will gather to celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah. Many families will be praying for loved ones spending this season far from home -- in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other dangerous places. Our nation joins in those prayers. We pray for the safety and strength of our troops. We trust, with them, in a love that conquers all fear, in a light that reaches the darkest corners of the Earth. And we remember the words of the Christmas carol, written during the Civil War: "God is not dead, nor [does] He sleep; the Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail, with peace on Earth, goodwill to men."


Just some quick observations from this paragraph.

1) Wiccans, Atheists, Agnostics - you guys don't matter to me.

2) Bush missed the word "does," but he remembered that God is a guy.

Optional: God is alive. He doesn't sleep, and science hasn't progessed since the time of the AMERICAN Civil War. We're so damned Amero-centric that we don't even notice such things.

3) "Right" is capitalized...And the 'Right' shall also prevail.(nod to Karl Rove?)

I do appreciate the sentiment, just not the messenger. Those were originally the words of Lonfellow in the poem, Christmas Bells. Love the coded messages :)

That's all for the moment, gotta feed.

Update: I'd rather not have published this entry. I did so after only ten minutes of waking from the evening's slumber. But I did, so I'll let it stand.
