Kansans

Things I thought and later remembered while watching the State of the Union address and the Democratic Response:

  • I actually missed the first half of the State of the Union. And by missed, I don't mean in the sentimental sense
  • Is Kathleen Sebelius, the governor of Kansas, really the best person to represent United States Democrats?
  • Man, I'm bored
  • Shouldn't Governor Sebelius have shutdown Kansas' Board of Education after they "intelligently" voted on the theory of creationism?
  • Yawn
  • I had no idea folks from Kansas were called Kansans. I always assumed they were called Kansasistanis, Kansasknights or Kentuckians.
  • Later research has shown me where I can finally get a photo of this dreamboat to hang over my bed. They really should increase the contrast on the black and white image; it looks rather flat
  • John McCain is really scary looking when he smiles, and his teeth are kind of buttery
  • Maybe McCain stole Paul Wall's grill
  • Did John really just say he appreciated George Bush's sincerity?
  • Chocolate chunks, chips, or a fudge swirl really make chocolate ice cream more appealing to me
  • Does anyone notice if you use the same State of the Union address a few years in a row, changing Iraq for Iran? (To "quote" Outkast, "Bombs over....Tehran?")
  • The audience at the State of the Union address was a who's who, with Senators, House of Representatives, Supreme Court Justices, even Bob Dole. It reminded me of the scene in the Muppets Take Manhattan when Kermit married Miss Piggy, and the casts from the Muppets Show, Sesame Street and various other muppet related shows came out to celebrate. Oh look, there's Sweetums, Sam the Eagle, Gonzo and oh my gosh, even Bert and Ernie!!
