SOTU...

Those of you fortunate enough to have avoided witnessing President Joe O'Biden's traincrash of a SOTU (State of the Ukraine) speech the other night, I, The Chuckmeister, your Scribe Without Portfolio, your Journalist Without Agenda, will hereby summarize it for you:

The first one-third of the speech was all about Ukraine and how we're with them, and how much we're with them, and here, let me show you a couple of people from there, and we're really, really with them, and like that.  Yeah, I know I write funny.  I talk like that too...

Then he spewed out a completely disjointed word salad of obviously poll-tested one-liners designed to gather applause.  And to be used later this year in Democrat reelection campaign commercials.  He rambled around like a BB in a boxcar, flitting from one topic to another, never fully explaining a position.  Dana Perino, famous ex-White House correspondent, quipped, "It was like he tripped and fell on the way to the lectern, and then picked them up in no particular order and started reading."

Poorly.

An example?  Sure.  At one point he blurted out, "Don't defund the police, FUND the police!"  Okay, nice.  But where did that come from?  No rhetorical segue.  No explanation.  No apology.  Especially after his Party has done its very best to bleed our police dry.  But that was it.  Nothing else about it.  And then he careened off on another tangent.  

The very best part, however, was the chance to witness our own poll-selected Vice President Kamala Harris and the Speaker of the House San Fran Nan Pelosi put on a show behind good ol' Joe.  They literally vibrated with glee at each of his mumbles.  They clapped furiously and jumped to their feet repeatedly.  But the best was when Nancy stood up and rubbed her knuckles together manically while readjusting her dentures that got me.  You had to see it.  It was pure theater.

But he ended with a promise, fellow Patriots.  You gotta' listen up America, 'cause he's promised to accomplish the following:

     *  Beat the Coronavirus.

     *  Treat mental health.

     *  Support our veterans.

     *  And, of course, cure cancer.

He made no mention of solving global warming, or curing worldwide hunger, or somehow convincing the Chicago gangs to stop shooting at each other.  Or making electric cars run on fairy farts.  Or welcoming a Bigfoot or three to the White House.

Or talking Vlad (The New Impaler) Putin into putting down his weapons and playing nice.

A poll taken the day after O'Biden's speech gave us the public's stark reaction: now just 35% of us support what he's doing.  That's an all-time low.  Oh yeah, and only 25% of the Independents.  That's the folks who are responsible for electing Congressweenies and Presidents.  And they're not happy with this one.

But hey, Joe, you be sure to keep it up!  Just like our boy Putin, you're like a mushroom.  Kept in the dark, and covered over with somebody else's s**t...
