So, Tuesday night I was all excited about the State of the Union show. I really thought Texas might have a chance to win this year, since we helped out Louisiana with all that weather stuff and won the Rose Bowl. California won State of the Union last year, if I remember correctly, for turning their governor's mansion into a home for out of work actors. Anyway, I had my big, foam "Texas #1" finger and my "I (HEART SHAPE) Texas" T-shirt and my popcorn and I was set for a great show.
Well, let me tell you, was I ever disappointed. I've heard that those award shows have gotten political, but this one was ridiculous. Remember George Bush? He was Vice President of the United States of America under Ronald Reagan and then I think he was President himself for a few years. Well his son, who's also named George apparently, was the emcee. The dude just went on and on and on and on. He never shut up. I kept expecting the orchestra to start and someone to escort him away, but they never did. It was awful. When he finally quit talking, I kid you not, THE SHOW WAS OVER! They didn't even announce who won the State of the Union!
I swear, this guy must be thinking about running for office or something. That's crazy, I know, since he can't even pronounce the word "nuclear" (he said "nucular" all night), but stranger things have happened. What a freak.
One thing he said, though, was about animal and human hybrids or something. Is someone trying to do that? Why? What's the purpose? I Googled it and got this quote:
Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research -- human cloning in all its forms -- creating or implanting embryos for experiments, creating human-animal hybrids and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos.George W. Bush

Freaky. So, anyway, I guess California keeps the title for another year or something. Oh well.
So, how are all of you? Talk to me.
Later. Love.
