My American identity ·

No interest whatsoever in:

State of the Union. What could Bush possibly say of interest? Is there anything the Republicans can come with that isn't evil? Tell you what, put Bush on Oprah -- let her ask him about those WMDs he said existed... Let her ask him why he feels the 4th Amendment doesn't apply to him. Now that I'd watch.

The Super Bowl. I have a hard time even remembering who's playing, and an impossible one remembering why. I think the NFL jumped the shark several years ago when it started awarding teams to fourth-rate places like Jacksonville, Charlotte and Indianapolis. The only other time you hear those cities mentioned is in some air travel nightmare -- "The plane couldn't land in Chicago, so you know where we had to go? Indianapolis!"

I do care about the Supreme Court and the fact that Alito got in. But why does everybody keep saying he's getting sworn in "just in time to attend the State of the Union" -- like it's a birthday party.
