since i was out yesterday, i have to make up for it

and the state of the union stuff on the net. i started to watch it. i wanted to. but then he made me so mad...

j-walk delivers the SOTU news i had been waiting to hear.
For the record, the president's first mention of 9/11 came at 9:15, only about eight minutes into the speech, which had begun, following the usual preliminaries, at 9:07.
State of the Union By the Numbers. this guy analyzed words, applauses, etc. from the last few SOTU speeches.
So the real news here is that things haven't changed much. Despite 2,200+ dead soldiers, the price of gasoline nearly doubling, the national debt skyrocketing, the number of disenfranchised growing, his own poll data plummeting, Bush's speeches show consistency.
interestingly, applauses are down.
