Wednesday's Woeful Absurdities: Old Joe Says All is Well, Nothing to See Here in SOTU

I have to admit I did not watch last night’s state of the union address by our nominal president. In fact, the only SOTUs in this century that I have watched live in full were the first one by George W. Bush, because I was in Washington DC working during that week, and the first and last ones by Donald J. Trump, just for the entertainment value on the first one, and just to see him honor Rush Limbaugh during the last one.

You would’ve had to put a gun to my head or threaten me with 8 hours of listening to Madonna and Streisand records to get me to watch the Sock Puppet read his TelePrompter for 75 minutes and shout incoherently at Republicans rightly calling him a liar from the House floor for his lies about Social Security and Medicare.

If you want to read a decent summary of all the other lies the Sock Puppet mumbled last night, this one at the Wall Street Journal will serve you well:

President Biden used his State of the Union address to try to sell Americans on his economic agenda and called for renewed bipartisanship, but his appeals for unity were punctuated by Republican lawmakers’ loud objections to his remarks
