Tonight at 9:00 pm eastern time, George W. Bush will deliver his annual State of the Union Address. No doubt he will tell us how well things are going.
He will likely tell us that the economy is strong, even though many of us are deeper in debt, and saving less, than ever before.
It is likely that he will pay lip service to reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil and in favor of alternative energy, even though last year he cut funding for several leading energy-efficiency research programs.
And, of course, he will defend his decision to send more than 20,000 more U.S. troops to Iraq, in defiance of the wishes of pretty much everyone in the world except for Senator John McCain and a handful of other handmaidens of the Bush administration.
This speech will be very difficult to listen to. Bad for the blood pressure. But at least we have the 2007 State of the Union Drinking Game (for medicinal purposes, of course).
