Upcoming: Bush's State of the Union 7.0

I'm getting that giddy feeling that can only mean one thing, the President's State of the Union is right around the corner. Safe to say there won't be any talk about Iraqis buying yellowcake uranium from Niger. What I am looking forward to is how GWB is going to work switchgrass into the speech. I have no idea if there is any practical basis for switchgrass being discussed as a alternative energy source. I am fascinated every time I hear the President mention it.

The Enemy - Redefined

Based upon the President's news conference this morning it appears that GWOT, The Global War on Terror, has gone the way of "Stay the Course" and least for the moment.

The terminology was imprecise and not particularly additive to discussion or debate. Moreover, definitionally, the "war" was interminable and thus, unwinable. The enemy (at least in Iraq) are now described as "extremists." Is this change in nomenclature a positive sign? Perhaps.

Uh oh, btw switchgrass is back (GWB mentioned it again today). I for one can't wait to go cruisin' in my switchgrass powered Hundai.
