I don't pay much attention to the SOTU, and I'm definitely not a SOTU historian. But doesn't every president say, The State of the Union is strong?

Well, I beg to differ, and I would hope that Obama would refrain from that particular platitude and offer an accurate description of the state of the union.

...should be cancelled indefinitely. The Union is fucked until Democrats can get a majority in the legislative and judicial branches, and since the filibuster survives. Oh yeah, and until the secret MIC is cut in half, and taxes are raised on the 1%, and healthcare becomes universal, and the education system is un-privatized, and until the lobbyists are thrown out and K Street is shut down, and the NRA is abolished and assault rifles and their giant magazines are outlawed and background checks are serious and enforced. And that's just for starters. Thanks for the cartoon, kpete. So apropos for the day.
