Okay, I thought last night’s State of the Union speech was extraordinarily annoying. George W. Bush is still an extremely awkward speaker, and apparently he thinks the hallmark of a good speech is measured by the number of times the word “evil” appears. He overuses the word to the point where it loses most of its meaning.
And I couldn’t stand to watch it anymore after the whole Freedom Corps proposal. Ugh. I thought conservatives wanted to kill AmeriCorps, not create some senior citizen-friendly version of the program. Ack.
The weird thing, though, is that the Freedom Corps web site is even worse than I’d imagined.
On the bottom left of the page is a JPEG that is randomly chosen when you reload the page. I happened to see this doofus here on the right when I visited it. Yeah, I’ll feel a lot safer with him on the job.
Okay, maybe I am being a bit meanspirited, but isn’t this exactly the sort of bizarre feel-good crap that conservatives hated about Clinton (I hated Clinton for other reasons, but that’s beside the point)?
