Dark Clouds: State of the Union and the N-word
I'm listening to Senor Peligroso deliver the BIG SPEECH, State of the Union 2006:
President George W. Bush-
"At the start of 2006, more than half the people of our world live in democratic nations. And we do not forget the other half -- in places like Syria, Burma, Zimbabwe, North Korea, and Iran -- because the demands of justice, and the peace of this world, require their freedom as well."
That's the only mention of North Korea. Despite this statement from the regime's official paper just a few days ago:
"Dark clouds of a nuclear war are hanging low over the Korean Peninsula..."
Speaking of Iran:
GWB: "The Iranian government is defying the world with its nuclear ambitions -- and the nations of the world must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons. America will continue to rally the world to confront these threats.
And then later in the speech:
"America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world...To change how we power our homes and offices, we will invest more in zero-emission coal-fired plants; revolutionary solar and wind technologies; and clean, safe nuclear energy."
Clean? Safe? Nuclear Energy?
