Big Oil, Big Brother Win Big in
the State of the Union

There was that tongue again.
When the President lies he's got this weird nervous tick: He sticks the tip of
his tongue out between his lips. Like a little boy who knows he's fibbing. Like
a snake licking a rat.

President did his tongue thing 124 times -- my kids kept count.

"How will the president describe the state of our union? Well, over the past six tumultuous years, he has always managed to find just the right word to encapsulate the complexities of our times [on screen: Bush using varieties of 'strong']. Strongly, we will use strength to bestrongen our strongness, for strongaliciousness is strongtastic. ...
