POLITICS: Write your own speech!

POLITICS: Write your own speech!

...Yeah, I didn't watch the State of the Union last night, and I'm a journalist. Bad form, eh? I can't handle the things. Even when Bill Clinton, who's a far better public speaker than either Bush, was in office, I tuned out usually. These glorified cheerleading opportunities/wish lists are long on rhetoric, short on substance, and I can't handle the breaking-WHOOOHOO--into the --CLAPCLAPCLAP-- speech every few sec—HURRAH!—seconds for applause.

Instead, I'm making my own speech. Yes, kids, you too can be the President! Write your own State of the Union speech!
