1. So *that* is why the air is clearer and the sun seems brighter.

4. Actually, he probably will
As is custom in the modern era, he will likely give a final official SOTU address in writing next January. The new President will address a joint session of congress around the same time. People will THINK that the address is an official SOTU address, but it will not be. That's why last nights address was juniors seventh, not number eight. However, junior DID address a joint session of congress in February, 2001, a little over a month after taking office.

I know, it's a common mistake, made repeatably by the talking heads last night.

So go ahead an celebrate.

6. Actually, I heard on the radio that he opted out of that (it's an optional SOTU)
He's got too much vacation to think of dirtying his "beautiful mind"<1> with another SOTU.

7. He has nearly a year to decide.

But it's possible. There isn't even a requirement for a annual official SOTU, just "from time to time".

5. You think THIS is a beautiful day....
Try this one: January 20, 2009. You are invited to a worldwide party to celebrate the long-awaited departure of the Worst President Ever and his evil sidekick.

9. Sorry to rain on your Beautiful Day, but....
children are dying from war, people are being bombed, women are being raped and mutilated, families are homeless, innocent people are being tortured in our name and we have a WAR CRIMINAL as our pResident. No, its STILL a sad ugly day in amerika. And no Rose Colored Glasses are gonna make it go away. Flame Away.

14. Of course not....Rather than celebrating a hollow "victory"
we should work harder to rectify the criminal activities of this administration.
