State of the Union: Condensed Version29 January 2008
- O hai! This is the last time I get to do this, and as usual, I’m going to act like everything I’ve done hasn’t been a complete fucking disaster. And anything that I can’t write off I’ll blame on Congress or someone else entirely. Here we go…
- The economy. Somethings are this way, some things are that way. Who knows what the hell is going on? The only thing to be done is to make sure all the rich people never have to pay the taxes I got them out of when I originally started dismantling the economy. This will help regular people because when rich people keep more of their money they tip better. That’s a fact.
- Next week, I’ll send you a budget that terminates or substantially reduces 151 wasteful or bloated programs, totaling more than $18 billion. The budget that I’ll submit will keep America on track for a surplus in 2012. When I say “wasteful or bloated” I mean “poor people use them.” And when I say “surplus” I mean “HAHAHAHAHAHA! Suck it, assholes!”
- Here’s some bullshit about earmarks. On the list of issues I should address in a SOTU speech, “earmarks” comes in just under “where’s the best barbecue.” But this is my speech, so shut up.
- Let’s talk about healthcare. Pretend I’m the government and pretend you’ve got two service industry jobs, three kids and no insurance. You’re all like, “I’ve been coughing blood for two weeks and one of my eyes fell out and I can’t afford to go to the doctor! Waaaah!” And then I’m all like, “woah, I’m the government! I don’t know shit about doctorin’ dude! Let’s wrap that eyeball up in a health savings account and you go home and pray to Jesus to make you better! And don’t talk to any lawyers. Feel better yet? Not my business!”
- Thanks to No Child Left Behind, not a single child has been left behind. Stragglers have been shot.
- Vague jabbering about trade and tariffs. I couldn’t follow this stuff in Star Wars Episode I and it doesn’t really make much sense to me now. Need a bathroom break? Now’s the time.
- Here’s the part where I talk about how great it would be if we would reduce oil dependency and also fighting climate change. Later Mr. Cheney and I will replay this bit and we will laugh and laugh.
- Science is great and needs our support unless it makes the baby Jesus cry. This is why I think science should keep working to make bigger plasma teevees and Big Gulps.
- I commend all Americans who have devoted their time to community service, especially in the still-struggling gulf coast reason. Good plan, people, because you aren’t getting shit from us.
- I should also mention the problems of illegal immigration because it’s one of the only things my political base of zenophobic jackoffs will back me up on. I’m just that bad at this presidenting job!
- Speaking of being bad at presidenting, let’s talk about foreign policy. Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebannon, Palestine, all of it is fucked. You know it and deep down I know it too. But if we all keep clapping it’s going to get better! Because voting scares away terrorists! Voting keeps evil away! Oh, wait, I’m still here. Is Cheney still sitting back there? So much for that theory.
- OMFG how great was that surge? Best. Surge. Ever. Let’s never stop surging. I’m going to keep saying ‘surge’ for a while. It makes me happy since I can’t pronounce ‘escalation’.
- A free Iraq will deny al Qaeda a safe haven. A free Iraq will show millions across the Middle East that a future of liberty is possible. A free Iraq will be a friend of America, a partner in fighting terror and a source of stability in a dangerous part of the world. Unicorns live forever and shit twizzlers and maraschino cherries.
- Our message to the people of Iran is clear. We have no quarrel with you. When the bombs start falling, they will still blow the living fuck out of you all, but please don’t take it personally.
- One thing you all look forward to in these speeches is when I tout awesome things America is doing that you will never hear about again and will later suspect I made up on the spot. This year: fighting global hunger, malaria and AIDS. Weren’t expecting malaria, were you, jerks?
- And finally, have some self-serving horseshit about how much I worry about our veterans and their care after they’ve served our country. Please don’t note out loud how nothing I say about it is ever reflected in any way by the actual actions of my administration.
- I’ll close with some happy crap about the constitution that I’ve been systematically shitting on daily for seven solid years. God Bless America.

You didn’t actually watch the SOTU, did you? That is not healthy.
