Half-Live Blogging the Bush Speech So it turns out the liquor store delivers; we're half-watching the big terror speech after all--and half-blogging it between snorts. 10:11 Bush says terrorists "evil, not insane." What, so we've administered standardized tests or something? 10:14 We know they're militant because of the videos and web sites that terrorists release. If only we had adopted that supersecret surveillance tactic during the aftermath of Katrina! 10:16. First WMD mention! Drink! 10:17 "They are fanatical extremists and they should not be dismissed" Did we miss something? Is an al Qaeda guy up for a Justice Department job? 10:18 "A culture of victimization in which someone else is always to blame and violence is always the solution." Wait, isn't that the Martha Stewart Apprentice show? . . . 10:20 Third 9/11 Mention! Make-up drinks! 10:21 "No concession, bribe, or act of appeasement would alter their plans for murder." Uh, so the Iraqi Constitution does appear officially doomed, then. 10:23 "Never back down, never give in, never accept anything less than complete victory." Bush turns to camera and mouths "I love Springsteen." 10:25 "They are not just the enemies of America or Iraq, they are the enemies of Islam and of humanity." God, they must throw really poorly attended parties. 10:27. Cowardice vs. Courage! The missing antinomy that's been shackling our efforts! Now that we've figured this out, that whole complete victory thingamee should be a walk in the park! 10:28 "Free people will own the future." Or at least get it on a time-share. 10:30 "We're determined to prevent the actions of terror networks before they occur." A significant departure from the old strategy of trying to prevent them after they occur. . . 10:32 "Evil men with horrendous intentions are working against us." Really, dude, George Soros doesn't have access to to WMDs. 10:33 "The United States makes no distinction between those who commit acts of terror and those nations who harbor them." Translation: I remembered the main plank of my foreign policy doctrine, and how well it went over after 9/11. 10:35 "Some observers adopt a self-defeating pessimism." Busted. Ouch. 10:37 By any measure, Iraq has made amazing progress, from tyranny to elections to a constitution in 2 1/2 years. Too bad about that airport road, though. . . 10:38 Democracy not a fragile flower, but a healthy sturdy tree. And Osama bin Laden is . . .the Cheshire Cat? 10:41. "There is no peace without victory." Hello, Richard Nixon. 10:46 "The love of freedom is the mightiest force in history." Also: The children are the future, and I decided long ago not to walk in anyone's shadow. Thank you, and God bless America. wonkette.com

What about this version of Loser: Loser (From the Mellow Gold Album) [Written by Beck Hansen, Karl Stephenson] In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose Kill the headlights and put it in neutral Stock car flaming with a loser in the cruise control Baby's in Reno with the vitamin-D Got a couple of couches, sleep on the loveseat Someone keeps sayin' I'm insane to complain about A shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt Don't believe everything that you breathe You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve So shave your face with some mace in the dark Saving all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park Yo cut it! I'm a loser baby So why don't you kill me? (double-barrel buckshot) I'm a loser baby So why don't you kill me? The forces of evil on a bozo nightmare Ban all the music with a phoney gas chamber 'Cause one's got a weasel and other's got a flag One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag With the re-run shows and the cocaine nosejob The daytime crap of a folksinger slob He hung himself with a guitar string A slab of turkey neck and it's hanging from a pigeon wing And you can't write if you can't relate Trade the cash for the beat and body for the hate And my time is a piece of wax falling on a termite And it's choking on the splinters I'm a loser baby So why don't you kill me? (Get crazy with the Cheez-Whiz) Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby So why don't you kill me? (Drive-by body pierce…) ANOTHER VOICE: Yo bring on down (I'm a driver, I'm a winner… things are gonna change, I can feel it) I'm a loser baby So why don't you kill me? (I can't believe you!) I'm a loser baby So why don't you kill me? I'm a loser baby So why don't you kill me? I'm a loser baby So why don't you kill me? (Know what I'm saying?)
