Save Time-- Don't Watch the State of the Union

Please don't waste your time tonight. Skip the State of the Union speech that will be given by President Bush. Last night on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart, explained that the president's previous speeches could predict what he'll say tonight. Raw Story has the video here: Jon Stewart on You Tube
I wonder where Bush found Roget's Monosaurus?

* Have you ever visited the RNCC.org? It is the site for the GOP members of Congress and their campaign events. I was searching their event list and discovered that The Associated General Contractors PAC has a townhouse (the AGC/Associated General Contractors townhouse) where many of the Republican fundraisers are held. According to Open Secrets, the Associated General Contractors PAC contributed quite a lot to candidates in 2006. The AGC PAC gave, according to Open Secrets:

Total to Democratic House Candidates:	$80,834
Total to Republican House Candidates:	$691,246

and...

Total to Democratic Senate Candidates:	$26,500
Total to Republican Senate Candidates:	$109,500

Isn't it amazing that the Republicans are still cozy with these PACs despite the Abramoff, Ney, Cunningham, and other lobbying scandals? The reason why the Republicans will never change their behavior is that they love money more than people. These Republicans were the same ones complaining that the new Democratic leadership was forcing them to work 5 days per week. I guess the 5 day work week was cutting into the Republican fundraisers at the AGC Townhouse and other places.
