Thoughts...

Harry Reid didn't make it three sentences into the speech without looking pinch-faced and unpleasant.

Nancy Pelosi never uses enough Visine before these events.

I liked the line about the IRS taking "cash, check, or money order."

I'm enjoying the emphasis on Iraq in light of the surge's successes. It's good to hit these points, but my thought during the SOTU is that you're not convincing anyone who hasn't already be convinced. Nonetheless, it's good to have good news to report and hope to convey.

Update: A little bit of "ooh rah!" in the SOTU.
