Afterthoughts

-- Did you see the scowling face of Ted Kennedy during President Bush's speech? For the Republicans, Kennedy's pained expression means one thing: mission accomplished.

-- Proposals in the president's speech included a constitutional amendment to preserve the sanctity of marriage. The Second Amendment, the right to bear arms, already preserves the sanctity of shotgun marriages.

-- Bush urged Congress to renew the Patriot Act, which is necessary to add more cells at the Guantanamo Gulag, excuse me -- The Guantanamo Detention Center.

-- The Democratic response, delivered by Nancy Pelosi and Tom Daschle, did not work for two reasons: Nancy Pelosi and Tom Daschle.
